America's King of Poetry

Chapter 68 Fishing in troubled waters

"World Cup, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Marty."

Matthew left two words and a name on the note. There was no time, and the ink was already wet by the water seeping from the water tank.After reading it, Arthur crumpled up the note and threw it into the toilet to flush it down. He said it silently a few times in his heart, memorized these three phrases firmly, then washed his hands and walked out of the bathroom.

The restaurant was already in chaos, the store called the police, and the nearby patrol police arrived and took control of the scene.Arthur took advantage of the chaos and left the scene. On the night when the whole city of New York was celebrating the Knicks winning the championship, a man was killed in the restaurant.Arthur didn't know whether Matthew made an appointment to meet at this Greek restaurant in order to kill the man, or whether he suddenly received the assassination mission after the appointment.

Recently, Matthew and Arthur have had very little contact. Gandolfiel obviously smells danger, and Matthew must be extremely careful.

On the next day, Arthur found out through the news that the man who was killed was named Alexander Fernando, the youngest of the three sons of Nino Fernando, the boss of the Fernando family, and a suave son.But he is very favored by Nino, and it is said that he is the number one candidate to inherit the family business.The second-in-command of the Fernando family is Nino's eldest son, Felix. He and Alexander are half-brothers.As Nino got old and frail, the conflict between the two brothers naturally became more acute.

As a result, on the summer night when the Knicks won the championship, Alexander was shot in the head at a Greek restaurant in the early morning, accompanied by two beauties, and was killed on the spot.One has to suspect that this is the hand of his elder brother Felix, who fought against the wall in order for him to inherit the family business.From ancient times to the present, the transfer of power has always been full of blood and violence. The dispute between the elders and the younger generation exists not only in China, but also in other countries.

In the underground arena of New York, this assassination on the surface seems to indicate that a bloody storm is kicking off.In fact, many people don't know that the prelude to this big drama has been opened as early as the Good Friday two months ago, but the leading actor of this big drama has been hiding behind the scenes, making people confused, not knowing that the drama has already started.

Arthur knew that this assassination was not simply a strife within the Fernando family, but another move by Gandolfiel to stir up trouble.Under Arthur's successive "attacks", Jackie Gandolfield suffered a lot of losses, but he didn't know who was behind the trick from the beginning to the end.This was the first time this had happened, and the underground emperor became agitated, and his plans were thrown into disarray.After Montolo and Dior disappeared, Gandolfier realized that something was wrong, but he still couldn't find the clue.

From the beginning to the end, he never set his suspicious eyes on Arthur, a young man in his early twenties.He even thought about using Arthur, using his surname to disrupt and control the Luciano family.It's a pity that the forces that Jackie Gandolfiel has to face are too secretive and terrifying, far beyond his imagination.He had to launch a new plan and set his sights on the Fernando family, which ranked second in the New York area and was relatively uncontested.

The Fernando family started out as a skin and meat business, controlled the largest brothel on Spring Street, and mastered the most important prostitute resources in New York.They are also engaged in human trafficking. With the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, beautiful and tall Eastern European women were sent to the United States in batches to engage in sex trafficking.A once powerful country disappeared, their wealth was plundered, the bottom men were enslaved, and women became prostitutes.

It was almost from the 90s that a large number of fair-skinned and beautiful Eastern European women began to appear on the covers of European and American pornographic CDs. They seized market share and provided huge profits for the smugglers and pornographic giants.The Fernando family relied on this wave of dividends-they controlled at least three large adult film distribution companies, and became the second largest family in New York.

But just like rapists are despised in prison, the reputation of the Fernando family in the underground world is of course not very good.Many men are inseparable from prostitutes and pimps, but they all hate and look down on prostitutes and pimps.Therefore, the Fernando family has always been relatively low-key, and the old Nino pays attention to making a fortune in silence. No matter how the size and financial resources increase, he has always followed a stable and neutral route among the five major families.Rarely involved in violent disputes and criminal activities such as homicide, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and arms trafficking.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. As the second largest family, Fernando has a huge industry and an attractive market share. It is impossible for Fernando to "inviolate the world".The killing of Alexandria Fernando will only be the beginning.

……

"The boss of the Luciano family, Montolo, Dior, and the owner of Luciano's restaurant, Schmidt, have not been seen since June 6. June 17, the night of the finals."

With a snap, Juan slammed a magnet onto the whiteboard and stuck a photo on it—Montolo's mugshot.Then, Juan wrote "June 6" under the photo, and then stuck the photos of Dior and Schmidt behind with a magnet.

"Now the boss of the Luciano family is Silves... This is a photo I got from the anti-mafia group. After the previous boss of the Luciano family, Tony Luciano, they have changed the boss for the second time." Juan said, pasting Silves' photo on the whiteboard.

At this time, in a special office specially set up by the New York Police Department, as the person in charge, he was dealing with a series of recent homicides in New York.After the finals on June 6, the World Cup in the United States will follow.East Rutherford, New York, New Jersey hosts Group E.A large number of police forces in the New York area were mobilized to East Rutherford for security maintenance. As a result, murders occurred frequently in Manhattan and Queens.

According to the clues, these cases are all related to the Italian Mafia, and this time the team in Group E will be the Italian team.The police station concentrated the cases, mobilized a group of capable personnel, and formed a special investigation team to deal with these cases.The person in charge of the investigation team is Juan.The two murders he and Brown had previously investigated were also included in the investigation team because the dead in both cases had connections with the Mafia.

"In the early hours of June 6, at the Avra ​​Estiatorio restaurant in Manhattan, Alexandria Fernando, the youngest son of the Fernando family leader, was shot dead. There were three shots, one shot in the forehead, two shots in the chest, and he died on the spot."

Juan posted another photo of the scene where Alexandria Fernando was beaten to death. In the photo, Alexander, who was handsome and easy-going, talking and laughing with beautiful women, fell on a messy seat. There was a small red blood spot in the center of his forehead, and a big hole had actually been blown in the back of his head.

The gun is accurate and deadly.

"On June 6, in the underground high-end brothel on Chunse Street, the boss of the Bruno family, Massino Bruno, was suffocated to death with a plastic bag. The murderer was a prostitute...but this prostitute was also shot and died in the toilet of the brothel. The bodies of the two were found at the same time."

The pudgy Masino also died, on the woman's bed. The Bruno family has always been the "arsenal" of New York, but they first harvested cotton, and later began to engage in gun sales, murder, and kidnapping.He had a lot of bloody cases in his hands, and eventually became a victim of a bloody case.

Come out and mix, always have to pay back.

Also pinned to the whiteboard is a photo of Masino, with bulging eyes, a bruised face and foam oozing from the corners of his mouth.Before being killed, he took sedative drugs, so he did not resist too strongly when he was suffocated to death.

"On June 6th, at the East Rutherford Giants Stadium, after the match between Italy and Norway, the boss of the Colombo family and his three bodyguards were found dead in the car in the parking lot of the stadium. They came to watch the Italian team's match."

The World Cup in the United States is in full swing, and Italy barely qualified for the group stage with one win, one loss and one tie. For a large number of Italian immigrants in the Greater New York area, it is really a good thing to be able to watch their hometown team's football match at their doorstep.So gang bosses like Gigandi couldn't help but join in the fun.Gigandi has always been cunning, and the Colombo family is mainly engaged in various fraud and theft activities. They control the largest telecommunications and credit card fraud gangs in the United States.

As a result, facing the successive killings of Alexander and Massino, and the disappearance of Montolo and Dior, he still had the courage to come out to watch the game.I don't know if it's because I love football too much, or because I'm convinced that I'm not on the assassination list.In short, he died and was buried with three bodyguards.Looking at the photos, four people were shot to death in the car, and they walked very unsafely.

"The five major families of the mafia, except the Gandolfer family, each of them has their brains killed. Apart from them, large and small fights and disappearance cases have occurred frequently this month. All the evidence so far points to the boss of the Gandolfer family and the nominal head of the federation of the five major families, Jackie Gandolfer. But we don't even have a frontal photo of him, only a photo obtained from the FDA..."

The photos of several murders were arranged in a circle on the whiteboard, and Juan was in the center of the circle, pasting Jackie's photo—it was the one that Matthew took at the party, with Arthur in it.
