On Park Avenue on the Upper East Side, several low-profile New York Crime Squad vehicles are parked on the side of the road......

Joga and the others all put on jackets with the words NYPD on the back, and followed Danny Reagan to the neighborhood of an old-fashioned apartment.

Qiao Jia took a look at the structure of this apartment, it was obvious that it was rebuilt from an old factory in the industrial era, and even the exterior walls of the apartment still retained the appearance of red bricks, but the doors and windows of the apartment were replaced with very high-end products.

This kind of apartment has one characteristic, and that is big!

Because the internal space of the factory itself is large, and the floor height of about 4 meters is not easy to divide, the result is that the area of the apartment needs to be expanded accordingly, so as to match the height.

Such a house is not loved by the new rich in the United States, because no matter how it is rebuilt, there will always be some flaws on the inside.

But such a house is still expensive!

The reason for this is the location, which means close to New York's Central Park, and although a large number of supertall apartments built in the last two decades block out the view of the old-fashioned apartments on the east side of Park Avenue, you can't deny that it is still a prime location.

Go downstairs and walk 300 meters to the Central Park, surrounded by hospitals, schools, shopping malls and a series of supporting facilities, and the security is particularly good.

The second is that some old money in the United States is keen to invest in this kind of real estate with a bit of historical connotation, and they control the transactions of other properties in the apartment through organizations such as the property committee, and put some elites they recognize into it through screening, which can be regarded as replenishing fresh blood.

The old money has continued since the founding of the United States, and their habit of developing organizations such as secret societies and fraternities has continued.

Old money is actually a bit similar to the aristocracy of Europe, which makes some celebrities, politicians, and athletes in the United States flock to similar real estate.

Joga's target apartment is one such building, but because the surroundings are a bit blocked, the real old money content is not high, and most of the people who really spend a lot of money to buy this place are also to pretend to be forced or to keep their last shred of decency......

Joga didn't know if the 'Ladder of Light' was particularly wealthy or something else that would make the safe house inside such a luxury apartment.

In addition to spending a lot of money, this place has nothing to do with the secrecy that the killer needs, but it seems a little flamboyant.

But when Joga saw Danny's cautious look, he kind of understood the logic of the safe house.

A luxury condominium that requires luxurious property facilities and security.

The police also need to have a search warrant to enter the interior of the apartment, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

In New York, a money-based place, many property companies will drag the police to the courthouse in order to demonstrate their owner-oriented professionalism.

Most of the owners who live in this kind of old money style apartment are not fuel-efficient lamps, which is very difficult!

Seeing Danny's hesitant look, Choga frowned and said, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Danny glanced at Boss Joe and said, "It's hard to deal with people here, I'm waiting for my sister to send me a search warrant, she is the prosecutor of the New York District Attorney's Office......"

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and pressed the communicator to inquire about the 'Iceman' and 'Water Ghost' who had rushed over to monitor the neighborhood a long time ago......

Confirming that those killers were still in the apartment and had not been transferred, he nodded reassuringly, and then looked at Danny with a little amusement and said, "Your family is a little interesting, the prosecutor and the police are family, do you have any relatives for judges?"

If you have a dragon, then you can't send anyone to jail if you want to? ”

Danny listened, and annoyedly tugged at his earlobe, which was a little red and skinny, and said, "If you had seen my sister, you wouldn't have thought like this."

The Reagan family never confuses public and private......"

Joga listened and shook his head noncommittally, not breaking Danny's current problem......

Public is public and private is private, and that is when the people of their own family are not in trouble.

Of course, he can do business with other people, but when Frank has a problem, the first thing that comes to mind is his son.

Danny's so-called search warrant is probably not so reasonable and legitimate!

Joga didn't try to stimulate Danny, who was obviously very anxious, he motioned for the others not to move, and then looked around through the car window......

The bustling area, not far from the Wall Street battles, doesn't seem to have had much impact here.

The people around the target apartment behaved normally, even a little lazy, except for a tall old white male doorman, the people in and out of the apartment were slow, even those in the apartment......

Casual music played in the café, and there was no nervousness in the few unnamed boutiques, and some strangely dressed Haredi men with Bible in their hands walked leisurely in and out of a tailor's shop that looked a little old......

This is completely inconsistent with Joga's impression of a New Yorker, too laid-back!

Probably seeing Boss Joe's doubts, Danny pointed to a few Haredi people who had just come out of the tailor's shop, frowned and said, "Do you know them? ”

Qiaojia nodded and said, "Yes, Judah......

Haredians who don't work, don't serve as soldiers, and read the Bible wholeheartedly! ”

Danny sneered and shook his head, "That's in Column S, in the American Haredi people don't have that kind of privilege, they need to work too......

Guess what they do? ”

Qiao Jia frowned and looked at the dilapidated tailor's shop at the door, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "A tailor's shop can't support too many people, and if I had to guess, money laundering may be the most suitable job for the Jews." ”

Danny nodded and said, "Simple money laundering is only part of their business, they are also engaged in the business of keeping black market items and pawning them.

Of course, it's not the kind of petty theft, but antiques, securities, and precious jewelry from all over the world......

Wealthy people all over the world, because they can't smoothly convert their money into dollars and bring them out, will use the money to buy high-priced luxury goods and bring them out, and then store them with them, or pawn them directly.

The United States has a religious protection law, and the police do not have the authority to investigate these Haredis without clear evidence.

These people are troublesome!

Some of the guys living in the apartment and the declining old money are even more troublesome......"

After hearing this, Qiao Jia frowned and looked at the apartment in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he pressed the communicator and said, "'Iceman', are you sure that those killers have all entered this apartment?" ”

In a peculiarly flat tone, the 'Iceman' said, "Eight people, I don't know if they are all of the New York branch of the Bright Steps, but I am sure that eight suspicious people have entered the house on the east side of the 6th floor of this apartment.

Among the eight men was the man who shot at the rhinoceros on Wall Street, and the other was the secondary shooter who shot the killer at the time. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Jia nodded slightly and shook his head, and said, "It seems that something is wrong, but I can't say it......

Is there anything unusual about those killers? ”

The 'Iceman' was silent for a while, and then said, "They were a little agitated, but they never left the apartment on the east side of the sixth floor, they seemed to be waiting for someone......

Joga frowned and couldn't figure it out for a long time, and just as he was impatiently trying to urge Danny to call his sister, his own satellite phone rang......

Looking at the unfamiliar number on it, Qiao Jia picked up the phone with a frown and said, "This is the jackal ......"

"Hey Jackal, my name is Abel Ravenston, I want you to make a deal with you......"

When Qiao Jia heard this, he frowned and recalled, and then said with a sneer: "Abel Ravenston, the president of the New York Judah Business Association, what deal do you want to make with me?"

I'm somewhat familiar with your last name, and from what I've received from some unspeakable intelligence sources, the Ravingston family is the founders of the Ladder of Light......

I don't think we have anything to talk about, and if I were you, I'd buy a ticket and run away to the most remote corners of the world, because I'll be looking for you soon......"

Abel Ravenston on the other side of the phone was not intimidated, he paused and said, "Jackal, I am requesting a truce on behalf of the Edward Foundation......

We don't have a direct conflict of interest, and although you've done a lot of things that are hard for us to accept, the world is different now......

We shouldn't target each other because there are more opportunities in the world now!

We can sit down and talk, and it's good for both of us......"

Saying that, Ravingston paused, gave Boss Joe some time to digest, and continued: "I understand your style, if you agree to my proposal, I can inform you of the location of the New York branch killer......

It's our apology for posting a bounty on you!

You should understand that a series of actions after you came to New York have caused great trouble to the Ladder of Light......

But we are still willing to pay enough sincerity to negotiate with you! ”

After hearing this, Qiao Jia suddenly looked at the apartment not far away, and said, "You sold your elite subordinates to me for the sake of peace talks......

Dude, how do I know if you will sell me for other reasons after the peace talks? ”

Saying that, Qiao Jia pressed the car window, stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and then pushed the door and got out of the car, and said into the phone: "Mr. Ravenston, you said, you know my character, then you should run away now!"

You've caused me a lot of trouble, and I'm going to dismantle you! ”
