Chapter 278: Two Passers-by

The Hey Hand Party is okay not because of how powerful their system is, but because the name is too boring, basically all of them from Italy can be called the Hey Hand Party.

However, the Hey-Hand Party is also divided into different factions and organizations, and the reference to the Italian "Mafia-Sicilian Hey Gang" as the "Hey-Hand Party" is not a paraphrase, but the result of false rumors when translating and reprinting Chinese reports after the mistakes of journalists in ugly countries more than a hundred years ago.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the major cities of the ugly country welcomed a large number of immigrants from southern Italy, and in New York alone there were nearly 200,000 Italians in 1900.

Of course, there are many outlaws who belong to Mafia, but before Mafia members came to the Italian community in the ugly country, a crime of extortion called "-black hand" was already prevalent here.

This type of crime originated in Italy in the eighteenth century and in the eighties of the nineteenth century in the ugly country.

Generally, criminals will use anonymous letters to make physical threats to their victims in order to extort money.

If the victim refuses to pay, the criminal will kidnap the victim and assassinate him/herself, or even set fire to her home and detonate a bomb to fulfill the threat contained in the extortion letter.

For example, they would write:

This is already the second time I have warned you. At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, you must put $300 on the corner of Third and Second Streets, or we'll light a fire and blow you up into the sky. Come to think of it, this is my last reminder to you.

Signature: "Hey Hand"

The reason why this kind of extortion crime is called "hey hands" is actually the invention of ugly journalists who report on such crimes.

In Brooklyn, where the "hey-handed" crime first emerged, the ransom letter to the victim was not signed at the time.

However, in order to create a sensational news effect, local reporters fabricated a rumor that "the extortion letter ended in black handprints" by borrowing the practice of the Spanish police at the time marking the leaders of anti-ZF groups with black handprints.

As a result, the name "Hey Hand" has spread far and wide.

Since then, the "Hey Hand" type of crime in the Italian community in major cities of the ugly country has begun to appear black handprints at the end of the extortion letters, or bullets, skeletons, tombstones and other "life-threatening" signs.

Some ransom notes simply end with ManoNera, the Italian word for "hey hand," to indicate their threatening nature.

It can be seen from the ending signs of the different types of "Hey Hand" extortion letters that this kind of crime is not unified and tightly organized, and some are even just individual crimes.

However, due to the huge mobility of people in the ugly cities, especially the blackmail targets targeted by "Hey Hand", almost all of them are newcomers and Italian compatriots who do not understand the language, it is difficult for victims to report the crime to the police station, and even if they do, the police are often helpless.

Many of the victims of the "Hey Hands" who were unable to obtain the protection of the police turned to the Mafia Hey Gang from Sicily or the Camorra Hey Gang from Naples for refuge, and some even formed their own gangs to deal with the threat of the "Hey Hands".

It is a great irony that at the beginning of the twentieth century, Italian communities in the major cities of the ugly country became battlegrounds due to the constant fighting and vendettas between various "hey-hand" criminal gangs and the Italian hey gangs.

Although there is no direct connection between the "Hey Hand" crime and the Italian Hey Gang, in the eyes of the outside world, there is not much difference between the two types of criminal organizations that are also Italians.

As a result, all kinds of vicious criminal cases such as murder, blackmail, and robbery that occurred in the Italian community were finally attributed to "black" crimes, and Italian gangs such as Mafia were also known as "-Hey Hands" or "-Hey Hands".

Although it is difficult for the public to distinguish between the criminal organization that carried out the "Hey Hand" and the real Hey Gang, the police still have a good understanding of it.

In the eyes of the police, the typical feature of the Italian gang is to stuff the victim's body into a barrel and abandon it in the wilderness.

As for the Chinese translation of the word Heyhand, it is purely a misunderstanding, originally related to a murder case carried out by the Hey Gang in Italy.

In 1909, a police officer in New York who specialized in organized crime was brutally murdered while investigating the Hey Gang in Sicily.

This international case caused a sensation around the world, and the first issue of the famous publication "Times", which was published in the late Qing Dynasty in the same year, translated the relevant reports, narrating the ins and outs of the "Hey Hand" crime and the Italian Hey Gang.

And the Times, like the foreign media, conflated the Italian Hey Gang with the "Hey Hand" and coined the name "Hey Hand Party".

This article not only provides a detailed description of the criminal process of the "Hey Hand", but also touches on the contradictions between the two major factions of the Hey Gang in Italy, Mafia in Sicily and Camorra in Naples.

At the end of the first stop, the "Hey Hand" crime gradually declined under the crackdown of the police and the "care" of the Italian Hey Gang, and the Italian community in the ugly country turned into a civil war between the two major Hey gangs in Sicily and Naples.

At the same time, the Irish Hey Gangs in the neighboring region are also eyeing the Irish Gang, who call themselves the White Hands and fight against the Italians.

Mafia gangs like Ricardo, whose activities are based on "family", are the most tightly organized, and their members have the strongest centripetal force and loyalty.

During this period, because of the sanctions imposed on the Hey Gang in Italy, many Italians came to the ugly country, and Mafia added a lot of new force.

This also leads to their strength becoming stronger and stronger, giving people a sense of déjà vu that they are everywhere.

"You all listen well, take my words to heart, everything we do now is to protect ourselves and our families, but also for better development, we are not violent elements, we do not advocate crime, we are two people with the Hey Hand Party!"

This is the first time that Li Yaoyang has made it clear to everyone openly and honestly, and he hopes that this is the first and last time.

Xiao Wu was stunned and immediately said:

"I understand, I'm sorry Brother Yang."

"There is no need to apologize, no matter how the whitewashing is done, it has to start from now on, Xiao Wu, the newspaper must nail me to death, even if we can't do the hotel or sell wine in the future, the newspaper will have to hold on!"

Compared with his other businesses, the media is undoubtedly the easiest project to pass on, unlike selling wine, which may be wiped out at any time.

Of course, now they have to solve Salvatore, and Philadelphia has to take everything he says!

The public opinion attack did not work, which is expected, and it is still the same sentence, Roy will not trip over the same pit twice.

But it's not without its benefits, at least Salvatore's taverns are closed, and those who don't want to drink alone and can't find a place to go are pouring into the riverside area, where to drink anyway?

In the middle of the night, in the bar, the lights were dim, ambiguous music was playing, and the atmosphere became charming.

Li Yaoyang sat on the booth and watched the couple on the dance floor not react to the entangled men and women, and their minds were full of one man - Roy Haines.

This is, he felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and then, warm and moist into his arms, it was Emma, a bewitching red dress that was particularly dazzling in the dark.

"What are you thinking?" She asked close to Li Yaoyang's ear.

"Thinking about something, you're done?"

"yes, I'll be with you for a while, if you need it."

"Hehe~ Who would refuse the company of a big beauty?" The big hand stretched out to the waist and grinded back and forth, and the two of them grinded their ears and temples, telling jokes that were not in the flow, but both hot men and women liked to listen to them.

"Giggle~" Emma was amused and laughed.

At this time, Xiao Er hurried from the crowd:

"Brother Yang, someone is here."

"Who is it? Roy's people? ”

"I don't know, but it's not good, and I've seen seven or eight so far."

"Ready, come as planned."

"Yes!"

The lights were lit, and many people on the dance floor were blindfolded, some with their shirts open, and some with their pants unzipped.

Without waiting for them to react, Loni shouted:

"If there is an inspection, everyone cooperates and throws the wine glass in the box in their hands."

A group of younger brothers rushed out with boxes and quickly emptied the wine on the surface.

As for the drunken guests, they were also poured bottles of white water to help him sober up, so that he would not say something that should not be said in a moment.

The guards were placed far away, giving them plenty of time to prepare, which was also the experience they had accumulated over the years of experimentation.

No matter where you open a tavern, there must be high points around!

When everyone was almost ready, the music began to play again, but this time the lights were not turned off, and the consumers and young ladies danced vegetarian dances.

Strangers barged in, and what they saw was a dance hall that couldn't be cleaner, although the smell of alcohol still permeated the air.

The people who led the team were not Roy Haines, but they were definitely the Prohibition Commissioners, and they had a smell about them that made it difficult to ignore.

"Boss out!" The man scolded.

These people are not good at first sight, so naturally they don't need to give any good looks.

Loni greeted him:

"Something?"

"You're the boss?"

"I'm not!"

"Didn't you come out to bother with anything? Hurry up and get your boss out. ”

"Our boss is not someone who can meet him if he wants to, besides, didn't your superiors tell you to be polite during law enforcement? At the very least, you should introduce yourself and your position! Loni is really not polite at all, and he also adheres to Li Yaoyang's consistent attitude.

The other party took a deep breath and introduced himself:

"Vincent, Commissioner of Prohibition at the Philadelphia Office of Prohibition, we have received a report that illegal alcohol sales and drinking activities are being carried out here, and a thorough inspection of this place is needed, so please cooperate."

Loni smiled:

"Vincent, is it? Okay, we are all good citizens who abide by the law, and as for any illegal activity, it must be false accusations! ”

"Whether it's a false accusation can be found out, and also, hurry up and let your boss come out."

"It's not necessary, right? I'll just cooperate with this little thing, the boss is very busy, and I don't have time to see you. ”

Vincentra's lower face:

"It's not a discussion, it's a notice, no matter where he is, even if it's in the North Pole, he has to come back to me now."

"I'm sorry, I can't reach him when he's at the North Pole."

Poof~ Xiao Er laughed out loud from afar, I couldn't help it, I had a level of words.

"What are you laughing at? That's right, that's you, come here! Vincent pointed to Xiao Er.

"Me? Officer, I didn't make a mistake, do you care how others laugh? ”

His 'provocation' made the audience laugh out loud, after all, it could make the Prohibition Commissioner deflated, what could be funnier than that?

"Shut up, everyone stands still and is inspected, and whoever dares to move will be dealt with as illegal."

It's good now, no one is silent.

Vincent's men began to work, and Xiao Er and Loni came to check in person.

"You guys, you've drunk."

"Officer, the prohibition is only for selling alcohol, but it doesn't stop drinking, it's not illegal for us to drink in our own house, right? And only took one sip. ”

"Hehe, do you know the rules very well? But here I have the final say, I say that if you drink, you will drink, and I will say that you have overdosed, that is, you have overdosed, go over there and stand, and come with us in a while! ”

Lonnie has a gloomy face:

"Officer, this is not in order."

"It's not in order, but you're biting me?"

Damn, is this police officer a little scumbag?

I checked the whole bar, and the wine was definitely not found, but there were a lot of people taking it away.

After they all left, the bar was much deserted, Li Yaoyang came out of the shadows, and Emma followed with a worried face:

"What should I do?"

"I'll call and you pacify the rest of the people and send them away, it's closed tonight."

"Good~"

At this time, the benefits of knowing a lawyer are reflected, the only problem is that it is the second half of the night, and Hendry does not know whether he has slept or not.

The operator told him to wait, and it took a while for the phone to be connected.

"Hello, this is Hendry."

"It's me, Lee!"

“lee? How did you? ”

"It's inconvenient to say much here, hurry up to my bar, something needs your help."

"Oh, okay, wait, I'll go."

Hengdeli's attitude towards large customers is still commendable, at least this on-call service concept, ordinary people do not have.

It only took half an hour for Hendry to arrive in a hurry, and even in such a hurry, he still maintained an elite demeanor, with a meticulous comb of small oily hair and no wrinkles in his suit.

"Lee, I hope your case doesn't let me down." He yawned.

"Why do you think you're expecting me to die?"

"Ha, it doesn't have to be a life lawsuit, as long as it's sensational enough."

"Okay, then you may be disappointed, but don't worry, I won't discredit you with money."

Hendry was easily content, and immediately nodded:

"Okay, let's talk, what's the matter?"

As soon as Li Yaoyang introduced him, Hendry frowned:

"What's the other party's name?"

"Vincent!" Li Yaoyang repeated.

"Damn, it's this bastard again."

"What's wrong? This guy likes to find trouble the most, relying on his own power, doing anything ridiculous, he didn't get into trouble before, but he didn't change it repeatedly! ”

"Uh~ So, don't tell me there's no way."

"Hey~ Others can't help it, I can't do without, who am I? Hendry, the best lawyer in the whole ugly, there is no one! ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
