In the western suburbs of Chicago, there is a tavern with a CLOSED sign on the outside, but the inside is filled with smoke.

A bartender, four big men in suits, are smoking and drinking suffocating wine.

Who knew that alcoholic was so unstoppable. Now that it's alright, let me die. As a result, our plan was delayed, and the police investigation was even stricter. It's really unfortunate. Goss, give it to me again. Here's a drink. One of the big men in a suit drank the whisky in the glass, and then cursingly put the glass on the counter.

These four strong men were the four unlucky bastards who were drunk by Tony Wendis that night, so that they didn't rob a jewelry store, and also took the blame for Josh.

It can be seen from this man's words that they really didn't think that Tony Wendis was killed by Josie's knife later. died.

It's almost there, you have already drank two bottles of my wine, this is an authentic Kentucky bourbon! The bartender named Goss rolled his eyes and did not refill the drink.

He is not only the bartender, but also the owner of the tavern. He is also an accomplice of these four guys, helping them deal with some logistical work such as buying guns, getting cars, and selling stolen goods.

Oh, come on, Goss, it's just two bottles of whisky! Hearing Goss's words, the strong man shouted dissatisfied.

It's just a good use of the word, Cody! Do you think it was two years ago? Go out and see what a bottle of whisky is worth now, two hundred bucks, that's two hundred bucks, and money can't buy it. Here! Goss muttered in dissatisfaction.

Although the era of Prohibition has long since passed, because of the war, the price of wine in the United States has soared again, and because of the military requisition, in 1943, the world has basically been unable to buy the wine brewed by serious wineries.

Even whisky imported from Ireland was expropriated.

A bottle of serious bottled whisky can be sold for at least dozens or hundreds of times.

And for something like bourbon, $200 isn't expensive at all.

Of course, there are still cheap wines. If you brew from a small workshop or farm, you can buy a bottle for ten dollars.

But people who understand wine should know that the kind of moonshine without any technology has poor taste and low degree of concentration, and there is a risk of poisoning.

Hey, it's only two hundred bucks. We robbed so many jewels before. Cody said angrily. Of course he knew that wine was expensive, but so what? What's the point of doing their business if they don't get drunk?

A lot? Yes, you guys have robbed a lot before, but how many boutiques are there? Even gold is only 18K, and platinum is very rare, that is, the quality of silver is higher, and the total value does not exceed 100,000. Not to mention that it has not been sold yet, even if it is all sold out, we will be able to get more than 20,000 yuan, thank God, how much is left after deducting other expenses such as guns and cars? Goss scolded unhappily.

That's right, the gang had robbed them three times before in Chicago.

But the three targets were just ordinary civilian-level jewelry stores.

There will be no high-end jewelry in this store.

So don't look at the amount of jewelry they grabbed, but the quality is very poor, basically belonging to the value of dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars each.

In contrast, it is the ordinary jewelry that is priced at thousands to tens of thousands of soft sister coins in jewelry stores in the 21st century.

Those who know a little about it will know that this level of jewelry, in addition to the precious metals used for jewelry itself, if there is no commercial bonus on the gems, the value is very low.

So the hundreds of pieces of jewelry that seem to be worth more than one hundred thousand dollars are actually worth four or five thousand dollars.

But this is not over yet. The sale of stolen goods will leave at least 50% of the price difference for the follow-up middlemen, and even 70% or 80% of the black ones.

Otherwise, who would take legal risks to sell the stolen goods for you?

In this way, Goss said that he could get 20,000 in the end, which is already a lot.

If the 20,000 yuan is divided among five people, each person is only 4,000 yuan... enough to buy a few bottles of whisky?

This time, the robber named Cody stopped talking. Although he was a little stunned, he also knew the truth of what Goss said.

Okay, Goss, open another bottle, it's mine! At this moment, the four men in suits were slightly smaller, but the oldest man spoke.

Seeing this man speak, Goss didn't choke anymore, nodded, and took out a bottle of his own collection from the counter again.

Hey, it's still Boss Louis! Seeing this, Cody excitedly picked up the wine and opened it, poured it on the Boss Louis who was talking just now, and then filled it up for himself.

I don't have many good wines like this. It won't be long before I can only sell bootleg wine. Seeing this, Goss shook his head and said.

Don't worry, Goss, everything will be fine. Louis took a sip with a smile, then looked at the other two. Frank, Dix, why are you so silent today, don't worry, we'll take you when the limelight passes. Do a good job.

Of course, Louis, I believe in you! Dix, the tallest in the room, said in a loud voice.

Louis... I want to quit! And finally the young man named Frank said after hesitating for a while.

As soon as he said this, the small group in the tavern could not be rectified.

Why? Frank? We're just getting started, and we're doing well. The man named Cody was a little anxious when he heard Frank's words. Are you going to betray us because of this little trouble now?

Cody, shut up! Louis stopped the shit, then turned to Frank Frank, can you tell me why?

It's Marcy, she doesn't want me to mess around like this anymore. Frank said hesitantly.

Marcy is a country girl and Frank's childhood sweetheart, his love interest.

Oh, come on, it's Marcy again, what's so good about her? Look at Fanna, when does she dare to care about me? Seeing Frank's appearance, Cody said with extreme contempt.

Cody! Louis said again, shouting.

Cody spread his hands and stopped talking.

It's okay to quit, individuals have their own choices, but what are you going to do in the future? Louis asked Frank again.

I'm going to join the army! Frank said his decision.

pretty! Cody on the other side rolled his eyes again.

Although the various propaganda of the Federation have made many young people with blood go to join the army, this definitely does not include people like Cody.

On the other hand, as the leader, Louis didn't have much opinion. The small group itself was made up on a whim, and they were all good playmates. They were not very restrictive and didn't have so many rules.

If you want to quit, there is no problem, but Frank, some things have to be said first. First, because you quit early, half of your share has to be deducted. In addition, it is absolutely not allowed to betray your brother, otherwise the consequences, You understand. Louis drank the drink from the glass.

Of course, Louis, I understand, thank you for your understanding. Frank said gratefully.

Dong Dong Dong, at this moment, the door of the tavern was knocked.

Several people in the tavern immediately became nervous when they heard the sound.

Goss motioned them to stay calm, then carefully approached the door, looked outside through the visor at the door, and then relaxed.

It's Coby! Goss said to the four people in the room.

Hearing the name, the four of them relaxed.

Coby is a well-known underground broker in this area. He helps people who are looking for jobs, helps people sell stolen goods, lends money, and also works in underground casinos and underground horse racing. He is also regarded as the number one person on the road.

Many things of Louis and the others were carried out through Coby.

Louis, someone wants to see you! Coby said to Louis after glancing at the store's environment after entering.

See me? Who? Louis asked, frowning.

Dr. Schneider, Erwin Lyndon Schneider, have you heard of it? Coby asked.

Sheet, Dr. Schneider? That Schneider in Philadelphia? Everyone else was confused, but Louis' eyes lit up.
