North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 264 Holiday (Weekend plus update)
Jimmy had a night's rest, and after getting up in the morning to wash, he changed into casual clothes and went out for a walk.Jimmy had read the FBI files before, and several major gangster gathering places in Manhattan were marked. It was very dangerous to go out at night, but it was much better during the day.

After years of black and white struggles, at the beginning of the 21st century, New York’s underground world has become more and more standardized. For ordinary people, as long as they don’t go to some special places during the day, their basic safety can still be guaranteed. Most of the underground world is honest during the day. Just stay there and come out for activities at night.

In the cases in New York, most of the vicious cases such as shootings, burglary, robbery, rape, and homicide occurred at night, while during the day, most of them were public security cases and disputes, such as speeding, car accidents, fights, theft, noise disturbance, etc. etc., and those involving gang activities are basically at night.

Jimmy drove to the Bowery Street, where good and bad people were mixed, and it happened to be convenient for Jimmy. He went into a mobile phone store, bought a bearer phone with cash and left.

The bearer phone I used in Little Rock has been discarded. After I came to New York, I didn’t plan to do private work, so I didn’t prepare for it. Now it seems that I still need to get one. At least I don’t need to look around for this kind of shop when I need it urgently. .

Along Little Italy, Chinatown, Midtown, Uptown, all the way to his destination, Harlem.This is the third most chaotic area in Manhattan on the surface.

The first is Clinton, which also has a name of Hell’s Kitchen, but there has already begun a major rectification. The government and police agencies have carried out a major clean-up of the gangs in the Clinton area. High-end apartments and office buildings.

The Clinton area was also an area that the FBI focused on before, but it used to deal with some gang members based on social security, and treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. Now the demolition and reconstruction plan promoted by the government involves too many big forces, large sums of money are introduced, and after strong intervention from all sides, Hell's Kitchen no longer lives up to its name.In fact, in the first ten years of the 21st century, the rate of house price and rent growth in the Clinton District was the fastest growing area in New York.

The second is Chinatown and Little Italy next to it. The history of the Italian mafia is well known, and Chinatown has been able to stand for decades. It even won Flushing in Queens and won Going down 8th Street, one of the important reasons for this is because the Chinese gangsters at that time dared to fight and fight hard, and they forcibly ate a big piece of cake in the intricate New York underworld.There are many historical stories here, and they involve Chinese gangs on the west coast, so I will talk about them later.

The third is Harlem, in the northern part of Manhattan, on the border with the Bronx, this is a traditional gathering area for blacks and Latinos. The places where these two kinds of people gather usually represent chaos and disorder. Of course, here is also One of the cheapest places in Manhattan.

Anyway, Jimmy is on vacation, and he is idle. He used to read the information to understand the situation. Now that he has time, he can drive around casually and have a look at it. It can be regarded as gaining some experience for himself. I guess after returning to work Not so much time to wander around.

As for the purchase and the house, um, the house Peter has already arranged everything to help find someone, so let’s wait for the news, don’t worry about the purchase, let’s see how much the house needs, and it will be ridiculous if the funds are insufficient by then.

The housing prices in Manhattan have risen too fast, and the prices in different areas are too different. Jimmy just took a break to go around and find out in advance.

On the one hand, I came to Harlem this time to see the situation around the work-related gang strongholds. On the other hand, I planned to start from Harlem and go south. I ran around in various areas and took a look. I thought I was familiar with the road. During the previous period They all ran with Peter and Ruiz, and didn't have a detailed understanding of the situation in each district at all.

Jimmy was driving slowly following the traffic on the road, and his eyes frequently fell on the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the road. There are obviously many people with various tattoos on their bodies, including blacks and Latinos. They seem to be here. They live in a mixed form. Unlike Chinatown where there are many Chinese, most of the Little Italy area is Italian.

It’s just that Jimmy hasn’t read enough information. He still can’t determine which gang they belong to based on tattoos like Ruiz did. It seems that after returning to work, he has to calm down and read more information. Boring, now it seems that the FBI's requirement of six months as a probationary agent is definitely a rule of thumb. If you want to read and write down all the files in a certain aspect, just one month is not enough.

Jimmy is a bit regretful. Before, he was too superficial. He thought that he would be able to understand by reading a little information. Now it seems that those materials are not memorized, at least most of them must be memorized before they can be used in practice. play a role in.

After making a big circle in Harlem and running through several major streets, Jimmy left Harlem and entered the Upper East Side. It is relatively better here, and the police force is also abnormally sufficient. The number of patrolling police cars Jimmy saw on the road Obviously much more than Harlem.

The Upper East Side is also known as the wealthy area. It was formed by the rich people who naturally gathered after the completion of Central Park in New York. In early New York, after the establishment of Central Park, it gradually developed and gathered eastward along Fifth Avenue, and finally at the end of the 19th century. The rudiment of the wealthy area was formed. During the great development of New York in the 20th century, the siphon effect of gathering was stronger. With Central Park as the core, rich and wealthy people gathered from east to west, while other people of color gathered in the periphery. , forming the later chaotic district of Harlem, Little Italy.

Jimmy looked enviously at the high-end apartments around him. Unfortunately, he definitely couldn't afford the houses here. They all start from several million dollars, and many apartments have their own apartment committees responsible for reviewing the buyer's information to ensure that they join People in these areas have enough strength and influence to artificially create barriers of isolation.

Jimmy was resting in Central Park and had lunch by the way. The long Central Park is the favorite park of New Yorkers and the most visited park in the United States. Jimmy sat on a bench under the shade of a tree and ate something he bought outside. Lunch, and a breath of fresh air, too.The main reason is that there are various smells in the air in other places, which really affect the mood. In the green area of ​​Central Park, it is relatively better.

And in Central Park, you can see all kinds of beauties at any time, some are exercising, and some are chatting with a few people. This is a good place to relax.
