Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Wearing it again

Here I go again, I have crossed again...

"Ugh...vomit...bah!" Liu Bi lay on the washbasin in the bathroom and vomited forcefully. The movement was so loud that one wondered if he wanted to vomit out all his lungs.

In Liu Bi's vague memory, the original owner of this body attended a banquet last night and drank a lot of wine but didn't eat anything. As a result, there was no food residue in his stomach, except for some acid water. The wall didn't spit out anything, even if he pinched his throat with his fingers, nothing was nothing.

Liu Bi turned on the faucet and rubbed the middle of his face with cold tap water. After calming down his mind, he straightened his back, looked up at the mirror in front of him, and looked at the face of the white guy in front of him. , cursed unconsciously.

"Oh, I'm unlucky...it's a soul wear."

The white guy who appeared in front of Liu Bi was named Chris Levinson, a name that sounded like the main character. He was a New York policeman from the United States of America. He was also a policeman who drank too much last night. The unlucky one who died for some reason.

"Let's think about it, the time is early June 1920... But, is there something wrong with this? What's going on in this world..." Liu Bi, no, Chris muttered to himself as he walked out of this extremely 20-year-old room. Old bathroom with a sense of history.

Chris doesn’t need to recall too many memories, he can be sure that the United States of America he lives in is not the same as the United States of America in the world where he used to be. For example, the Statue of Liberty was still sent to New York by the French in 1885 , but it was not Cleveland who greeted the Statue of Liberty to host the unveiling ceremony, but an American president named Takasha.

Chris went on to recall that there are too many things in this world that do not match the world history he knows. For example, the FBI is now being founded, but the founder and first director is not Hoover, but a man named Jia For example, the middle-aged Caucasian man in the previous life, all kinds of classic firearms, such as Springfield rifles, Thomson submachine guns, and 1911 semi-automatic pistols, are gone, and the police system in New York is roughly the same as in the previous life, but the details are slightly different. Some do not match the degree.

Especially the latter, in Chris’s memory, there is no 1911 semi-automatic pistol, but there is a 1912 semi-automatic pistol. Although the style is very similar to the 1911, the two are not the same pistol. The former uses a single-row magazine design, 7+1 Ammunition capacity, 11 mm caliber, while the latter is the same as the current magazine, ten rounds of ammunition, 9 mm caliber, the difference is so large that Chris does not think that the two are the same firearm.

In addition to the fact that some of the classic firearms in the previous life did not appear in this world, the history of this world has also deviated slightly. After the outbreak of World War I in this world in 1914, the United States of America participated very actively from the very beginning, but because of the lame The strength of the army, the United States did not seek benefits on the battlefield. In 1917, World War I ended early.

Although the war ended a year earlier, the United States itself was repeatedly beaten by the Germans on the battlefield because of its strength, so that it was generally looked down upon by European and American powers, and its status was the same as that of the United States of America in Chris's previous life. However, the United States has not been allocated much political cake.

It can be said that apart from a large number of economic benefits, the United States has lost all other political interests, including its international status.

In addition, it may be due to such historical reasons that many weapons that shined on the battlefield have no chance to shine because of the shortening of the war... Maybe they still exist, but they are not as famous as Chris in his previous life , so that the predecessor as a second lieutenant officer did not know.

The predecessor "Chris" didn't understand politics. He simply participated in the First World War. He joined the army as a big soldier from the beginning of the war. After a few laps on the battlefield, he was shot in the shoulder by a German rifleman and was seriously injured. After the comrades in the same company were completely bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery on the battlefield, he was successfully promoted to captain.

Then, when Chris recovered from his injuries and returned to the army as a platoon leader, the First World War ended before he led the team back to the battlefield. He also retired in early 1918 and joined the NYPD, two years as a cop.

Because of his hard work, he made several great achievements, and won the title of police officer Chris the Pioneer. He climbed up from a police officer to a sergeant, and became the leader of a group of street patrolling police officers, that is, the police squad leader. Then at the promotion party last night, he was successfully promoted to inspector.

Is it fast to be promoted from a low-level street patrol policeman to a superintendent in two years?Soon, even in this 1920s, when the New York police system was not perfect, it was considered fast.

Among them, in addition to the fact that "Chris" was a brave general who dared to fight and rush, he rushed to the front line of the gun battle between the police and the gangsters, and made great contributions to the New York Police Department. The former also agreed to a condition of Mr. James, the chief of the New York Police Department, in order to give priority to promotion from other old sheriffs to superintendent.

The condition is that "Chris" is transferred from the Manhattan Police Department of New York to follow the newly appointed Superintendent Marcus to be a police inspector at the Sixteenth Precinct Police Station. Director Marcus shared the pressure and acted as a pawn to charge.

Inspector.

Thinking of this, Chris ignored his weakness, turned up from the sofa, walked to the table in the living room and sat down, grabbed the leftover sandwiches that his predecessor brought back from the promotion banquet last night, and drank the cold water in the kettle After stuffing it into his stomach, he finally regained some strength and walked towards the bedroom.

In that brick-and-stone structure room, it had the style of a single man. There were a few posters of female celebrities posing on the walls, and a few unwashed clothes were thrown on the floor. The sour smell of sweat filled the room.

To the left of the head of the wooden bed is a bedside table with a red box decorated with tassels and the NYPD emblem, a copper kettle, a ceramic drinking glass, and a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver, Several bullets were scattered around the pistol.

"This guy is a bit sloppy." Chris muttered, he walked to the bed, opened the tassel box on the cabinet, and took out a neatly arranged set of clothes and an octagonal police hat.

At this time, the uniforms of the New York police are still very tough like soldiers. The single-breasted uniform with black as the main body is very close to Chris. He wears the octagonal police cap on his head and the police badge on his chest. Superintendent's badge, Chris stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room... Uh-huh, what a handsome young and handsome police officer, because of the excessive drinking last night, his cheeks were too pale and a little bloody Nothing, like a dead man.

Well, Chris admitted that this body really died once, so there is a reason for his pale face.

After admiring the police uniform on his body for a while, Chris sat on the bed and began to calmly think about his future. Now that he has traveled to this world and inherited this body, he has to think about his future .

Chris is a person who has traveled once. He has a system. The first time he traveled was in a feudal world with low magic. He relied on the system to cheat the fourth natural disaster cold weapon army. Chris punched the southern forest. The elves, kicking the nomads on the northern prairie, are so happy. They have experienced all the glory, wealth, and rights.

Now the second crossing, Chris is very calm, he thinks carefully about what he wants to do.

Get rich?

Although I really don't want to admit that in the 20s, although there was a lot of darkness and corruption in the United States, its national power was rising rapidly, and it was called the Roaring 20s. If Chris wanted to make a fortune, Chris only had to take off his clothes and rely on the system. By cheating, he can become a petty capitalist in a short period of time.

If he wants to gain power, Chris can also climb up the police system with his current position... Uh, well, this is a wishful thinking thing. I know how big I am, and I can become one of the top ten people in the last crossing. In this era, Chris's system is not working well, and his own EQ and IQ can't support him to climb up.

If you don't want to die ugly, stay away from politics.

If you don't want to be rich and powerful, what do you want to do...

Chris was lost in thought.

Or... Just be a New York policeman and just dawdle around?Anyway, he is a police inspector. He is a senior police officer who watches over others and directs low-level police officers to work. He is higher than street patrol officers, detectives, and sheriffs. There is no need to investigate the case in person, there is only one director and the deputy director who will appear in the future, as long as you act carefully and act quickly when encountering things, you can live happily.

After serious consideration, Chris realized that it would be a good thing for him to continue working as a police inspector. With this police inspector's skin on his body, in his daily life, he didn't need to be afraid that some bad guys would bully him casually. On the head, you can fish and live freely.

If you accidentally get caught by your boss and want to fire yourself, don’t be afraid. If you don’t have the police skin, you can go to the wealthy district of Manhattan and continue to live your life. Don’t mention that you have a system. Your predecessor was a New York policeman for two years. , Salary plus illegal income, I still have a little savings, and I am not afraid that I will starve to death suddenly.

Chris thought about it this way, and after thinking clearly about his future ideals, he put down his troubles, looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, and then looked down at the mechanical watch on the bedside table. Hey, the time is almost twelve I ordered it. Looking at it this way, I'm still a little hungry.

Thinking of this, Chris took off his uniform, changed into a suit and a gentleman hat, and took a wallet with a dozen banknotes in it, as well as his own .38 revolver police gun, and happily prepared to go out and taste this American New York cuisine in the [-]s.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Something Happened

"Dang..."

Chris pushed open the wooden door with the bell hanging on it, and walked out. An elderly Caucasian man in a coat and a hat came across the corridor just outside the door. He also saw Chris, raised his hat slightly and gave call.

"Hello, Mr. Chris."

"Hello, Mr. Edland." Chris raised his hat subconsciously and asked back. At this time, he realized that this old gentleman was the predecessor, that is, the landlord of the apartment room he rented. The two are not strangers , Sometimes when we meet in and out, we will stand together and chat for a while.

"The weather is fine today, Mr. Chris, you are going out..." The old man made a gesture of grabbing someone.

"No, today is my vacation." Chris replied as much as possible in accordance with his predecessor's speaking habits.

"There is something I need to tell you, Mr. Edland, I was transferred out of the Manhattan headquarters two days ago to work in the Clinton district, so in two days, I have to come and check out the house."

"Oh, that's a pity. It's hard to find a tenant who can get along with you so happily."

"I'm sorry too, Mr. Edland." Chris said as he passed him and walked out of the apartment.

The apartment I lived in before was a five-story masonry building made of red bricks. The walls of the apartment were painted with a layer of light green wall paint, which made the apartment look extraordinarily beautiful from the inside and outside. Small qualifications, the predecessor has always liked this apartment, worked as a policeman for two years, and lived in it for two years.

Chris lives on the third floor, and it doesn't take much time to go downstairs. When he took the first step out of the apartment door, there was a hoarse horn honking from outside the apartment, Ford T-cars driving on the two-way lane, and the two sides of the street. Walking, white men in leather jackets and suits, and young ladies wearing white silk hats and tailor-made small suits and long skirts, Chris finally got a real sense of the era he lived in.

Chris stood in front of the door of the apartment in a daze for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. He thought for a while and then walked to the right. In his previous memory, there was a good restaurant in that direction. The menu provided The delicious sandwiches and pastas are their signature dishes.

Chris walked slowly along the street and passed two intersections. At this time, traffic lights had appeared in New York and were installed at street intersections. However, because the promotion time is still short, New York is not everywhere. Such fashionable gadgets will only appear at very busy urban traffic intersections. The community where Chris lives temporarily does not have traffic lights because there is not much traffic.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the New York Times..." A newspaper boy waving a newspaper appeared in front of Chris. It was almost noon at this time, and it was not the best time to sell newspapers, so the newsboy shouted loudly. Gao, and his movements are a little weak, obviously his performance today is not good.

"Give me one." Chris took out a five-cent coin from his wallet and tossed it over. The newsboy caught the coin with a very quick reaction, and then he didn't even look at it. He knew it with just a pinch of his fingers. Coin amount up.

"Sir, wait..."

"You don't need to look for it, it's just a newspaper. Can you tell me about the recent news in New York City that deserves attention?" Chris said. He took out a newspaper from his bag and handed it over, speaking very fast.

"Sir, if you want to talk about big news, does it count if the big star Myramack cheated? I have gossip that even the newspapers don't know about?"

"Talking about the New York police, I don't pay attention to the affairs of celebrities." Chris replied, and he continued to walk towards the destination, followed by the newsboy, who followed behind his buttocks and kept moving his mouth.

"How about the Hell's Kitchen that everyone has been paying attention to recently? I heard from my companion that the recently appointed director of the [-]th Bureau had an accident when he returned home after taking office last night. Reporters from various newspapers gathered around the director's home this morning to collect information. News, if they don't rush to print the newspaper, then tomorrow's newspaper will see the specific news."

Chris stopped in his tracks, and he turned his head to look at the newsboy with a complicated expression on his face, tinged with astonishment when he was caught off guard.

"Something happened to the police chief of the sixteenth division, what happened?"

"Uh, I don't know anything. After all, I'm just a newsboy." The newsboy looked embarrassed, obviously he was telling the truth, and he wasn't pretending to be mysterious in order to get more tips.

"Enough, here you are." Chris had no intention of continuing to savor delicious food leisurely, he quickly took out a five-cent coin and threw it into the arms of the newsboy, then turned around and ran towards the police plaza in Manhattan, New York.

"Thank you sir!" Behind Chris, the newsboy with a happy face waved his arms vigorously to bid farewell to the rich man.

In order to work nearby, the residential area where the predecessor chose to live is not far from the headquarters of the police station. Without a car, it only takes more than 20 minutes to get there by walking quickly. In order to save time, Chris waved for the yellow taxi parked on the side of the road to come. , As soon as he got up and slammed the car door, he said to the driver.

"Police headquarters."

"Okay, sir."

The car started, and during the drive, Chris took advantage of this free time to seriously recall why his predecessor was sent to the sixteenth district police station as a police inspector.

Now New York City is divided into five major urban areas, namely Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island. Among them, Manhattan is the most prosperous place in New York, and Manhattan Police Plaza is where you can sit and stand. The Police Headquarters Building, where thousands of civilian and armed police officers work.

In addition, in the other five major urban areas, there are other jurisdictions at a lower level. In each of these jurisdictions, there are police sub-stations specially set up for this purpose. It can be compared in this way that the New York Police Department is the headquarters, and the sub-station is China. There are units like the street police station, but compared with the street police station, New York's police sub-stations have more people and stronger law enforcement powers.

The Sixteenth Precinct that "Chris" was going to did not leave the Manhattan Island area. On the west coast of Manhattan Island, the Sixteenth Precinct was roughly bounded by 59th Street and 34th Street from north to south, and from Eighth Avenue to the east. A rectangular area that reaches the west of the Hudson River, the official jurisdiction name is Clinton District, or it can be called West Midtown, whichever is fine.

If you think that's not enough, you can call it... Hell's Kitchen.

Hell's Kitchen is a well-known slum area in New York. It is mainly populated by working-class Irish immigrants. It is famous for its messy and backward living quality, serious ethnic conflicts, and high crime rate. Dare to patrol the streets of the entire jurisdiction during the day, but at night, unless there is a major case, otherwise, ordinary street patrols only dare to patrol a few blocks near the police station.

Farther away, in the area controlled by gangsters, they dare not go there at all. If they go there, they may encounter criminals who are conducting illegal activities, and then there will be a life-and-death shootout.

Why bother?Patrolmen get a monthly salary of forty dollars from the police department, why should they work so hard?Although the pension is good, they are more willing to take a steady monthly salary. Forty dollars is not a lot. Now the average monthly salary of ordinary American workers is 25 dollars, and the policeman makes [-] dollars a month, which can be regarded as the middle class.

The current US dollar is pegged to gold. In Chris’s memory, the price of an ounce of gold in the market can be exchanged for 35 US dollars. If you exchange US dollars for gold, 35 US dollars can be exchanged for about [-] grams of gold. In this way Under normal circumstances, U.S. dollars can be used as gold, which is very valuable.

Under such circumstances, the Sixteenth Bureau had very little control over Hell's Kitchen, and when the time entered the early 1920s and the U.S. Congress passed the Prohibition Act, the jurisdiction of Hell's Kitchen became even more chaotic.

The alcohol prohibition bill issued by the United States can be implemented for many reasons, including religious issues and capital reasons. Beverages with more than 0.5% are illegal. It is not illegal for civilians to drink alcohol at home, but it is illegal for friends to gather for dinner or hold a banquet. The maximum penalty is a fine of 1000 US dollars and imprisonment for half a year.

At the same time, the bill also sets restrictions on the drinking age. Only 21-year-old American citizens can drink alcohol legally. To buy alcohol, you must go to the public sales office designated by the government for shopping. If you go to other places to purchase illegal alcoholic beverages, you will be fined. and a period of imprisonment.

Did Prohibition Work?

It is effective on the surface, but in secret, those who should drink alcohol in the United States will continue to drink alcohol, and those who sell alcohol will go underground from the bright side. Found a new way of making money and made a fortune.

Under such circumstances, in less than half a year, the already harsh environment of Hell's Kitchen has become even more severe... There is no other reason. Hell's Kitchen is located on the prosperous island of Manhattan, and at the same time it is backed by the Hudson River. It is simply the most ideal bootleg transportation channel in the eyes of gangsters.

During the day, the pier of Hell’s Kitchen operates normally, transporting some normal goods. At night, the gangsters take over the pier, and arrogantly use boats to ship boat after boat of bootleg alcohol from other places. Bowl full.

Because it is a slum, it is difficult for the federal temperance agents of the FBI to investigate in Hell's Kitchen. More than half of the people living here are Irish workers, and the rest are either black or yellow. No matter how well-dressed the temperance agents are The camouflage, his temperament and ruddy face let them go in, and they will be discovered by the gangsters who are on the lookout, and the job of looking for bootleg alcohol will be over.

Sometimes, the Prohibition agents get intelligence that at what time of the night, there will be a ship full of bootlegs docking on the docks of Hell's Kitchen, but the Prohibition agents still can't catch anyone and get the result. , because when they lead a team into Hell's Kitchen, the gangsters on various traffic arteries will use various methods to notify the people who are transporting alcohol... gunshots, fireworks, poles on the roof, even if there is no mobile phone, There are too many ways.

The agents rushed to the pier, if they came early, the boat carrying the bootleg alcohol would leave, if they came late, the gangsters would have already hidden the alcohol without a search warrant, and they did not privately Prohibition agents who penetrate private residences are often helpless at this time, and they have no way to search the buildings near the docks.

Prohibition agents can of course rely on their status as federal agents to forcibly search nearby buildings. However, the consequences of doing so are very serious. Whether they find bootleg alcohol or not, the agents will face the consequences of firing, and the gang Does the molecule have anything to lose besides losing a good chunk of wine?

The low-level gangsters will be fined and go to jail for half a year, while the gang cadres above the middle level will often have nothing to do... There is no other reason. There is sufficient evidence that they broke the law, and in the US you cannot prosecute a suspect without strong evidence obtained by legal means.

In order to break down the bootleg alcohol smuggling channel in Hell's Kitchen, the temperance agents once tried to ambush in the house, rushed out when the gangsters were transporting alcohol, and caught them all... The idea was good, but the effect was not good. The local gangsters were better than foreign agents. They are more familiar with the local environment, and one or two unfamiliar faces can still get in. With a large group of unfamiliar faces, you really think gangsters and gangsters are blind.

Sneaky, a few people sneaking in seems to be okay, however, when there are too many people, eating and drinking the food needed for Lazard and transporting domestic garbage outside will expose the existence of the Prohibition agents.

Back and forth, the agents had to admit they were helpless with Hell's Kitchen's bootleg lanes, and they needed help.

At this time, they thought of the local police station in Hell's Kitchen, but the [-]th District Bureau located in this slum was already corrupt and depraved long before the Prohibition Act was promulgated. The street patrol policemen are black policemen who collect black money.

Even after the promulgation of the Prohibition Law, the boss at the top of the head collected the tribute money from the gangsters, took the big head, and divided the small head. Looking at the superintendent and the deputy superintendent, the police officers below were dissatisfied with taking such a small dividend, and used their own policemen in private The identity personally participated in the delivery of wine, selling wine to the underground tavern.

The above-mentioned behaviors were carried out by the policemen of the [-]th Sub-bureau in full swing, and the behaviors were not deliberately hidden, so that the residents in Hell's Kitchen had heard about them, and some even saw them with their own eyes.

The Prohibition Detectives knew these things just by checking them out. Immediately, the Prohibition Detectives who expected to get promoted and make a fortune became angry. With their firm backers, they quickly reported the situation upwards. The first FBI Director , Jax had a talk with the current mayor of New York City at a banquet.

It just so happened that the mayor's nephew was in the New York Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau. Its official name was the Director of the Political Inspectorate Bureau. His responsibility was to investigate corruption and criminal activities within the New York City Police Department. It happened to be a professional counterpart.

There are reasons, knives, and political and economic interests, so what are you waiting for?Do it!

The chief of the New York Police Department who received the news was not very willing to take down a branch at one time, but his arms could not twist his thighs. The allocation of the police department is in the hands of the mayor, and there is a police commissioner appointed by the mayor on top of the chief of police. You can quit, but the commissioner can sign the investigation, arrest, and prosecution documents in his place.

So with the support of the mayor, led by the Director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and coordinated by the police from the Manhattan headquarters in New York, the sixteenth district bureau was investigated, and the top director and deputy director, that is, the superintendent and deputy superintendent, were taken away. Banknotes of unknown origin in the office and home made the tax bureau arrive later.

Most of the middle-level police officers, that is, the backbone of the police station such as sheriffs and inspectors, were also taken away. Most of the lowest-level police officers were also taken away during a rough investigation, except for some who did not join. Except for the new police officers for a long time, the other old police officers were wiped out.

Military police officers and high-level civilian police officers were taken away, leaving only the other low-level clerks who were not arrested. Only civilian police officers in key positions such as file managers, weapon keeper, and material evidence administrators were arrested. After all They are in a special position, related to weapons and evidence of criminal suspects, as well as seized drinks. All three are people who ensure that the police officers can receive tribute money and sell trophies. It is strange that they have not been dragged into the water. .

However, compared with those military police officers who directly use black money to do things, civilian police officers have too many excuses to shirk their crimes. The most serious people are just fired, and if they are minor, they will be fined and turned back. He can continue to work in the Sixteenth District Bureau of Hell's Kitchen, which has led to the almost complete annihilation of Hell's Kitchen military police officers, but the civilian police system remains roughly intact.

However, a police substation has no armed police officers, and only civilian police officers cannot operate normally. The cessation of operation of the sixteenth district police station has caused the security environment in Hell's Kitchen to become worse. It used to be a relatively peaceful environment during the day. , Now people are gradually committing crimes on the street, and the gangsters dare to carry out gun battles in the streets and alleys.

Well, this kind of thing was reported by New York journalists, and the public's discussion turned into pressure, which was put on the mayor who wanted to be re-elected as the next mayor. He put the pressure down and put it on the New York police On the director of the bureau, he was ordered to quickly restore the normal operation of the sixteenth district bureau.

In order to get rid of the pressure and the scapegoat, the chief quickly mobilized the new police officers and the old police chiefs from other sub-bureaus who were just waiting to die and threw them into the sixteenth sub-bureau. Chris" and the incoming Superintendent Marcus.

As long as the two take office in the [-]th District Bureau, then a complete police station will be able to operate again, and the pressure of public discussion will not be able to press the mayor... Never mind what Chris and Superintendent Marcus do afterwards , the mayor and police chief can both speak to reporters.

You see, we have appointed the Chief of Police of Hell's Kitchen Precinct [-], and the officers and inspectors under his command are also in place. The results of their hard work, the citizens of the Clinton precinct are there for all to see... What, you say Has the local law and order environment not improved?Omega, I'm removing those depraved police officers from their positions.

Of course, such a thing is unlikely to happen. Proud New Yorkers certainly don’t pay too much attention to this famous slum in the Clinton district. The mayor’s behavior of dumping the pot is enough to satisfy their political desires. Reports from... Hey, they care more about whether the price of alcohol in the market is going up again, and where the nearest underground tavern peddling spirits is than the Irish immigrants' sneaky things.

With such a memory now, Chris knows his current situation.

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 is broken, I am the only one to blame
