A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 379
Last night, Arthur and the others lit the fire before they left, and it burned all night.

Fortunately, there were no other buildings nearby, otherwise the fire would have spread everywhere with the wind.

Outside Maranzano's burned villa, a large number of New York City police officers and spectators gathered around to watch.

As the fire had just been extinguished, the police had just entered the scene to investigate the situation.

At this time, the sergeant of the New York City Police Department was standing in front of the crater at the gate, frowning and saying to the deputy:

"If I'm not mistaken, is this a crater made by a cannonball?"

"Director Thompson, I'm afraid you read it right. Because the fire had not been extinguished, we first conducted a search around the perimeter. As a result, we found a 12-pound field gun abandoned at the scene, as well as unfinished guns. Cannonballs..."

By the end of the deputy's speech, he felt that his report was outrageous.

Who on earth pulled out a field cannon in the suburbs of New York City and fucking fired it?

To be honest, not only did the deputy who made the report feel outrageous, but Thompson also felt a little confused after listening to the report.

"Were there any witnesses at the scene? Has Maranzano himself been confirmed to have been killed?"

"According to the first police officers who arrived, when they arrived, Maranzano's villa was already in flames. As for Mr. Maranzano, we found several surviving servants of the Maranzano family. , they said they did not see Maranzano leave the villa."

If he didn't leave the villa, there was a high probability that the man would be dead. Even if he wasn't burned to death, the probability of surviving was extremely low. After all, the people who attacked here even pulled out their damn field artillery.

"Let's confirm the code of this field gun and see if we can find the origin of this gun. Please don't release the specific information of this case to the public for the time being. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Chief."

……

Compared to the New York City Police Department, which was unclear about the situation, Lonnie Vincent, who came with the check and the accompanying bodyguards, looked at the ruins in front of him and the information he learned from the police officers he knew. shocked.

Without wasting any more time here, he sent people to the hotel and Arthur's stockbroker Lil Fumo to inquire about the information, and then returned home.

Back home, Brighton looked at Lonnie who came back so soon and asked:
"Is it done?"

"Father, you won't believe what happened." Lonnie said coquettishly.

Brayton did not continue speaking, but looked at Lonnie, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that the deal was not sold, Lonnie knew that he did not have the conditions to be willful like Linda, so he continued:

"The villa of Maranzano's family was burned down. I heard that he did not come out of the villa. Moreover, a 12-pound field gun was found at the scene. After inquiring, it seemed that someone was mining there last night. The gun The sound of cannons continued..."

"..." Even though he was a person like Brighton Vincent, he was stunned after hearing what Lonnie said.

"Is that Arthur Morgan still in New York?"

Brighton didn't ask if Arthur Morgan was still alive. If he didn't do this, Brighton couldn't think of a second such ruthless person in New York.

Field artillery, what is the concept of field artillery?Did he think this was a Civil War?It's outrageous, really outrageous.

Lonnie was well prepared for Brighton's concerns. He answered:

"I've had people go to the hotel and his stockbroker, but there's no news about him. I guess he's out of New York temporarily. Of course, although I don't believe he will die in the villa in Maranzano, but I still arranged for people to stay at the scene, the fire burned all night, the police just entered the scene to investigate, and the specific news is estimated to be known in the afternoon."

In this regard, although Brighton was very satisfied with Lonnie's thoroughness in doing things, he just nodded slightly and said:
"Have you told Linda about this?" "Not yet. I thought I would be blocked by her when I came back, but I didn't see her?" Lonnie said a little strangely.

Brighton thought for a moment and said:

"Don't tell her yet, Nemancha will come to our house for dinner tonight. Remember to be there on time."

"Okay, father."

……

As the king of New York's underworld, Maranzano's death spread quickly in New York.

Along with the news, another name spread.

"Arthur Morgan?"

"Yes, I'm going to leave New York for a while."

Several men in expensive suits sat around a dining table.

"First Forman was hanged at home, and now Maranzano? The news I got was that the police found a 12-pound field gun outside, and the iron doors outside the villa were blown open by shells! And Those bodies... Guys, none of us knew that Foreman's biggest client had always been Maranzano."

The restaurant was occupied by these people. At this time, there was only the sound of the knives and forks in their hands cutting the beef on the plate and the plate rubbing against each other.

After a while, another man said:
"You know that Forman's investment has gone viral, right?"

"...Isn't it normal for such a high-risk investment to have a thunderstorm?"

"My relationship with Foreman is pretty good. He had begged me before and wanted to transfer that thunderous investment to me. Now I know that he wanted to get back the cash from me. "

"Is that Maranzano's money?"

"correct."

"Well, after finishing this meal, it seems it's time for me to leave New York for a while."

At this time, the man who had been silent from beginning to end spoke:
"That guy Joseph Bonaparte is still delaying our request to meet. He ran to Washington on his own. We can't stay here to bear the risk of retaliation for him, but I don't want to leave New York either. You know, these days Something big is bound to happen in the stock and securities markets for some time.”

After making sure that everyone agreed with his statement, he continued:

"Gentlemen, we are all businessmen, not messengers of justice, nor anyone's loyal friends. As long as who can bring us benefits, then we are friends with whomever we have. I think everyone can recognize this Point of view, so, I have a proposal.”

"You said."

"I am listening."

"You want to sell Joseph?"

"If you borrow an umbrella when it's sunny, you'll take it back when it rains. Isn't that what we are?"

Several people spoke with a smile before the proposal was made. It was obvious that they had already understood the unspoken proposal of that person. Being able to sit here and eat together today, they actually had the same idea in their hearts. of.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's talk about how much money we are willing to spend to settle the matter."
