"I can't talk about it, it's just that your performance makes me feel a little abnormal." Edward spread his hands, and there was no need to be pretentious.

"It's too innocent. Of course, this kind of person is not nothing, so I also suspected that I was thinking too much, but when I came here, I understood. You live in a group, a big family living together, everyone knows you so well, and you are very open to contact with them, which means that you know each other very well. I really can't understand how you lived in such an environment until you were in your twenties, or like a white lotus. ”

"White Lotus?" Dami was curious.

"Contextually, it shouldn't be difficult to guess with your intelligence."

"Well, you're right." It's the turn of the rice stall to "I want to deliberately keep a distance from the family, which is also formulated by the old guy, including me going to study business, it is all a planned thing, the family must develop, can no longer take the old road, the new generation must have a decent identity, as a representative, so that the family can continue to develop, the times are changing, we must also change." ”

"Actually, I've been doing well before. It's just that this time something went wrong. After Barbara's incident, someone came to the door the next day, and when I found out that she and McPers were engaged, it didn't feel good. ”

Edward continued to ask, "Then why did someone pretend to be her and call Fan Sen's office?" ”

Dami was helpless: "She told me that she was in a bit of financial trouble with her fiancé, but she didn't say who. It wasn't until the next day that I realized that I might be in big trouble, but I didn't expect her to be murdered. Out of an abundance of caution, I called a senior classmate to ask him to come up with some ideas, and he helped me find a woman with similar looks and asked her to show up and make a phone call and leave a clue, and I thought that after the police got this clue, I would be able to get out of trouble. As a result, I was too naïve. ”

"That classmate of yours is very good, although this is a pretty bad idea, and it will be even more detrimental to you if it is exposed. But being able to come up with it in a short period of time is also considered to be a flexible brain. It's no wonder to get into the Wharton School of Penn. What's his name? What does the family do? ”

"It's Donnadak Planck."

"Planck? What is the relationship with that master of quantum mechanics? Also German? ”

"I don't know. It's true that he's German, but I think it doesn't matter. His dad is a real estate agent in New York, and he went to work in his company after graduating this year, and he valued me very much and asked me to go to him directly after graduation. ”

"Sounds good."

"So, who killed Barbara to the lowest? Is it really McPace Jr.? Dami asked

Edward leaned against the wall and said lazily, "I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." It has never been my responsibility to pursue the truth, and I am not guilty of taking unnecessary risks and paying unnecessary costs, including psychological costs. ”

"As a reserve lawyer, how to help my client get away with his guilt is what I am most concerned about. I'm sad that Barbara is dead. But that's about it. I'm not Perry Mason after all. And I suggest you watch this thing less, it's toxic. Or rather, our ruling class. ”

Dami interrupted, "The ruling class? ”

"Well, you really should go to the Black Panthers' territory, and those pamphlets are much more reliable than Machiavelli's. In short, you can understand that the people at the highest level in our country. Perry Mason is a phantom that they have consciously or unintentionally created, making most people think that this is an achievable or achievable goal, thereby reducing the level of dissatisfaction. That's roughly it, further down, first, you don't understand, second, the FBI may have to take care of it, and third, the starting point is not allowed. ”

"What is the starting point? Sounds like an evil gang? Dami was curious

"I don't know why I say that? But I think your idea should be reliable. ”

"It seems that I will look less in the future, I really thought that the law could give me a clean slate." Dammy smiled wryly, after all, he was only a kid in his early 20s.

"I'm part of the law in court, Chris, Kabamazepin. Even when Fetcher said in front of the courthouse that sticking a baseball bat into someone's ass was part of the law. So, you're not wrong. ”

Edward patted the other man on the shoulder, "Wouldn't it be better, my boy!" ”

"Just ......"

"It's just that it's not the way you thought it to, is it? So, watch less of that soap opera. This thing will significantly lower your IQ. Speaking of which, your brother should be a loyal viewer. ”

"It doesn't seem good that you evaluate his own brother like this in front of his younger brother, and that he is an older brother who will do whatever it takes to save his younger brother."

"To tell you the truth, I like Friche, really. So you'll have to help him a little bit from now on, because if he continues like this, sooner or later he'll be floating in the Hudson River one morning. "Edward spreads his hands" I'm telling the truth, and it's not a bad thing to have a straight-hearted man as a friend in life once in a while. ”

"Well, I think I'll help him when I get the chance, he's my brother after all. By the way, aren't you curious about my relationship with Barbara? ”

"It's my business," Edward replied in Chinese, "that's your business, I don't even bother to care about her life or death." ”

"On the callous side, you're a qualified lawyer."

"Thank you for the compliment, you are not bad in this regard, you will be a good emotionless capitalist in the future, hey, forget it, you understand it as a banker, or to put it bluntly, a vampire on Wall Street!"

"I hope what you say comes true." Dami laughed again.

"Thank you," he said, holding out his hand to Edward.

"You're welcome, I'll take the money."

"Hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together in the future, I like smart people."

"Me too."

"By the way," Edward suddenly asked, "what are you going to do in the future?" Don't tell me you're really going to work for that golden retriever's company for the rest of your life. ”

"Golden Retriever?" Dami was stunned, "I remember not telling you about Donnadak's hair color, right?" Do you know him? ”

"I don't know," Edward himself wondered, "I don't know why, my gut instinct is that he should be a golden retriever, tall, junk food and arrogant, claiming to know everything, just open and shut his mouth; No one knows xxxx better than I do."

"Hehe, you're right," Dami scratched his head, "so you really haven't seen him?" So how do you know so clearly? ”

"I said that the mysterious Oriental witchcraft was calculated, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it", Dami shook his head, but quickly put the question behind him.

"My future, although the boss did not say it, should go a little farther than Ferichie in the future, and I will most likely become the nominal leader of the family."

"Nominally?" Edward asked

"Yes. You must know that in recent years, the FBI has begun to attack the 'family', and the five major families have already had countermeasures to support a boss on the surface, who has an excellent image and a clean net worth, and is completely legal on the surface, and all legal businesses are handed over to him to control, but he has no power to arrange personnel and cannot control the gunman. ”

"So, this is tantamount to putting a camouflage shield on the real boss?"

"Yes, and the surface boss or the acting boss can also be two, three, or two or three floors, in short, we have to live."

"So, do you want to be the boss or not?" Edward asked

"Boss? Absolutely! However, I did not have any success. ”

"Battle exploits?"

"It's just that he hasn't made great contributions to the family, such as killing the big people in the opposite family, or grabbing a piece of land to come down, or developing a new source of wealth. However, according to family practice, it is usually more inclined to kill several people. Secondly, I am a side branch, and the boss has his own son and grandson. So, it wasn't my turn. How can the Russian joke come about: 'Can the general's son become a marshal?' No, because marshals have sons,' and this is true in the family. ”

"So......" Edward touched his chin and muttered for a moment, "but you still want to be, and you have a strong desire?" ”

Dami is smart and even a little cunning, and he is not sophisticated enough to do things, but this is a matter of age, I believe that he will become a character in a few years, such a person is naturally ambitious, and the ambition of a smart person is the greatest wealth.

"Of course, there are hundreds of people under him, and money and power come from this, who wouldn't want to?"

"I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"

"You say."

"Stan Gordon. Special Agent in charge of the FBI. Your case was first done by him, and then it was handed over to the NYPD. ”

"What do you mean!" Dami's eyebrows furrowed.

"Go find him!"

"You're making me a traitor to the family?! And you took the initiative to go to the FBI!?" Dammy's face changed abruptly.

Edward could understand what Dami was thinking, and judging from what he had just said, it was not so much that he minded being a "traitor"

, more of a fear of the FBI.

This made Edward unable to understand, although the FBI is the national police of the United States, and it belongs to the kind of people who control the sky and the air, but compared with their Russian counterparts, it should be pretty good, as long as they are not black, there is not much of a problem.

Of course, even if you are black, the occasional smashing and looting will not attract the attention of His Excellency Hoover, and if you have a clear political program like the Black Panther Party, and turn ordinary street protests and looting into the signs of revolution in the country, then ask for more blessings.

Dami is also a little overly worried, which is understandable, after all, he is the one who has been warned by the FBI.

But Edward pondered: The FBI warning has an egg, Lao Tzu has directly warned the FBI countless times, and then resolutely clicked the play button, isn't this still alive?

"It's not a traitor, think about it, this time you have an accident, your big backer 'Fat Tony' has no intention of helping at all, and Fericher also understands that they want to take the opportunity to eat your territory. Since the original backer can no longer be counted on, and even wants you to die, then why not find a new backer. ”

"But, but that's the FBI!"

"Yes, but you're also a citizen of the United States, and you don't have any problem finding them."

"And then?" Dami asked

"Cooperate with each other, you sell some people in the family, such as the guy who doesn't deal with Ferritsch, or the son and grandson of old Nizo, in exchange for the other party's trust, and Stan Gordon or his boss can give you corresponding benefits, such as giving you a blow before a major operation, so that you can not only run away, but also easily trick the enemy into a trap, such as the soldiers and hornheads of 'Fat Tony'. After working together like this for a while, your power in the family will gradually increase, enough to provide Fetcher with the backing to take him to the throne. At the same time, it can also weaken the power of Genoves and even the other four families. ”

"So, I'm going to have to go through a long time?"

"You're still young." Edward laughed, "So impatient? The five major families have been working silently since the last century, and then they have today's position. ”

"Then why did the FBI support me?"

"Control! Five lawless families that are not controlled by the FBI, and a large family with many handles in their hands, do you think they will choose which one? ”

"You mean, eventually I'll replace the Five Families?"

"It's not necessarily right, but I think I can try." Edward smiled

"And what benefits do you want?" Dami looked at him warily.

"Me? Friendship bar. This was the reason that Felicher convinced me at the time. ”

"Friendship?" Dami looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, you obviously saw the case clearly, and the matter was eventually settled on the table of the courtroom, but more of the action was spent under the table outside the courtroom. The former is where I will work in the future, and you may become a member of high society, but if you have the underground power in your hands, it will be much easier to deal with problems. ”

"What's more, you always have to have a legal advisor by your side when you study finance. Look at the city, so bustling and full of opportunities. Aren't you impressed? Just want to be a surrogate boss for the rest of your life, and then be thrown out as a scapegoat one night, sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole, and finally die in a prison cell? Or was you hit by a gunman who burst into your head while you were having dinner? Think about it, how many of your predecessors died well? ”

"Let me think again." Dami was a little overwhelmed.

After all, the mafia, like any illegal secret organization, has strict rules, especially the way it deals with betrayers is surprisingly consistent and physically eliminated all over the world.

Dami has been educated since he was a child and is loyal to his boss and family, and now he is a second or fifth boy, and he is indeed a bit of a strongman.

"Don't worry, think about it, inform me, let's go see Stan Gordon together, at this time there is a person who is proficient in law to accompany you, and it is also pressure on the other party."

"Besides, this lawyer has just won over this 'Lady Mary' subordinate," Dami laughed.

Edward was noncommittal.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do in the future?" Dami suddenly asked, "Don't tell me, you just want to go to a big law firm quietly after graduation, and then become a dividend partner all the way." ”

"This ......" Edward was a little worried, in fact, he had thought so in the first place.

But the other party will definitely not believe it, and after this case, some thoughts are about to move in his heart, and he is about to break the ground now.

"Originally, I wanted to seek stability, but Solomon's mysterious political background almost changed the course of the case, so I wondered if I should go into politics. But I still haven't thought about it. ”

"Politics, oh my God. You are well versed in the law, if you are in politics! Dami pretended to be surprised

"Heaven and earth are not afraid, they are afraid of political hooligans and culture." Edward's colloquial words blurted out.

After he finished interpreting and explaining, Dami suddenly said half-truthfully: "Politicians are ruthless, if you are in politics, will you kill me first?" ”

"Huh?" Edward smiled, "If there really is such a day, why would I kill a successful businessman who graduated from Wharton?" This law-abiding, philanthropist, and devout businessman enjoys great prestige in his community and friendships with many business tycoons. I think I'll be able to use my legal strengths and form an ally with this businessman. ”

"After all, we used to squat in a trench," Dami added

……

"FXXK, you don't know, Edward is too powerful in court today, and so is Kasamazepin, I can't see that you don't usually say a word from FXXK, FXXK is really explosive today...... Hehe, the meatballs with garlic sauce have been robbed, I have to save some for Edward, and I promised him to let him try the best Italian food in Fxxk. Outside the window came Ferriche's words

Edward smiled, "Let's go down, by the way, do you have chopsticks here?" ”

"It's better not to, or Fericher will really duel you, and the fact that you eat Hawaiian pizza with chopsticks makes his eyes red. Said more than once in front of me. ”

"Uh...... I apologize, but Fetcher was good-tempered, otherwise he might have thrown me straight into the street. Edward spread his hands

"Ahem, as an Italian, I also want to make a difference, although I and Fericher disagree in many ways, the inventors of Americano and Hawaiian pizza should be burned at the stake, we are completely on the same point, really!" Dami is honest and creepy.

“…… I kind of understand why there are religious wars...... Geographically, the Vatican also belongs to Italy...... Consider that they have been spreading their teachings to the world for centuries, O my God! The history of mankind is truly helpless. ”

"Your joke is really not funny at all" Dami said indifferently, and after a moment the corners of his mouth began to twitch "Damn, your sense of humor is so weird, it's like the bomb we dropped in Vietnam, and there was a delay!" ”

"Hey, that's a bad joke," Edward smugly.

The backyard is lively and lively like an old-fashioned vegetable market, with a large long dining table in the middle, no tablecloth, revealing the original color of the wood, and a dazzling array of delicious food on it, a group of noisy Italians regardless of age or standing or sitting, chatting while tasting food and coffee, making Edward feel that if there is a note on the pillar next to him "Don't talk about state affairs", this is simply a teahouse in old Beijing.

Soon his attention was attracted by the news broadcast on the TV in the corner, "This is FAKE NEWS breaking news, just now, the Crisp Lian Cultural Agency in the United States on Long Island received a call that the bomb had been planted, and the Crisp side immediately called 911 to call the police, and the New York City Police Department bomb disposal team immediately rushed to the scene and found two bombs, after the first one was safely removed, the second exploded suddenly, fortunately there were no casualties. ”

"Aha?" Dami also froze, "Is this New York or Saigon?" ”

"Judging by the fact that the victims are Russians, I suspect that at the moment we are in Prague...... After all, it's only been 2 months since the tank entered the city center......"

The big news didn't affect the Nizzo family's dinner together, and these optimistic Italians are still talking about how salty the meatballs seem to be a little salty today, and complaining that the United States can't buy good salami......
