American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1387: Love and Hate at Braden Beach (Part )
But the revenge of the Russian mafia followed. The younger brother of the Yoglov brothers, Laszlo Sr., who was also the gang boss, sent out his son Laszlo Jr. and a group of killers.

Although they failed to find out the hidden identity of Lai Ya, they found out the whereabouts of Benny D'Agostino, Lai Ya's subordinate, through other channels.

The latter was once the deputy of Godfather Moretti, but after the two had a conflict, Benny retired on the surface, but secretly cultivated and supported Leia, the illegitimate son, and finally even joined his team and became a loyal dog.

The Russian gangsters learned that Benny would meet secretly with Leah in a grocery store near Braden Beach. However, when they arrived there, they only saw Benny, so they shot and executed him.

In fact, Lai Ya was just a little late. With his inconspicuous appearance and clothes, he was simply mistaken for a passerby and let go. Strictly speaking, the killer didn't even notice him.

After the murder, the NYPD's Organized Crime Division found out Benny's identity and linked it to the recent murder of a Russian gang leader, confirming that it was a retaliatory attack.

Then Danny and Fusco, the new partners in the homicide squad, took over the murder case.

Gang vendettas are the biggest headache for the NYPD, as they represent a huge disruption to social order.

Gang members engage in drug trafficking, control prostitutes to work in the sex industry, and even collect protection fees from shops. Citizens have already regarded it as a part of their daily life.

People have even started to get used to school shootings. After all, there are so many states and cities in this country, and even if there are one or two shootings every day, the probability of it happening around you is not very high.

Even if it really happens to you, you may not be the unlucky one. Those who survived can light a candle to commemorate those unfortunate people, and live the rest of their lives as usual.

But if the gangs near your home are fighting over territory or something like that and are fighting there every day, then the citizens should look for trouble with the police.

After all, no one can stand sleeping soundly at home every day while hearing all kinds of noise outside. If you open the window out of curiosity to take a look, you might see something flying past your scalp.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, just like setting off some firecrackers to liven up the festival, but if it happens all day long, house prices will fall.

There is a rule in the United States: if housing prices fall, rich people will move away. If more rich people move away, the police funding will become tight.

Then the public security will become worse, so more middle-class people will move away, followed by blue-collar workers with relatively good incomes. House prices will fall further, and soon the economy will enter a vicious cycle.

Therefore, Danny and Fusco's mission is to find the murderer and get evidence. Whether it is sending Leia to prison or sending those Russian mafia killers to prison, it can temporarily end this gang feud and protect the safety of ordinary citizens.

But when reviewing the grocery store surveillance video, Danny and Fusco made a mistake, or rather a misunderstanding.

Since Leah was not well-known at that time, or was more like a newly emerged urban legend, they did not associate the bald middle-aged man who came forward to check on Benny's injuries shortly after he was shot in the video with Leah himself.

They naturally regarded him as an innocent passerby, and after Danny noticed that the seriously injured Benny in the video seemed to have said something to this "innocent passerby", they regarded him as an important witness. Coincidentally, Finch's "machine" also gave the social security number associated with Lai Ya's fake identity, Charlie Burton, the day before.

After receiving the call from Fusco, Adilise, who was secretly following and observing, he and Finch had a preconceived idea that the reason why the "machine" gave the number was because the Russian gang wanted to kill "Charlie Burton", the key eyewitness.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Reese to notice that five or six Russian gangsters were heading towards the apartment where Leah lived with automatic weapons.

In fact, the Russian gang also obtained the surveillance video from the grocery store owner and discovered the truth. Charlie Burton is Laija, the damn bastard who came back for revenge.

What followed were a series of coincidences and misunderstandings. Reese's cell phone was accidentally damaged during the battle, and he lost contact with Finch. He had no choice but to take "Charlie Burton" who was shot in the shoulder and hide in an apartment building occupied by Albanian gangs.

On the other side, Danny and Fusco reacted quickly and told Finch the truth, but it was too late.

When Reese took Laszlo Jr. hostage and fled to Manhattan Island with "Charlie Burton", he realized the truth. As a result, the former CIA agent capsized and was held hostage by the "key witness" he was supposed to protect.

Fortunately, Laija was grateful and did not hurt Reese. After shooting little Laszlo in the knee, he left with the help of his men.

The second half of the story was mainly told by the person involved, Fusco. In his words, although the "man in a suit" did not appear to be injured, his self-esteem seemed to be badly hurt, and he was very ruthless in dealing with several numbers afterwards.

“So is the turf war over at Blyden Beach over?”

Jubal is a native New Yorker. No matter how exciting Cassell's introduction to the history of the gang or Fusco's story about the revenge of the gang's illegitimate son, they are not as important as the local security situation.

"Bladen Beach is now owned by Leah's gang. The day after this incident, old Laszlo was beaten to death by Leah's men in his own club office. The Russian mafia then fell apart and completely withdrew from that territory."

When Danny said this, his expression was indescribable, but then his eyes lit up and he smiled, "It's a great win! I won!"

"So everything is back to normal?" Jubal raised his eyebrows, silently pushed down the Thirteen Yao that was only one card away from winning, and gave a bitter smile to Jack who was looking at the cards behind him.

"It's just temporary." Danny's joy of winning money was instantly diluted, and he couldn't help but sigh. "Not long ago, I went to the prison to visit Moretti, the former godfather of the 'Lucchese Family'. I suspect that Lai's next plan is to target him."

"He didn't say anything, did he?" Jack had guessed the result from his expression.

"Yeah, that idiot thought he was safe in jail," Fusco answered for his partner.
