After receiving this call, Shen Long immediately packed up his things and returned to New York, in fact, he had known about this matter for a long time, but it was inconvenient to mention it to his godfather without evidence, and now with the clues found by Albert Nairy, he could finally tell his godfather.

Still in the godfather's study, he sat behind the chair as usual, listening to Shen Long's report, "Recently, one of my subordinates, the policeman Tom fished out of prison a while ago, found out an interesting piece of news. ”

"There is a captain officer in the police department named Mark McRobles, he has four sons, all of whom are studying at Fortham University, and coincidentally Bruno Tartaglia is also studying at this university, and he and one of the sons of Officer McRobles are classmates, and they have developed a good personal friendship during their time at university."

"After graduating from college, Bruno returned to New York and opened a nightclub, where the McRobles family often had a good time, and every New Year's Day, Bruno would send a beautiful invitation to Officer McRobles, give them the best seats in the nightclub, invite them to enjoy the show, and introduce them to the stars who came to perform."

"Accordingly, Officer McRobles occasionally helps Bruno with minor troubles, such as removing a stain on the file of a nightclub employee, who is usually a pretty girl."

"Given what just happened, I felt it was necessary to make arrangements ahead of time for Officer McRobles." In the movie, it was this guy who captured the Corleone family's bodyguards guarding outside the hospital after the godfather was assassinated and hospitalized, and if Mike hadn't arrived in time, the godfather would have died; Later, he also provided security for Solozo, but unfortunately Mike did not care about his identity as a police officer and decisively shot and killed him.

However, Mike also had to flee to Sicily for refuge, after all, McRobles was a captain police officer, and killing a police officer has always been a taboo for the gangsters, because it would attract serious reprisals from the police.

"That 'money grabber' from Ireland?" The godfather quickly retrieved McRobles' information from memory, and in his mind's eye, he had a record of all the people in New York who could have had an impact on the Corleone family's business.

"Yes, that's him, Albert said that this guy grew up with his father, who was a patrolman, and every time he came back, his pocket was full of money, and since then he decided to grow up to be a policeman, and now it seems that he is far better than his father." The craft of making money is an ancestral tradition of the McRobles family.

The rank of captain is not low, there are tens of thousands of police officers in New York, only a few hundred can become captains, generally the director of a certain substation or the backbone of a higher-level organization, there are many subordinates, who have the power to sweep away the business in the Corleone family's jurisdiction, if used properly, it is enough to cause serious losses to the Corleone family.

"Fredo, it's not just a matter of sending some money to deal with people like that, we're going to build friendship with them, just like you did with Mr. Hoover." The godfather took this opportunity to remind Shen Long, "Then this person will be handed over to you to be responsible, don't make any moves yet, continue to let your people stare at him and see what he will do, you can also find Phillips, who happens to be a detective in McRobles's bureau." ”

The Corleone family's network is so close that they can be found there, and in the movie, it was this Phillips who leaked the restaurant that McRobles had booked, so that Clemansha could hide the gun in the bathroom of the restaurant in advance, and Mike took the opportunity to negotiate and took out the pistol to kill McRobles and Solozo.

"Okay, I'll go to Phillips when he's on vacation." Shen Long responded, he didn't choose Phillips to work, which may expose himself.

"Well, it's always good to be careful." The godfather waved his hand and signaled that Shen Long could go out, which reminded him of his eldest son, Santino.

In 1939, when the Corleone family moved their family from downtown New York to Long Beach, there were only four houses in the area, one for Jayannecoe Abandandou, Santino, and the godfather to live in, leaving one empty.

About a week after they moved in, three workers who claimed to be boiler inspectors in Long Beach came to their home, and the three men did not know the details of the family, and went to the basement to see their boiler and declared that there was a problem with the boiler parts and that it needed to be replaced for $150.

This was a popular method of blackmail at the time, and at this time the godfather happened to want to train Santino to be his deputy, so he arranged for him to deal with the matter, and Santino listened to the workers' request, and immediately asked the bodyguards to point guns at them, beat them with sticks, and forced them to fix the boiler and clean the basement.

He asked for the address and owner of the company they belonged to, and personally approached the boss and warned him never to send anyone to Long Beach again.

This approach did not please the godfather, violence was an indispensable tool for the family, but it must not be abused, and Santino's method was too direct and lacked Sicilian subtlety.

The Godfather then strengthened his cooperation with the local police, obtained information on all the criminals in the area, and within a year, Long Beach was the most secure town of its size in the United States, which is ironic, but true.

In this process, the Godfather took a very clever approach, completely different from Santino's methods, so that those criminals and fraudsters had to accept his terms, if it was replaced by Santino, it is not known how much blood will be shed in Long Beach.

From then on, the godfather thought that Santino might be a good legion commander, but he was never fit to be the patriarch of the family, and Fredo had been very mediocre before, so he turned his attention to his youngest son Mike, but Mike was not very interested in family affairs, and he was disappointed to be in the U.S. military and enter college without his knowledge.

But in recent times, Fredo has ushered in a radical change, he is very experienced in handling affairs, he is not impatient and meticulous, and several things assigned to him are handled very well, and the godfather's consideration of the heir begins to waver.

So let's observe for a while to see if he has changed on a whim or if it has really changed, the godfather made a decision in his heart, slowly got up and picked up the record that Shen Long had just put on his desk, put it in the record player, poured a glass of wine and returned to the chair and sat down.

After a while, the familiar voice of Nino Valenti and the familiar Sicilian folk songs came from the record player, and the godfather leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed, he loved the gift from Johnny.
