Chapter 4 The American version is embattled
"Okay, I roughly get it. So, now that the FBI is involved, none of your previous relationships will be useful? He felt a little sympathetic to the other side.
The fact that the Italian mafia has been rampant in the United States for decades is inseparable from the "love" and "understanding" of the local government and police.
The "tacit understanding" that the "family" threw a huge amount of real money into it in exchange for is not used at the moment, is there anything more disgusting in the world.
"The FXXK Mad Dogs have become gods since the passage of the RICO Act, and John Gotti and Sam Anghikarna have all been involved!"
Edward did not know either men, but had often seen them in the news media.
The former is the star of hope of the first mafia family in New York - the Gambino family, and the latter is the apprentice of the successor of the Chicago crime syndicate - "Machine Gun Capone".
"So, now they're eyeing you?" Edward asked with some skepticism, Ferrice Nizzo was a well-known figure in Brooklyn, but far from the "historical heights" and "great achievements" of the two
"I'm unlucky, neither I nor my clan are in a position of superiority, and usually these mad dogs are only interested in 'council' level families. I am the horn of your family, and our Nizo family is only a vassal member of the Genovese family. β
"And the coalition of the five New York families of the 'Committee' including the Genoves family plus the major families of Chicago, Philadelphia, and other cities is like, like," Ferriter thought about it, and finally found a fitting metaphor for the permanent members of the United Nations. β
"Hehe, hehe, I see......" The corners of Edward's eyes twitched slightly
"But because the Gambino family and the Chicago crime syndicate have been planted one after another, these big families are very cautious so as not to be caught. After all, we live in a country governed by the rule of law, don't we? Fericher added
"Uh-huh" Edward felt that the other party was an interesting person, but a gangster with other people's blood on his hands mentioned "living in a country governed by the rule of law" more than once, and seemed to praise it from the heart, which really made people want to laugh "So, they are eyeing you and your family?" β
"So to speak. The FBI seized this opportunity to use Dammy to make an exchange with me, making me a tainted witness for them, accusing Nizo's 'boss' of even wanting to 'develop' on the side of the Genoves family! Damn, how could I possibly do such a thing! β
"Well......" Edward asked again, frowning, "let's be frank, you can't think of a way to deal with this matter from the victim's family?" Although this is a public prosecution case, the attitude of the victim's family is very important, if the other party does not bite you to death, even the FBI will not be able to make a big deal, after all, the body has not been found. Right, I don't need to teach you how to do this. β
"Hey...... This time it was really unlucky, and FXXK's lady luck seemed to be gone. Barbara's home is easy to do, but the problem is that FXXK's was scheduled to have an engagement ceremony on February 28th, and McPace Jr. in Hell's Kitchen. β
"......" Edward really sympathized with the other party, this time his point was too receptive.
Hell's Kitchen is a New York neighborhood located on Manhattan Island, with 34th Street to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west.
It is said that a certain gentleman of high class once cursed the inhabitants of this neighborhood "so filthy and savage that they are not even qualified to go to hell and wipe down their kitchens." β
It is also believed that the name originally referred to a building with extremely bad properties in the area, but gradually spread and became synonymous with the entire area.
There is also an explanation that there was originally a German restaurant called Hell's Kitchen here, and from a gastronomic point of view, the name of the German restaurant is appropriate, after all, the whole world is recognized that Germans are the worst cooks even in hell, but it is always known that this is the world of the Irish, and with the characteristics of this group of militants, even Germans are difficult to gain a foothold.
In short, just by looking at the name, you know that this is the most lawless place in all of New York.
The Irish ethnic group is poorer, and the poor do not hesitate to die, and the fighting power that bursts out during gang fights often makes "senior professionals" like Ferry also feel a deep headache, after all, it is not the twenties, and it is absolutely impossible to kill the other party with a Chicago typewriter hidden in a violin box, and if anyone dares to do this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the FBI special service team will come directly to the door with automatic rifles and shotguns to "uphold justice" and "maintain federal law and order", simply put, to kill them on the spot.
Today's underground society is much more advanced than it was back then, and violence is certainly a treasure, but it also belongs to the category of not being able to do so, and it is usually solved by intimidation and fraud or simply black and white collusion.
At least this has formed a consensus in the MAFIA (mafia) committee, but the granite head of the Irish never thinks so, and does it when it doesn't agree, and is especially good at using cold weapons to kill people, anyway, the legal system of the United States is wonderful, it is convenient to arrest people, but it is troublesome to sentence to death, and it is really a matter of throwing a scapegoat out when it can't be dragged on.
The Italians and the Irish fought for hundreds of years in the New World, and in Edward's view, they would continue to kill each other without loving each other until one side died.
Old MacPace was one of the big leaders of the Irish gang.
As long as you string things together and think about it, it's easy to explain, the Irish gangsters and the FBI and prosecutors hit it off, a trinity, everyone tacitly teamed up, ready to do down a nasty Italian mafia (mafia) family.
"Isn't this a war?" Edward was a little curious: "You Italians didn't react?" β
"It's a war, but the opponent is FXXK's FBI? Moreover, our Nizo family is a peripheral branch of the Genoves family, and they can't afford to make a big deal for the side branches, maybe they have reached an agreement with the mad dogs, and after we are killed, the Genoves family will send descendants to take over our territory. β
"Uh......"
Although Edward was a top student in law school, it was limited to the knowledge of books, which was an eye-opener this time.
"Haven't you considered using a private detective, like 'Eyes'?"
Eyes are the name given to Pinkerton Detective employees by the United States, as the company's logo is an open eye and the short slogan "We Never Sleep".
The founder's reputation for thwarting numerous assassination attempts on the president during his time as Lincoln's personal bodyguard is all the more indicative of Lincoln's prowess, which is all the more evident in his prowess, which is all the more evident in Lincoln's prowess.
The Pinkerton Detective Company has been doing a great job of helping the capitalists suppress the workers' movement or hunting down fugitives in the Wild West, and in a way they are more reassuring than the official security forces as long as they can afford to pay for them. Because the Pinkerton detectives have never had the interests of their employers in their eyes and never the law.
"Times are different...... "Ferritsch shook his head, his expression was a little bleak, quite a bit of a sense of injury, "The expansion of the police system and the FBI has made the life of 'Eyes' more and more difficult, and now their main business is security, by the way, the year before last, the word 'detective' in the company's name was also removed." β
"Now they are begging for food under the double oppression and exploitation of the police and the FBI, and their lives are not as good as ours."
"Poof......" Edward couldn't help it, choking on the Americano in his mouth into his trachea, "You...... What did you say? Oppression and exploitation? β
Hell, the other party is a genuine mafia.,Why did this kind of revolutionary vocabulary suddenly pop up.,This contrast is really a little unacceptable.,And it's not conducive to character design.γ
βοΌοΌ Well, the Black Panther Party is distributing Chairman Mao's works all over the streets, and their boss Huey is Mao's flesh and blood (iron powder), and I took a copy of it at the time, and I thought it was quite interesting after flipping through it, especially the ones about armed struggle. β
"Okay......" Edward raised his hand in surrender.
"So, let's sort out the conversation we just had."
"Your little Dami sent home a girl who was going to have an engagement ceremony the next day, but this girl didn't see anyone alive or dead."
"According to the traditional handling routine, either you have to find a private detective; Either find someone from within the justice system to keep things down; Or go directly to Niu'er's family to 'convince' them to understand. β
"But now it seems that not only have all three roads been blocked by the FBI, but they also have a lot of appetite and want to take this opportunity to sweep you and your 'family'?! You even want to go undercover for the Genovese family? β
"That's the case, isn't it?"
"You're absolutely right!" Fetcher replied.
"It's a bottomless swamp...... And there are sharks and piranhas in it. Edward was speechless.
Fericher felt that sharks and piranhas would not theoretically exist in the same water, but after thinking about the series of C grades in his junior high school, he wisely put this problem behind him, anyway, everything in the world was created by God, and since God did not express his dissatisfaction at the moment, as a pious lamb under his old man's command, he didn't bother to care so much.
"So the question is, if I deal with this matter legally, what do I get out of it? The biggest problem aside, the biggest problem is that I, a small student, have to fight against the FBI. I don't want to mess with that horrible transvestite old madman (FBI Director Edgar Hoover). Also, don't talk to me about money. β
Edward said solemnly: "I think you should know that my maternal grandfather's family has always been rich in rabbis (Jewish clergy, similar to priests) of the Pollo Park Synagogue, and if I need enough help from my family and community, not to mention that I am an excellent student at Yale Law School......"
One of the advantages of crossing over is that because the people of the United States believe in the attitude of telling the truth, he can talk about interests unscrupulously when negotiating, and the other party will not be annoyed by this, but will express appreciation because of his outspokenness, from this point of view, it is natural that countless business giants can be born in the United States.
Sure enough, FΓ©richer didn't show any anger, but smiled lightly, looking confident, obviously he had a plan for this problem before he came.
"Friendship ......"
"......" Edward raised his eyebrows, "Is it long?" β
Ignoring the sarcastic tone in his words, Ferry repeated earnestly, "Friendship! My friendship, the friendship of our Nizo family! β
"Tell me?"
"I'm Italian, I haven't read any FXXK books, I speak vulgarly, please don't mind."
"It's always a virtue to be outspoken! Why don't you drink some coffee, the Americano here is pretty good. β
"Then I'll be blunt." FΓ©rict ignored Edward's pitch and cleared his throat.
"You and I are actually very similar, it seems that we all have a big family behind us to rely on, but in fact, we both know in our hearts that the side branch will never be as good as the main branch in terms of the amount of resources obtained, not to mention that you still have half of the Chinese blood on you, which is naturally at a disadvantage within the Jewish family that pays attention to inheritance." Fericher made a strange remark, suggesting that the Jewish family "affection" always surprised outsiders.
"Of course, I'm not questioning what you just said, in fact, as a Yale law student, you are sought after everywhere, but when your interests conflict with the family branches, things will become more troublesome, and a promising lawyer is more important than a family with a century-old heritage? This question is not difficult to answer, as long as the family elders make up their minds. β
"Believe me, Italians are straightforward, I'm older than you, and I see too many disgusting things in the family. If the Genoves family was willing to come forward, I would never have fallen into such an ugly situation, after all, Dami definitely didn't kill anyone! He is innocent, and we have absolute truth in this matter. However, FXXK's FBI bitches bullied others and didn't even give me a chance to appeal! Why? Isn't it that FXXK's 'Fat Tony' (the boss of the Genoves family) wants to take the opportunity to reach a tacit understanding with the FBI, and our Nizo family has become the scapegoat for the FXXK they threw out. β
"But delusional that this will make me bow my head and lick Hoover's asshol, bah!"
"So, I ask for your help, to help me from a legal level, knowing that the Italian is world-famous for his passion for his friends. We will do our best to help our friends! β
"Isn't it, that your passion prefers to be spent on all kinds of pretty girls?" Edward smiled, the atmosphere was a little lighter, he didn't mind making a joke.
"Aha. Isn't it right to be passionate about women? We are not the same as the Gauls, they are passionate because they want to sleep with women, we are not the same? We naturally love and respect all women. β
"Well......" said Edward, who had indeed won the sincere approval of the people of the world on this matter.
"It's an interesting case, and I'm willing to give it a try. I'll take the dossier back and study it carefully. β
"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Yang! Whether this succeeds or not, you will be my friend! Believe me, we're all side branches of our respective families, so bringing in friends and power outside the circle will do you a great deal of benefit! β
"By the way, it's $20,000." As he spoke, he handed over a briefcase and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm used to cash, and if I transfer money to you, I'm afraid of getting into big trouble." β
"It's not over yet, money ......," Edward rejected
"It's funding."
Edward was right, he couldn't handle a complicated case on his own, and then he had to hire professionals from all walks of life to deal with the problem, and he couldn't afford to run out of money, so he unceremoniously took the dark-patterned Gucci briefcase.
"Okay, then I'll go first, if you have any requirements, you can call me, the number is in the bag." Ferichet stood up.
"Well, I'll get back to you," Edward stood up to shake his hand and say goodbye.
