Chapter 47: Sheldon's Story (Part II)
A few days later, on March 8, the day Philip begged Edward, the shopkeeper quietly called him and told him to come to the shop at once, and the guy had come to buy a kitchen timer, and was haggling with the clerk, "This must be a Jew" The proprietor was very sure.
Santo immediately entered the store with his men pretending to be customers, secretly snapped a picture of Sheldon, and wrote down his license plate number.
Sheldon, of course, was not without vigilance since he was a member of a militant group, and in the days that followed, he found himself being followed, with tails behind him wherever he drove.
He also has his own way of dealing with this, he asked his friend to drive, sat in the passenger seat, took advantage of the red light parking opportunity, jumped out of the car like lightning, came to the tracker's car, raised the Nikon camera is a "click", recorded the panicked or embarrassed expressions of the people in the car, and then jumped into his car and drove away.
The matter is not over, after the photo was developed, he went directly to the police station with the photo to report the crime, claiming that he was "dangerously followed", and strongly asked for protection.
Once, he drove directly to the patrol car parked on the side of the road, and told the patrol policeman who was drinking coffee and eating doughnuts that he had offended two bandits and was now being followed by them.
Two loyal defenders of capitalism, throw away junk food and act now!
He pulled out a gun to stop the car, asked the passengers to squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, and demanded in a bad tone that Santo Pamela, who was dressed in civilian clothes, show his ID and kick him to educate him, so that the obscene Italian maifa would know the prestige of the New York police.
Santo was so angry that he roared loudly at the two colleagues: Lao Tzu can't wait to join the KGB of the Russian Communist Party now!
You two cowards will never dare to put a gun on the car where the diplomatic picture is hung! Even if there are enemies of Milican sitting inside, you don't dare!
I am ashamed of you for daring only to attack your own compatriots and peers!!
Shame! You know, even the Chinese on the border with Red Russia! They are never soft when it comes to catching KGB!
The two policemen were of Irish descent and had nothing to do with the Italians, so they ridiculed each other and said that dealing with KGB was a matter for the FBI and the CIA, and of course it had nothing to do with the New York police. This is the land of the law, and no one will encourage overreach! But as someone with a maifa heritage, it is obviously incomprehensible.
A sentence instantly exploded Santo, as a law enforcer, what he hates most is his compatriots who violate the law and discipline, if it is another race, even if it is so sarcastic by a black man, he will touch the police badge and endure it, the big deal is to go back and stuff some "material" into this Nigo's pocket, so that no one will say anything to give him an old fist, and then send it to the bureau, which is another credit.
But the opposite is Irish, Santo's eyes instantly reddened, he took out the sapper shovel from the trunk, and scolded to let the two boys on the opposite side lie down in Hell's Kitchen, his assistant is also an Italian boy, born with a good gang sense, when he saw his boss's nostrils spewing out of the air, he didn't speak, and picked up the large wrench that was claimed to be used for car repair.
The Irishman on the other side was also enthusiastic for a while, the ancestral (in fact, it was more than a hundred years) fighting genes were calling, and in the blink of an eye, one person had a baseball bat in his hand, and afterwards the two insisted that they were baseball lovers, but then they said that they leaked their mouths, they thought that the home run only meant to trick the girl into bed......
Finally, the enthusiastic citizens found out that the situation was wrong, and a 911 call, and the police who heard the news were also blinded......
And Sheldon, the culprit, hid on the second floor of the café not far away, watching it all with great joy.
In Edward's view, this is simply the best embodiment of contemporary romanticism: the thrill of worshipping one's lover and challenging authority; the pleasure of teasing the police; The attention within the group made this unhappy child from a young family feel his social value for the first time, and at the same time found that he was so powerful that he could let the big people who didn't dare to look up to him revolve around him, but there was no way at all.
Hearing this, Edward began to understand Sheldon Shayeyer a little, his previous impression of him was still in junior high school, but in the vibrant and dirty water of the United States, anyone would change.
Edward's social experience in his past life reminded him that this seemingly smooth sailing life often leads people to fall into it and make the biggest and easiest mistake in life: overestimating oneself and underestimating one's opponents.
In Chinese terms, it is: I don't know if I'm pounding or two!
The beginning of all kinds of misfortunes usually lurks here, like a crocodile floating in a pond, which looks like an inconspicuous piece of rotten wood, but when it breaks out, it is death and rolling, and there is no escape.
Probably because he had been teased too many times, Santona's traditional bad habit of doing things without thinking about the consequences began to break out, and finally once, he and his partner decided to be more direct, and they changed cars to follow Sheldon, who happened to be in the car that day, Sheldon was fluttering because of the big win a few days ago, and he didn't notice that there was a new tail behind him.
When the two of them went to the hotel to celebrate, Santo searched Shelton's Buick.
The harvest is huge!
McQueen brand timers, wires, batteries, and DuPont's flagship product, red explosives, are often used in the Midwest to dig up rocks and can be easily purchased from specialty stores without having to apply to the police.
The bombing of the Russian Cultural Office in the United States is considered to be solved!
Santo Pamela could have put these things back in the car as they were, and then went back to the police station to persuade his boss to apply for a search warrant, and then took the search permit and went to search Shelton's second-hand Buick car in a fake way.
This is the practice of rookie cops, and of course it is absolutely right.
After sending this guy to the police station, naturally there will be senior interrogation experts to pry his mouth open, and then solve the case, Santo Pamela is the first merit, and he will receive generous rewards, including but not limited to salary increases and promotions, and he is more blind to his daily collection of black money.
Santo has a lot of experience and has not been in the police force for a long time, but he is a full old bird, and on the one hand, there are countless criminal groups planted in his hands.
On the other hand, he was also well versed in some secrets in the police force, secrets that could make him more profitable, such as Sheldon, which was an excellent opportunity, a window into the internal movements of the Jewish Defense League, and instead of immediately sending this somewhat obscene guy to court, it was better to release him, like flying a kite, and the string had to be held in his own hands.
As long as you make good use of this guy, then you can exchange it for a steady stream of rewards and promotions, this is simply an ATM and a promotion machine, Santo doesn't want to just do a hammer deal, he's Italian, but who says Italians are simple-minded?
(Felice: "I was killed!") I swear, that bastard Santo is definitely not as popular as I am in front of the girls, I swear! ”)
So Santo directly put Sheldon in the bureau and locked up, and then proposed his follow-up plan to use Sheldon to the boss and Pantuo, and it was approved.
Sheldon was detained for carrying dangerous goods, the "Alliance" paid a bail to free him, and the precious second-hand Buick was impounded by the police indefinitely as important evidence of the crime.
For young people in the United States, a car is equivalent to half of their soul.
For Sheldon, it's about three-quarters or more, and the Buick is also his and Tova's "love nest", and Sheldon always likes to take her to the wilderness, and then find a place where no one is around, and then the car keeps vibrating, ranging from three minutes to thirty minutes, usually depending on whether the weather is hot or cold, as well as Sheldon's own enthusiasm and whether the previous day's bomb development work is fatigued.
But what makes Sheldon happiest is that when he looks a little weak because of his work, Tova will be very sincere in helping him pull himself together, once, twice, three times,...... Until he reached the point where he could barely step on the clutch.
Santo also grew up near Polo Park, and since he was a child, he has dealt with this group of Jews, and he can be regarded as knowing himself and his opponent, and can touch each other's mental activities.
He called Sheldon and asked him to "talk" privately, but Sheldon naturally refused, and then he realized how stupid he had been in teasing Santo Pamela, and in his opinion, the seizure of the car was clearly Santo's personal vendetta.
Santo showed the Italian on the phone that he had always been cheerful and straightforward, and hinted that he could help him get the car back, provided he met Sheldon himself.
The naïve Sheldon believed the other party.
During the meeting in the field, Santo directly asked Sheldon to be his informant, of course the latter would not agree, Santo changed his bluntness and good temper on the phone, and took out a sapper shovel from the trunk of his car, Sheldon felt that the situation was not good, and was still trying to ease the atmosphere, "Are you going to plant trees for the Jews?" ”
Santo held the sapper shovel in his hand and slashed at Sheldon a few times: "Damn, last time there were two bombs, and one of them exploded 40 yards away from me!" You almost blew up my director, you bastard!! Do you know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into? You Jewish coward! ”
Sheldon's pale face denied it.
Santo swung the sapper shovel even harder, even aiming the jagged side of the shovel at his throat.
"Tell me everything you know, or I'll pull this thing around your neck or slash it directly into your head, believe me just need to do it, and you'll be fxxk-finished." Then dig a pit and bury you, don't worry, I've dealt with several drug dealers like this! This is a black area, and no real estate will come to buy land, so it doesn't matter if there is, it is common to dig up a corpse once in a while, and no one cares! In fact, no one in Harlem dares to buy land, and they all know that bulldozers will dig up something if they don't know it?! ”
"Don't worry, no one will know!" Santo smiled and approached Sheldon, the Italian had long been known in the community, and Sheldon immediately weakened.
But he also has his own insistence: never betray his "comrades-in-arms".
Santo thought for a moment, pretending to be moved by his words and lowering his posture, saying that he respected the other party's persistence, and was moved by this virtue, he himself did not want to arrest these "heroes" and put them in prison, but as a police officer, he had the right and duty to maintain local law and order. And as an Italian, he didn't have a good impression of Red Russia either.
So he in turn "asked" Sheldon to help him for the sake of everyone who has been neighbors for many years, and everyone could cooperate and complement each other and fulfill each other.
Santo proposed a cooperation agreement between the two parties, to be precise, on the following terms: first, the authorities would indict Sheldon for the perpetrator of the bombing and sentence him to life imprisonment, and the available evidence would allow him to be convicted without a confession, and his brother would be arrested because the Buick was registered in the latter's name, and Santo would try to drop the charge and promise not to harass his brother.
