Sell Evil

On the roadside, an ordinary newsstand seemed inconspicuous in the crowded Chicago streets.

"Is there any news?" Asked a man in his early forties.

He was not asking the owner of the newsstand, but he was asking a chunky man who had just picked up the newspaper beside him.

The chubby man didn't answer, just turned back and winked, then took a step and walked in one direction.

Twenty-five minutes later, Frank and Arthur, the second boss of the Genovese family, sat side by side on a square bench, and each bowed their heads to feed the pigeons.

"Do you want to ask about the explosion of Beifeng Island Park yesterday evening?" Arthur first said. Although he was talking to Frank, his eyes did not touch the other party at all, and his head was aside, looking like he was concentrating on feeding. pigeon.

As a corrupt policeman, Arthur has been very sophisticated. When the policeman has been for more than 20 years, he has seen many colleagues or superiors with dirty money end up in jail. He also knows that as long as he shakes before interest , I will never be clean. So being cautious is now Arthur's habit. Even on occasions like this, even if he was photographed secretly, he could say, "I just happened to be sitting on the same sheet with the second master of a mafia family while feeding pigeons. On the chair, what can I do if he comes over in public? "

If he expects to get his pension alive ten years later, he must be an actor every minute and every second. Imagine that cameras are everywhere. It ’s so difficult to perform along the way. It ’s rare to look back along the way. The only way to escape is to clear up the sober suffering in dreams.

Frank's accomplishments in performing arts were obviously a lot worse than Arthur's, but there was a good teacher by his side, and he had the same learning style, rubbing his neck, and looking at other places unnaturally and replied: "Yes Yes, let's talk, Officer Arthur. "

Arthur said: "Actually, I don't have much more information than what is reported in the newspaper. Yesterday evening, a short time before the park closed, there was an explosion in a remote area near the water's edge. There was a loud noise, and then a park manager heard the news and called the police. He was frightened and thought it was a terrorist attack or something. Because he was nearby, he heard some gunshots in addition to the explosion, so he was on the phone. It looks like a world war.

Just about half an hour ago, there was a traffic chaos caused by the accident and escape in the area around Route 41. The bureau sent a lot of patrol cars and police forces to maintain order, just in time to catch up with this, plus the administrator The description is really like that, so hundreds of police officers turned the car and drove on the E road. We even prepared the other party to be a free front and almost called HL to support it. When I got to the park, I saw only two burnt-out cars and some footprints. I searched for a half-mile circle, and found no dead bodies, no wounded people, and no signs such as slogans left by organizations or individuals.

后续 The follow-up investigation of this incident in the bureau this week should continue. Now many police officers are contacting their informants, hoping to get a big case out of this explosion. What else do you need to know? "

Frank remained calm, and continued to ask, "Sergeant Arthur, from your professional point of view, what is the truth of this matter?"

Arthur sprinkled corn kernels in his hand and thought for a while: "If you don't come to ask me about this today, I would suggest the colleague in charge of this case write on the closing report that a group of hippies were careless while in the park with high medicine A fire broke out and two vehicles exploded. One of them was confirmed to be a stolen vehicle, and there was a previous record of traffic accident escaping. No specific numbers or characteristics of witnesses and suspects were recorded. The last file was filed and recorded. "

Frank laughed, "So, does my curiosity change your opinion?"

Arthur said: "You have to tell me something I don't know before I can conclude."

Frank said: "Suppose that one of the two vehicles yesterday was used by our company's employees to carry goods; but the other vehicle is not the pick-up party, but the direction is unknown."

Arthur stopped for about two seconds, and then scolded in his mouth: "Hell ..."

Frank just smiled unwillingly, waiting for the other party's response.

This time, Arthur was silent for a long time, and thought about it before returning: "According to the situation of the site survey, I will give you two conclusions of the possibility. First, your employees swallowed the goods or money, and then ran away. .

They stole a car in advance and deliberately used that car to create a traffic accident that caused commotion. Finally, they stopped by the side of the cargo truck and caused an explosion before leaving, as if they were attacked by a certain force or someone. Two cars illustrate this point, but in fact this kind of illusion fog is used to cover up the simple truth. Everything is done for the Genovese family to avoid being hunted afterwards. "

Frank thought about it after hearing the words: "I have to tell you something, Sergeant Arthur, may be helpful to you. We have contacted the delivery party, and they said that the transaction last night started smoothly but ended. Later, a young man suddenly spoiled. He came on foot and didn't have a car, so he might still have associates.

According to your first conclusion, I also do not rule out the possibility that the young man was hired by my staff to perform. Maybe the conflict between them is just for the consignee, but I think if you really want to act, you should hire a group of guns with live ammunition to drive an SUV to the scene and shoot directly, which is more convincing. "

Arthur glanced at the other person: "You have a bad temper when you only talk about three-pointers, Frank, is there anything else you want to tell me? Let me make a wrong judgment based on limited information, and then you will reject it This is a waste of time. "

Frank said: "Excuse me, Sergeant Arthur, but I can live to this day because of paranoia and caution. I can't be sure if some kind of recording equipment is hidden in the pocket of your jacket now, from time to time in the future. Need. "

Arthur did not continue this topic, because he has a ghost in his heart, he has been working with the Genovese family for a long time, in order to prepare for the kind of recording that is needed in fact, there are already many at home ...

"Well, let me talk about the second possible situation, that is, the 'young man' in your mouth and his unidentified associates, kill all your employees, swallow the money after the transaction, throw Get off the transportation, maybe they have other cars, maybe they don't, anyway, they tried to escape. "

Frank again: "Did your police have a card check?"

"Of course it is. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com received the alarm of the explosion and soon set up a card on the E road. All vehicles leaving Beifeng Island Park must be checked. In fact, the number is not large and it is suspicious. The guy searched and recorded the driver's license information on the spot, but the wrongdoers found were just a few drivers who didn't pay the ticket. I searched many people and did not find the payment in your mouth or the explosion we expected at the time Device, the only contraband is a few ounces of marijuana. "Atherton said for a moment:" According to the new situation you just told me, I guess the group must have avoided the tracing by some clever method, maybe they saved the money Hidden somewhere in the park and plan to pick it up afterwards. "

Frank said: "So ... can I trouble you, Officer Arthur, try to find the money and the bodies of our employees."

Arthur sprinkled the corn on his hand and patted his hands and stood up: "I'm just guessing. Maybe the money was taken out of the park last night, but I will still try to find it. As for your employees, IMHO, Frank, if their bodies were thrown into Lake Michigan, they may have drifted to Milwaukee now, not to mention other methods of abandoning the body. Those methods that can make people disappear from the world are better than me. Don't you know more? "

Frank took an envelope from his arms and placed it in the middle of the bench, which was thick enough to make people think: "In fact, I don't have much hope, but we also have our own rules. It is not a trivial matter for family members to disappear or be killed. Just like your police, you work according to chapters, and we follow the tradition, so find it.

To find out the truth of the matter and sanctions, the Genovese family will handle it by themselves. "He left after finishing talking.

Arthur looked around before picking up the envelope on the bench, tucked it into the inside pocket of the jacket, and left in the other direction.
