The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 508 Scavenger (ask for collection, please recommend, ask for monthly pass) The first update asks for a monthly pass! ! !

The efficiency of Xiaogu and Dr. Smith was really high. It didn’t take three days at all. They deduced the origin of the bullet through the bullet marks on the bones. At the same time, through the comparison of the bullet marks, the police found the person who fired the bullet in less than three hours. firearms.

As expected, it was a black gun.

As we all know, guns are not banned in the United States.But not being able to control guns does not mean that the government really does not care. In fact, most of the guns on the market are registered at the police station.It's easy to use ballistics detection to find out who owns a gun.So in order to avoid this situation, gangsters use guns differently from ordinary people.They used black guns.

These black guns are not recorded in any official records.Most of these guns are obtained through smuggling or other illegal means.People shot by this kind of gun can't find the murder weapon at all. Without the murder weapon, it is naturally impossible to make effective charges.This is also the wisdom generated from the battle of wits and courage between gangsters and the police.

This has also led to the fact that those black guns in the police files are often responsible for several or even dozens of murders.

"What do you want to say?" Kai threw the report handed over by the laboratory to everyone, let them look at it, and then brainstormed.

Chap flipped through the documents with a sullen face. The reason why he did this was also very simple, because the command failed last time and he was punished.Chapp was demoted.Chapp should have gotten used to this sort of thing.Chap has been a policeman for so many years, and he doesn't know how many times he has gone up and down like this.But Chap just couldn't get used to it.He felt that he was not wrong, why should he be so weak to criminals?

Of course, this time, he had nothing to say. After all, he was still a brother, so there was nothing wrong with being demoted.

However, the demotion was a demotion, but Kay did not deprive Chap of his position in the serious crimes team, and still let him lead his original team.After all, a veteran police detective like him is what every police station needs.Don't underestimate this kind of people. They often have a lot of news sources in both black and white, which is of great significance to crack down on gangsters' illegal activities.After all, you can't let a person who looks like a policeman go to the gangsters to ask for information.

Although Chap was in a bad mood, he hadn't yet vented his work. In fact, this ruffian-looking guy had a strong sense of responsibility in his heart, and he really dared to work hard on the case.

"what?"

Kay spotted Chap's voice for the first time.

"What's wrong, Chapp?"

"These cases... I seem to have seen them somewhere?" Chap was uncertain.

Chapp was referring to the case that was caused by the same gun.

Chapp then spread out all the information and selected six cases from it.

"I have impressions of these six cases."

Chap said.

"Then?" Kay asked.

"These are not cases in our West District. After I came back from undercover, I have never left the West District Police Station, so if I am familiar with cases in other police stations, it must be the case I encountered during my undercover period. Look at the above time, completely Right on."

Kay picked up a file.

"The case more than ten years ago?" Kai felt that the time span was a bit too long.

But Chap said disdainfully: "Boss, who do you think those gangsters are? They don't spend a lot of money to equip the younger brother with the best weapons, and gangsters also pay attention to cost control. In fact, old guns like this are used among gangsters. China is the norm. Because those old guns are not only cheap, but also not easy to track."

"Then what do you know?"

"'Scavenger'. I only know the code name of that guy. I don't know who he is. He is not a member of the gang, but an 'outsourced' businessman who specializes in doing things for the gang. The gang pays money. He They are responsible for making the targets of gangsters disappear, which is a bit similar to professional killers, but unlike ordinary professional killers, they will only serve fixed clients."

"Then who does he serve?"

"Italian!"

……

Chap doesn't look like a Latin American, but the gang he undercovered back then wasn't a Latin American gang, he was undercover in an Italian mafia.

Don't think that the Italian Mafia only recruits Italians. In fact, the organizational structure of the Italian Mafia is more advanced than many people imagine.

The Mafia is a secret society organization that originated in Italy.The base is in Sicily. In the 18th century, Europe set off a wave of immigration to the Americas. Mafia people flocked to the United States, took root in New York, and moved around the United States, manipulating the American gambling industry, sex industry, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and professional crimes such as kidnapping. , murder, robbery, etc.There are various gangs within the mafia, and the leader implements family-style rule over the gangs.

Mafia families have inherited the traditional minority elitism. Therefore, a large family has about 100-200 members, and generally 50-60 members, but almost has more than a multiple of 'partners'.

Generally, official members of Mafia families are of Italian descent.

Each family is basically controlled by a "boss (boss) or Don (the honorific name for the duke or nobleman in Spanish, or "Your Excellency")", and the specific actions of the boss and the family are separated by layers of cronies. The boss can appoint a consultant (Consigliere) in the family. Therefore, according to the latest version, the closest and most trusted family member of the boss is called the Consigliere ("legal advisor" in Italian). In fact, the legal advisor is similar to the one responsible for mediating the family The "listening officer" of internal disputes may also serve as the guard of the "second boss". His main task is to 'legitimize' all specific actions of the family. , he is regarded as the "commander-in-chief" in charge of all legion commanders, he only obeys the boss; if the boss goes to prison or seeks medical treatment, they must act as the boss's agent (surrogate boss).

And those non-Italian members are called partners. Often an Italian mafia has several times more partners. They are also part of the family, but they are not eligible for promotion in the family system. That is to say, a mafia No matter how good the party partner is, he is still only a partner, and he will never become a 'Tang'.

Chapp had been undercover as a partner in the Italian Mafia in Los Angeles.

Because it is very difficult to undercover the Italian Mafia with family members.Especially those traditional mafia.Those mafia gangs that follow Italian traditions are very strict about recruiting family members, and there are also behaviors like "voting a certificate" among them. Forget it, you must be a Sicilian to be possible.Even if you were not born in Sicily, you must have 'pure' blood.

Among them, Chap's undercover mafia is such a veteran mafia that has been active in Los Angeles since the 30s-the Delana family.

In 1931, Jack Delana took over the gang he belonged to and became the boss. Afterwards, the gangster relied on the advantage of having Hollywood, the world's most famous film and television center in the world, and developed his family into the entire west coast of the United States in one fell swoop. The largest mafia organization.

The Delana family did not actually control many entertainment industry unions, but they actively participated in the entertainment industry as investors, expanding a large source of income for the American Mafia after Prohibition.In addition, as the underground masters of Los Angeles, they quickly occupied the illegal gambling industry in Los Angeles. Many former Los Angeles gambling talents later hid in Las Vegas, which played a vital role in the Las Vegas gambling talent reserve. role.As the mafia family closest to Las Vegas, the public domain of the mafia, the Delana family was also the main guard force of the American Mafia in Las Vegas in the early days.

In modern times, due to the joint suppression of the FBI and the Los Angeles police, the Delana family has no longer returned to the grand occasion of drug tyrants in Los Angeles.It was against this background that Chap was sent undercover to the Delana family.In fact, judging from the current situation, it is not too surprising that the Delana family has become a second-rate gang in Los Angeles.

But as a veteran mafia, his influence is still huge.Their industries are still spread all over Los Angeles.

For example, the restaurant in front of Kai and Chap now.

Sbarro restaurant.

This is an old Italian restaurant, established in 1901, more than 100 years now.The restaurant was even rated as a Michelin three-star restaurant at one time, but its rating was canceled because of its underworld background exposure.

Everyone on the road knows that the boss of the Delana family, Maligio, eats here every Saturday afternoon.

Chap naturally knew that, in fact, more than ten years ago, Maligio would bring him here for dinner.

When Kay walked in with Chap, there was no one in the restaurant. In fact, every Saturday, Sbarro's restaurant was closed to serve Maligio alone.So when the two of them came in, except for a table in the back of the restaurant where Maligio was eating alone, there were only a few big men in suits sitting sparsely around the restaurant, just guarding several entrances and exits of the restaurant and windows.

Seeing someone coming in, those big men in suits stood up and put their hands into their suits.

Chap immediately raised his hand, indicating that he was not malicious.

At this time, a waiter stood up.

"Sorry, sir. The store is closed today."

Kai is much more casual, and these few pieces of material are not in his eyes.

"I'm not here to eat, I'm here to find someone."

The waiter still wore a fake smile: "I'm sorry, this is a private place, please leave."

At this moment, the man who was dining at the table in the back of the restaurant stopped the waiter: "Gambiro, let them in. It is very rude to let the boss of the West End Serious Crime Unit stand at the door."

Hearing the man's words, the expressions of the other people in the restaurant changed drastically.

If in the 70s and [-]s, the Delana family was not afraid of anyone, not to mention a police officer from the West End Crime Unit, even the chief of police would be the same.Looking at modern society, gangsters are not afraid of the absolute minority of the police, after all, it is no longer a barbaric era.

Kay smiled at the waiter who stood in his way, took a ten-dollar bill from his pocket, and handed it to him.

"Tip, no thanks."

Then he walked carelessly into the depths of the restaurant.

Maligio is a 60-year-old man. He is not tall or strong. On the contrary, he is thin and handsome. He has gray-white hair and looks gentle. He does not look like a gangster at all, but like a university professor.

"Please sit down." Maligio glanced at Chap, then turned a blind eye to him, and said directly to Kai.

Chap felt awkward when Maligio glanced at him.Did not take the initiative to say hello.

Kay heard that Chap was very appreciated by the boss back then, and even wanted him to join the family as a member of the family and become the second boss, even though Chap was not Italian.From this, we can see how glorious and trusted Chap was back then.

It's a pity that, by God's will, Chap is a policeman, and he is a very principled policeman.

When the police station closed the net, Chap testified against Maligio. Although Maligio had a good lawyer, he still spent six years in prison.

At that time, Maligio was regarded as the hope of the revival of the Delana family. As a result, Chapu made such a move, let alone revival, and the power shrank a lot.If it weren't for the fact that Maligio was really capable and stabilized the situation after he was released from prison, the Delana family would probably be a low-level gangster now.

"Thank you." A gangster is so polite, so Kai can't be too rough.Criminals are more qualified than the police, what do you call it?

"I don't know why Officer Kai is looking for me? I don't remember any illegal acts. I'm a good citizen." Maligio wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked at Kai seriously.

Kai didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated his purpose: "I want to get information about someone from you."

Maligio looked at Kai and laughed.

"As much as I want to help you, I'm sorry, but I'm a good person."

Kai suddenly didn't know where to start complaining, this dialogue...is too familiar.

"Maligio, I don't want to play charades with you. I didn't come to trouble you. I just want a name. Tell me who the scavenger is, and I'll leave right away." Kai tried to make himself stronger.

But it didn't work.

For an old fritter like Maligio, as long as he is not caught, it is absolutely impossible for him to be honest.When he was caught by Chapu and got all the stolen goods, he only sat in prison for six years. It is conceivable what kind of virtue this guy is. If his mental quality is not good, his mentality will collapse early.

"Seven precepts: [-]. Keep your mouth shut; [-]. Organizations are higher than individuals; [-]. Don't disobey orders from superiors; [-]. Don't betray and surrender; [-]. Keep family secrets; [-]. Don't engage in kidnapping activities without authorization; Fight." After speaking, Maligio looked at Kai: "Since you know that I am a mafia, why do you still ask me this question?"

"Although the committee has fallen now, I haven't had the time to confront the committee. Our Delana family has been reconciled with the committee for many years."

The American Mafia (Italian) initially gained power in the New York area, and then gradually developed from a small-scale business to a city-wide or even international organization.Early rule by families named after five prominent members (Buiano, Colobo, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchesi), the "families" set up a "committee" of each other , as the highest arbitration unit among the "families".

In the early years, the Delana family didn't like this committee very much, and even fought with the committee, and later reconciled.Now that the Delana family has weakened, it is naturally even more impossible to disobey the rules of the committee.
