50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 198 Shelby Boys Group

There was a total of 250 million pounds, which seemed like a lot, but the safe at his brother's place was mostly filled with weapons. While the money was in large bills, the total amount couldn't compare to what his brother had.

The older brother's cabinet is full of old banknotes, which are inconspicuous when used. The amount is ten times that of his younger brother.

But Sun Zhiwei knew that this was not their real wealth. The two brothers had been wreaking havoc in the East District for more than ten years. Who knew how much money they had.

But Sun Zhiwei will definitely not get it. We can only wait and see whether Scotland Yard can get it in the future.

It is probably unlikely. Historically, these two brothers lived until the 90s after being arrested, and both died of illness.

I don’t know how many people the two brothers have offended in the past ten years, and there must be too many people who want them dead.

But they still managed to live for so long, there must be someone protecting them.

Why? Only money. As long as they don’t give up the money, they have a wish. There will always be someone who is unwilling to give up, so they can live forever.

There must have been torture and coercion involved. The younger brother was a psychopath and it was unlikely that he could keep the secret, so only the older brother knew where the stolen money was hidden.

But how could the elder brother, who is so smart, spit it out? If he doesn't, the two brothers can still live, but if he spit it out, they will die.

Judging from the results, the brothers' stolen money must have been hidden well in the end, but no one knows where it is.

I sorted out all the notes worth more than ten pounds, and left the other smaller notes in a pile without paying any attention to them.

He simply took out a dozen pounds of change from the pile of coins and put it into the wallet in his pocket. The originally shriveled wallet finally became full.

After confirming today's harvest, his originally nervous expression began to relax.

When he glanced at the menu on the table, he saw a blue cocktail that looked good, so he signaled the bartender with his eyes to serve him a glass.

After a while, the wine was served. Just as he picked up the glass with great interest, a lady came over with a glass of wine and started a conversation. After he finally dealt with her, another one came.

Sensing something was wrong, Sun Zhiwei took another look at the liquor label. Under the blue cocktail picture it said: Margarita.

Sun Zhiwei, who had never had a cocktail before, realized that he might have ordered the wrong drink this time.

Picture: Margarita and Gin and Tonic
This is his blind spot in knowledge. In fact, Westerners have given different wines special meanings. If you don’t understand and mistakenly order a glass of wine with special meaning, it may cause you some trouble.

For example, in an Irish pub, if a guy orders a Margarita, he will have good luck in love, because the subtext is that he wants to find someone of the opposite sex to accompany him today. If a girl orders a Gin Tonic, it also has a similar meaning.
Other subtexts include Bloody Mary: implying that the drinker likes music, strolling on the beach, and military supplies;
Mai-Tai Cocktail: This means you like different and unique people and things, but you don’t have the courage;

Although Sun Zhiwei didn't understand the meaning of alcohol, he knew how to avoid this situation, which was to drink the alcohol as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the alcohol content of Margarita is not high and the volume of a glass is not large. After a few sips, the situation of being picked up disappeared.

Relieved, Sun Zhiwei slowly spent time listening to music. It was past 6 o'clock and dawn when he walked out of the bar.

He was currently located near the British Criminal Court and the Ministry of Agriculture. Earlier this year, there had been an explosion there. He had heard from embassy staff that this had been happening for several years. Sun Zhiwei had read the summary report in his previous life, which showed six similar cases this year, with more expected to follow.

It peaked in 92, with 38 incidents occurring in that year.

However, London residents don't seem to care and continue to do what they are doing, just like what is written on a small blackboard:
"We respectfully remind all the KB elements: This is London! No matter what you do to us, we will continue to drink tea and do our business. Thank you everyone!"

It has to be said that the people of the UK have an extraordinary spirit of optimism.

Looking at the foggy London in the early morning reminded him of the Kray brothers he saw last night.

It’s not that Sun Zhiwei looks down on them, it’s just that the London gangs today have lost all their class and are completely different from the suit thugs from decades ago.

It can be said that among all the gangs in the world, there are only two that Sun Zhiwei is not so disgusted with. One is the Godfather of Sicily, and the other is the Razor Gang in Birmingham.

Especially the Razor Gang, their clothing alone is miles ahead of most gangs in the world, and they are known as the "Shelby Boys" style.

They are also one of the most fashionable gangs in British history, and their dressing style later gave rise to a special clothing style: the yuppie British style.

After World War I, three Shelby brothers from the Birmingham area formed their gang, the Razor Gang.

Whether they are doing business, living their lives, or shopping, they all wear a five-piece suit of coat, suit, newsboy cap, pocket watch, and leather shoes. They are true suit thugs.

When they are doing their business, they mainly wear gray or woolen coats.

If they are attending formal occasions such as weddings and banquets, they will choose black, blue or striped styles, and more refined and noble peak lapels.

The Shelbys were a constant smoker and a heavy drinker! The Shelbys, young and old, were all whiskey lovers, and they drank from tin buckets and large spoons into glasses.

The Shelby family's cars are not ordinary. They are proficient in horse riding and horse racing. The price of a BMW is equivalent to that of a classic car.

They often hold parties, which are filled with band performances, fine wine and delicious food. When they dance ballroom dancing, their dancing moves are as good as those of the upper class.

Occasionally they would cultivate their sentiments by sitting in a row as a family and watching a ballet performance attentively.

The female members of the Shelby family also dressed very fashionably, always wearing fine clothes and furs, and attended formal occasions, just like the "Gatsby aristocrats" of the same period.

However, the female members of the mafia family are fundamentally different from the noble ladies. When they pick up guns, they are the female bosses. In terms of courage and strategy, they are no less than Shelby's men. Very cool~
It can be said that it is rare in the world for a gang to get to this extent.

Looking back at the Kray brothers now, they are simply unbearable to watch, and if compared with the Young and Dangerous, there is even less comparison. The Young and Dangerous on the island are actually just tamed wild dogs.

Two hours later, Sun Zhiwei returned to Susan's house. Susan went out to work in the morning and no one was at home. Sun Zhiwei opened the door himself, went back to the room on the second floor, washed up briefly, and then fell on the bed.
