North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 249 A World Without Boundaries in Black and White

Ruiz: "Fxxk, it really is Andre."

Jimmy: "His name is Andre?"

Ruiz: "Well, Andre, his father is Nicholas, the boss of the crow." Ruiz took out his mobile phone, found a number and dialed.

Ruiz waited for the call to connect and said, "Abram, this is Ruiz from the FBI."

"Can Nicholas of the Raven get in touch?"

"Well, as long as you know, let me know when you contact him."

After finishing speaking, Ruiz hung up the phone, looked at the corpse in front of him and sighed.

Jimmy turned his head and took a look. No one else came into the bedroom, so he asked: "Do we need to find out who the murderer is? Six people died, so this is a big case."

Ruiz: "It depends on the development later. If it is determined that it is a civil war between gangs, it will not be on the news. They are more afraid of exposure than us."

Jimmy: "The paparazzi on the TV station don't let this kind of multi-death case go?"

Ruiz turned to look at Jimmy: "If it was a normal case, or it happened in other residential areas, it would have already been broadcast on TV by now. This is the old den of gangsters, and they know the rules."

Jimmy nodded. It seems that the media industry here in New York also has certain rules. If the gangsters are exposed, it is estimated that the TV station or the paparazzi will not be able to bear their revenge.

Ruiz turned and left the bedroom, followed by Jimmy, "By the way, don't we need to notify the family of the deceased?"

Ruiz said as he went downstairs: "I have asked other people to contact Nicholas. We really don't have direct contact with the boss of this small gang."

Jimmy: "Get in touch with someone from the other gang? Why not someone from the Crows?"

Ruiz: "It has been more than two hours since the dead person was found here. If their people could get in touch, Nicholas should have appeared by this time."

Jimmy: "Is the person you're looking for also from another gang?"

Ruiz: "Well, the people from the Trasov family, they are the largest gang in the vicinity, there should be some news."

Jimmy: "But are they trustworthy?"

Ruiz didn't answer, but took Jimmy directly to the street. "Of course it's unreliable, but it's okay to pass on news. I don't expect him to find Nicholas. What I need is for him to pass the news to their boss."

Ruiz and Jimmy came outside the cordon, and the two took out their cigarettes and smoked while waiting for news.After a while, Ruiz's phone rang.

Ruiz answered the phone: "Vigo, do you know what's going on? Give me some news."

"Well, I'll wait for your news. Besides, control your people well, you don't want me to take people to seal up some places, do you?"

Ruiz hung up the phone, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and drove Jimmy away from the scene.

Jimmy: "Ruiz, tell me about the relationship with the gang here. What is the situation of the Trasov family you just mentioned? I haven't seen these materials yet. You have too many files."

Ruiz: "Well, Trasov is the biggest Russian gang here now. It has annexed two gangs of similar size before. Vigo who called just now is their boss, and Abu I contacted earlier Ram was second in command.

Their main business is the same as other gangs, underground casinos, bars, nightclubs, smuggling, drug trafficking, and they also control a considerable number of New York taxi licenses. There is no specific number yet.

The influence of the Trasov family has also expanded to certain formal businesses, such as security companies, laundry shops, car repair shops, etc. The scale of money laundering they are involved in should be very large now, but there is no clear evidence. "

Jimmy: "Shouldn't such a big gang be destroyed?"

Ruiz sighed: "Many things are not that simple. The gangsters who can become big have a lot of background. If we want to destroy them, we may overturn ourselves first. Jimmy, remember, this society is not very It's black and white, you never know who's behind the scenes."

Jimmy: "I see."

Back at Federation Square, Ruiz entered the office, and Jimmy returned to his place. The FBI’s case-handling logic here is actually very simple. Most of the repetitive work is handled by the people below, including on-site investigations, and the responsibilities of the agents. It is more about summarizing information from all parties and guessing the direction of the case based on the existing clues. There is no need to do everything yourself.

Jimmy read the information for a while, then put it down, and came outside Ruiz's office: "Ruiz, does Reina from Dixie have any clues?"

"Not yet, just wait a little longer." Ruiz looked up at Jimmy leaving the office door, feeling something was wrong, Jimmy cared too much about Reina, what happened at that time?
Ruiz looked it up on his computer, found the number for the Little Rock office, and dialed it.

Jimmy returned to his position, instead of looking at the previous materials, he dug up the materials of the Crow Gang and the Trasov family first.

There is nothing special about the Crow Gang here. It is a small gang of 30 people, with only 3 core members. The boss, Nicola, came to the United States in 1994. He built a small team based on his connections. After several years of development, he controlled two neighborhoods. , opened a small underground casino, the main customers are local gangsters and low-level personnel, and use their relationship with Tomahawk to do some small smuggling trades from Russia and Europe, no one wants to follow the small scale They competed, and the Crow Gang also had the characteristics of being a fool, whoever was the big boss around them, they would give confession to whoever.

Trasov is different. Let’s start with the rise of the Russian gang in the United States.

In the late period of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, there were a large number of Jews in the Soviet Union. In order to allow these Jews to leave the Soviet Union smoothly, the United States gave the green light to immigrants. According to the review, in addition to the Jews on the surface, many gangsters and criminals also came to the United States together.

They settled down in Brighton Beach, New York, and gradually formed the prototype of a huge gang here, but they did not have a unified group, but formed small gangs in groups of three or four, and gradually expanded. By the 90s, they had formed There are a large number of gangs, but the number of each gang does not exceed 200.For comparison, the five major Italian Mafia in New York each control no less than 2000 people.

These immigrants before the disintegration of the Soviet Union gradually formed the Native American Russian gang. Their main business was murder for hire, acting as thugs, robbery and theft, and collecting protection fees for shops.After completing the primitive accumulation through these violent means, they began to walk out of Brighton Beach and enter other areas of New York, competing with other gangs and threatening the interests of other Americans.
