Chapter 132: Strategic Retreat
The Lower East Side police station was overcrowded that day, and during the body search, Sergeant Murphyt found several gang protégés who were illegally armed and brought them back to the bureau, so that the prison for temporary prisoners was so full that everyone had to stand and there was no room to even sit down.
"You plague, rats! Shut up! Let me hear a little more noise, and I'll throw you all into the grave!" ”
The "tomb" in Murfitt's mouth is a prison located in Lower Manhattan, which is nicknamed because of its resemblance to the Egyptian funeral, which was originally demolished more than ten years ago, but because there will be gang fires and incidents in Chinatown from time to time, the relevant departments believe that the part can be demolished first, and the part can be preserved, so as to deter those gang protégés who do not obey discipline.
However, most of the gang members who were arrested at the police station could not understand English, and their cacophony only briefly subsided under Moffett's warning, and soon became noisy again, and some even pushed each other over who stepped on whom's foot, and fought in the already overcrowded prison.
"Hell! Pull those two out for me, I'm going to pick up their yellow skins! ”
A frustrated policeman squeezed to the sheriff's side while holding his hat and said, "Sheriff, the reinforcements we applied for are here!" The General Administration has transferred more than 100 people from the Upper and Central Districts of Manhattan, and we can take this opportunity to clean up these disobedient guys! ”
When Sergeant Murphy heard that reinforcements were coming, his expression was shocked, and he smiled: "Very good, let them wait in line outside, and we will immediately conduct a surprise inspection of these gang entrances!" Especially the Yonglian Society, they have been doing things very high-profile recently, so let's take them first! ”
"Yes!"
After sitting in the café for a while, Zhou Yu got up to check out and strolled through the streets of Manhattan with elegant steps.
Although there has only been a shooting homicide in Chinatown, the rest of the streets two blocks later are still bustling with people and have not been affected at all.
On Fifth Avenue, women in revealing costumes and exaggerated feathers walked by, seemingly promoting an upcoming Broadway revue, drawing applause and whistles from many men on the side of the road.
On another road not far from it, the last of the Union soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefields of World War I had returned, and the road was also lined with people shouting and cheering at the soldiers, shaking the flowers in their hands, and even some bold ladies leaned up to give a kiss on the cheek of their favorite soldier.
Zhou Yu was like a passerby, he was not interested in Broadway performances, and he was not very interested in the soldiers who had returned from World War I, and the brim of his hat was lowered through the lively streets.
Suddenly, just as he was about to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers, a man with long cheeks, glasses, and a gray suit let out a long sigh, as if to say something to himself.
"Hey...... I don't know how long this false prosperity will last? Once the carnival bubble bursts, where will New York go? Where does the federal government go from here? Where will the New World go......"
Zhou Yu was a little curious, thinking that in this atmosphere full of laughter, he would see a freak who sang down.
He looked curiously, only to see the man lower the brim of his hat and shake his head, slowly moving away from the busy street in the company of a lady, and getting into a car and leaving the place.
Zhou Yu frowned slightly, looking at the person's back, he felt that he seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He shook his head and didn't care about it for the time being, but stopped a public carriage and returned to his own Dragon Guild Mansion villa.
"Mr. Zhou, you're finally back! A few of our brothers knew that the old guy didn't have a good heart, and he could eat a fish and eat a murder, if it wasn't for the ghost showing up in time, we would all be ready to carry the guy in to save you! ”
Zhou Yu had just returned to the villa, and Hu Rentian, who had already returned in advance, all rushed over.
Zhou Yu glanced at them, motioned to close the doors and windows, and then sat on the sofa in the living room.
"This thing smells of conspiracy, and while I'm not sure what the trouble will be in the future, one thing is certain, and that is that we have to get out of it and not fall into that quagmire."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, everyone was a little confused and looked at each other.
"I'll be blunt, they're coming tomorrow, but as things stand, there's not much time left for us, and we have to act now."
"Action? Mr. Zhou, who do you say you want to do? ”
Hu Rentian licked his lips like a fighting ready to court.
"No one will do it, call Song Qing, we will go north overnight, go to Canada to open up the wine route, and stay away from the center of the whirlpool, out of sight and out of mind."
"Huh? Mr. Zhou, we ...... Is this going to run away? ”
Hu Rentian's face collapsed instantly.
"Hehehe~" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "How can it be called running away?" We've just moved our trip north a little earlier, and it's a strategic retreat at best...... Listen, everyone, I'll make arrangements now, and everyone remembers their tasks. ”
Zhou Yu's words changed, and the expressions of everyone in the living room instantly became serious.
"I'm going to go north this time and stay away from that old man Li...... Lao Hu, Ah Ghost, fortune teller, pillar, cripple, you five come with me. ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou~!"
As soon as Hu Rentian heard that he could go out, he swept away the decline at the moment, and his face was full of expectations.
"Yuan Qing, Yuan Shan, the two of you cooperate with Lawyer David to clean up the bar."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou."
"Big mouth, you and Xiaodong stay at home, what do you have to listen to him."
The big-mouthed Niu Zhixin was quite disappointed that Zhou Yu didn't take him with him, but he still agreed with an "oh".
"Lao Cai, Lao Cui, the daily maintenance of the two factories will be handed over to you, worry about more."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."
"Finally...... Lao Zhang, Bob, their training can only be entrusted to you, but fortunately, Xiucai and they should be able to arrive tomorrow, and you will take them to familiarize themselves with everything here as soon as possible. ”
"Understood."
After arranging the task for everyone, Zhou Yu glanced at his watch, clapped his hands and said, "Now move immediately, everyone who needs to set off will go and pack up the guys, and we will set off overnight!" ”
"Yes!"
Although Zhou Yu left in a hurry this time, fortunately, he had relevant plans before, and he could leave immediately.
This time, they went north to Canada not only to familiarize themselves with the transportation route of moonshine, but also to pry Liao Baihua's network over.
The bigwig of the Yonglian Association fell into the "care" of the police department for no reason, and he should not be able to take care of the moonshine business in a short time.
A few people who went north with Zhou Yu quickly packed up their salutes and stood outside the door to wait.
Zhou Yu called Song Qing to lead the way, and selected a smarter black boy from Bob's side to accompany him, because he had learned to drive a car in only two days.
When night fell in Manhattan, Zhou Yu and his party drove two cars all the way north.
