Ten dollars,

Twenty dollars,

Fifty dollars,

One hundred dollars.

There were bills of various denominations, all old currency. An Yi guessed that the money was for selling powder, and five thousand US dollars was probably no more, no less, so he stuffed it directly into his coat pocket.

In the cabinet, An Yi also found an exquisite box. When he opened it, he found a brand new gold watch inside. The logo on it was a Rolex.

This Rolex gold watch is a new model launched in 1945. It is made of gold from the watch frame to the strap. It is the ancestor of the Rolex gold watch. It was sought after by countless people as soon as it came out. The price reached more than 1,500 US dollars, which is a real luxury product.

Previously at an Orange County bar, a customer was showing off to his friends, and An Yi happened to see it. Now he recognized it immediately.

This watch is very new, with the packaging bag still on it. I guess Cook hasn't been willing to wear it yet.

I just happened to be missing a watch.

The cash is for Bill, so consider this watch as your gain for the night.

Put the box in your pocket.

He didn't dare delay too long. There was too much noise here and someone would definitely call the police. He estimated that the police would arrive soon.

He put the pistol in his lower back and walked downstairs quickly.

He took his hat from the coat rack, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked out of the front door. A street light flashed past him, and he soon disappeared into the darkness.

Ten minutes after An Yi left, a police car stopped at the gate of the villa with sirens blaring. Three policemen got out of the car and approached the gate cautiously with guns in hand.

Open the door.

The tragic scene in the villa shocked the police.

The room was covered in blood, with several bodies lying on the ground. The walls were riddled with bullet holes, and it was obvious that there had been a fierce gun battle.

"Notify the FBI immediately, a big crime has occurred here!"

By the time the FBI arrived, many reporters had already gathered on the street, taking photos inside.

The FBI conducted an on-site investigation and concluded that there was most likely only one gunman. As for other circumstances, they were completely unknown and had no valuable clues.

I asked the neighbors and no one saw anything. After all, it was around 1 a.m. and everyone was asleep.

Three-thirty in the morning.

The police carried the body away, and the FBI recorded the case as a major first-degree murder and then withdrew.

......

"Ring, ring, ring~!"

The phone rang in the bedroom of an apartment.

Click.

Turn on the desk light.

Fred looked at the clock on the wall. It was three-thirty in the morning.

Fred is in his forties, with sharp cheeks and a mature and capable look. He is the boss of the Jewish gang in Los Angeles, managing more than 200 members of the gang. He is definitely a prominent figure in Los Angeles.

The Jewish gang occupied several of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Los Angeles, owned three underground casinos, operated loan sharking and smuggling businesses, and controlled the alcohol supply of five nightclubs and dozens of bars in the area, earning two to three million dollars in profits each year.

The phone was still ringing. Fred picked up the phone and heard the voice of the second-in-command, Alan Payne:

"I just got the news that someone broke into Cook's home in the early morning and killed Cook and his five men."

Fred was slightly stunned.

At night, his men reported to him that Bill, a small leader in the gang, was severely injured by Cook of the Spanish gang while collecting debts, and his life or death was unknown.

Fred asked about the situation and went to the hospital to see Bill.

At that time, An Yi had already left.

After returning, he discussed with several of his men and planned to check on Bill's condition tomorrow and then decide how to deal with him.

But I didn't expect something like this to happen at night.

"Who did it?" Fred asked.

"have no idea."

"Isn't he one of ours?"

"No, I have asked all my subordinates and they all said they did not do it."

Fred was even more surprised. "If it's not one of ours, then who could it be? Do you know any other circumstances?"

"I learned from the police that the FBI investigated the scene and determined that there was only one gunman," said Allen Payne.

Fred was slightly surprised. "One man killed six of Cook's men?"

"Yes, that's what the police said."

After hanging up the phone, Fred looked at the wall and thought, if it was one person who killed Cook, then this person must be very powerful.

But who is this person?

What's the origin?

Fred's wife turned around, hugged the man and asked, "Fred, what happened?"

Fred kissed the woman's hair. "It's okay honey, just some minor problems. Go to sleep and we can deal with it tomorrow."

.......

Morgue,

Cook's body lay on the cold bed, his face was pale and colorless, with two fatal bullet holes in his forehead and abdomen.

Dani, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Cook's body with anger on his face.

Dani is the boss of the Spanish gang in Los Angeles. His gang name is "Red Dani". Dani is a little fat and is in his fifties. However, for a man, fifties is the prime of life.

Dani has been working in Los Angeles for many years. He has more than a hundred people under him and occupies two blocks. He runs bars, nightclubs, brothels, underground boxing rings, casinos and clubs, etc. Their biggest business is the sale of coca powder.

Cook is Dani's more capable subordinate, responsible for some drug sales and can hand over tens of thousands of dollars in profits to him every month.

Now his right-hand man has become a corpse, which makes him very angry.

"Who killed Cook?" Danisha asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's very likely that the Jews helped do it." said a middle-aged man behind Dani. This man was Dani's military advisor, Burstein.

"Jewish Gang?" Dani frowned.

The Jewish gangs are the largest force in Los Angeles, followed by the Irish, and then the Spanish.

Other forces include Mexicans, Tang people gangs, and small groups composed of Russians, Polish people, and French people.

"I just found out from someone that Cook lost a lot of money in our casino some time ago and now owes the casino a large sum of money," Burstein explained.

"Yesterday, the Jewish gang came to Cook to ask for a share of the profits. Cook tried to delay, which led to a conflict between the two sides. Cook was addicted to drugs and fired a gun in a rage, injuring a small leader of the Jewish gang. The attack took place in the evening."

Dani's face was extremely gloomy. He bit his cigar hard and managed to say after a long while, "Damn you."

It is not clear whether this sentence is directed at Cook or at the Jewish gang.

After leaving the morgue, Dani returned to the mansion with Strategist Burstein, and the two lit up cigars and poured a glass of whiskey.

Dani pondered for a while, and seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Burstein in a deep voice,

"I want to get rid of the Jewish gang!"

In addition to loan sharking, casinos, bars, nightclubs, brothels, and underground boxing rings, Red Dani's biggest source of income is coca powder, which brings him nearly one million U.S. dollars a year, which is two to three times more than his other businesses.

The territory he occupied was small, while the Jewish Gang owned the largest territory in Los Angeles, but the Jewish Gang had a clear ban on drug trafficking. This gave Dani an opportunity. He found the Jewish Gang boss Fred and was willing to give out a large amount of profits as a share. Only then did the Jewish Gang allow them to enter the territory to sell goods.

To this end,

He gives the Jewish Tribune three or four hundred thousand dollars every year for free.

Dani has always been unhappy about this huge amount of protection fee.

After hearing what Dani said, Burstein was shocked and frowned, saying, "The Jewish gang is very powerful. We are no match for them."

Dani sneered, "I've thought about it. We can cooperate with the Irish, and even bring in Mexicans, Tang people, Russians, and Poles to deal with the Jews together."

"As long as we unite these people, we will have the power to kill the Jews and divide up their territory. We can own more bars and nightclubs, sell more coca powder, make more money, and don't have to give a share to the Jews."

Dani's prospects were enticing, but Burstein was still worried.

"But the Italian Mafia is behind the Jews!"

"Mafia..."

Dani groaned.

Today, the Italian Mafia is absolutely in its heyday in the United States, but Dani seems to have made up his mind.

"So we have to bring in the Irish. The Irish are strong enough to compete with the Mafia. There is hatred between them. Otherwise, why would they name themselves the 'White Hand'?"

"The Mafia's main strength is on the East Coast, with New York as its headquarters, as well as Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Kansas, and Philadelphia."

"The Irish on the West Coast are more powerful. When Fred brought his men to Los Angeles to seize territory a few years ago, the Irish were the most angry because he was a nail inserted by the Mafia into the West Coast."

"We will provoke conflict between the Irish and the Jews, and then join forces to kill the Jewish gang and divide the profits. As for the Mafia, we can let the Irish deal with it and we can just hide behind them."

I have to say that Dani is also a very smart guy.

Military strategist Burstein thought about it and felt that Dani's idea was indeed feasible, and even if it failed, there would not be much loss.

"What are you going to do?"

Dani puffed out his cigar and said with a smile, "Berstein, help me talk to the Irish."

"Okay, I'll arrange it at daybreak."
