Manhattan Reborn 1978

George brought Richie Roberts, who had just come in, to David and the others.

David saw the two of them, looked at Richie who was greeting everyone, and a voice in his heart began to shout loudly!

I x!

Russell Crowe!

fxxx!

George introduced David and Pine to Ridge.

Pine stood up, shook Richie's hand, and was polite.

But David was still sitting there stupidly, looking at Richie with a somewhat straight look in his eyes!

Russell Crowe plays Professor John Nash!

This is ****!

Only a few days ago, Ben Whitcott, Lavis and Giovanni, the three conflicting brothers, appeared.

They surprised several people in the company! ~

Now here comes another pair of brothers who butt heads?

Richie Roberts and John Nash?

What are you doing~

Depend on!

Is this Richie a plot character in some movie or TV series?

But David doesn’t understand this plot and has never seen it!

After experiencing accidents, excitement, and surprises again and again, his ability to adjust his mentality has significantly improved.

Take a deep breath!

Take a sip of wine.

Put all these distracting thoughts aside for now!

David stood up, smiled at Rich, said a polite word, and then asked him to sit down first, gesturing for Cohen to continue.

Richie took a chair from the side, sat down, took the wine glass from George, and looked at Cohen who was about to speak.

Ever since he entered, he had been paying attention and sizing up everyone in the restaurant.

David Coleman is the most recognizable!

He is the youngest person in the company!

He sat in the main seat, flanked by Ludy and Cohen, whom Rich knew well.

After the introduction just now, Richie knew that the young and middle-aged man next to David was Pine, one of the bosses of the security company and the representative of the Morgan family.

Today he finally got to know all the bosses behind this legendary company.

At this time, Cohen's voice came from the side, and he continued the topic he had just left unfinished.

"That guy named Gustavo I was talking about."

"He is the relative and brother of a drug dealer named Pablo Escobar in Colombia."

"This Pablo entered the list of the world's richest people in this year's Fortune magazine, and he was ranked in the top ten."

“This guy is now a councilor in Medellín, Colombia.”

"He also publicly announced on television media that he would participate in the Colombian presidential campaign."

"Pablo, he is in Colombia. He is openly offering rewards to the police who investigate him and hinder him. The price ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars."

"This guy also put a bounty on the DEA agents working in Colombia. Each of them has a bounty of more than 50 dollars."

"The two killers hired by Nicky Bane were Pablo's men in Colombia."

"This time they followed Gustavo to explore the United States. Pablo wanted to open more drug sales channels in the United States."

"These two killers have now been confirmed by Miami police to be dead on the streets of Miami."

"It was done by a few motorcycle killers. They were beaten into a honeycomb."

"My guess is that Gustavo and Blanco wanted to kill people and silence them. They deliberately killed them on the streets to strangle this line and prevent us from finding out who they were."

David and the others listened to Cohen's story. It turned out that there were so many follow-up things behind this incident.

Ludy lit another cigarette: "Cohen, are your information accurate? Where did they come from?"

Cohen spread his hands and smiled at several people: "They are worth [-] US dollars, and I got the news on credit."

"Bosses, when do you think you can reimburse me?"

Pine nodded without saying anything. He looked at David, who was frowning and saying nothing.

After listening to Cohen's news, David seemed to have some impressions of Pablo Escobar in his mind.

This guy had seen it in his previous life when he was accidentally browsing interesting stories on the Internet.

But no matter how he thinks about it now, he can't remember how this guy ended up.

Can not remember.

Then don't want to.

It is estimated that this drug dealer with a funny brain and wants to run for president will end up in a miserable way.

David raised his head and looked at Cohen: "Our DA company is going to use the group company's assets as collateral for a loan at Morgan Bank. After the money comes, I will allocate part of it to you to let the security company continue to recruit people." People develop.”

"Go and reimburse Polly for the information fee. Remember to tell her tomorrow not to disturb her good mood tonight! Man!"

"Ok!"

Cohen smiled and nodded, swallowing back his recent plan to increase the equipment budget.

David turned his attention to Rich Roberts: "So, Mr. Rich, can you tell us about your knowledge of DEA? Also, what kind of work did you do when you worked at DEA?"

Richie was well prepared for these problems.

He told David and Pine again the introduction to DEA he had said in Polly's office last time.

"DEA is the abbreviation of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration?".

"It was changed to dea in 1976. The previous name was too long and difficult to remember, so I changed it."

After Richie finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added: "I guessed it!"

amount. .

hehe~

Several people were amused by his joke.

Those bureaucrats in Washington don't do anything serious all day long.

Very diligent in changing the name!

What is it called? Is it important?

They should approve more funds and distribute some equipment!

It's not affordable at all.

They play with imaginary things very smoothly.

Richie smiled and continued talking about his experience investigating drug dealers in New York and New Jersey after joining DEA in New Jersey.

He focused on the subsequent years spent investigating Frank Lucas, who lived in Harlem, New York City.

Frank Lucas?

"Wait! Richie, are you the agent who caught Lucas?"

"And you and Lucas purged three-quarters of the narcotics police in New York?"

"In the end, you became Lucas' lawyer and defended him?"

"I rely on!"

"Is the world such a small place?"

David's several questions and subsequent exclamations made Ludy burst into laughter.

He also answered David's question: "Are you the fool who found millions of dollars in cash drug money in the trunk of a drug dealer and finally chose to hand it over to the police station?"

"what?"

"Richie, have you ever done this kind of thing?"

"Can you tell me what you were thinking at the time?"

Richie's face stiffened when the two asked him, and he could only cover it up with a wry smile.

Why does it seem like everyone knows about the bad things he went through?

David, who obviously couldn't care less about these things, knew all about him.

Richie didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Rambo sat next to him, treating himself as an invisible, wooden person, listening to the conversation of several people.

He looked at Richie up and down, thinking, this guy didn't look like someone who would hand over millions of dollars to the public!

Working as a lawyer for drug dealers?Defend him?

Gee!

This world is really fucking wonderful!

As a good listener, Pine smiled and raised his glass and gestured to Richie, helping Richie resolve the somewhat embarrassing situation.

After Richie took a sip of wine, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't tell others about his bad things.

So he told everyone what happened with Lucas.

Richie first set his sights on Frank Lucas because of the new high-purity powder on the market, Blue Magic.

I have to say that this Lucas is very business-minded.

Lucas treats Blue Magic as a powder medicine brand.

The main product is high purity, no additives, pure natural green cocaine.

When purchasing, please look for the trademark: Blue Magic!

Produced by Frank Lucas, you deserve it~!

that's it.

Lucas recruited all his relatives and brothers from his hometown in North Carolina to help him establish a drug processing and sales network covering most of New York and the entire New Jersey.

The Nicky Baan that Cohen just talked about just ran a club and a few other properties in Harlem.

Compared with Lucas, his strength is like that of an adult and a baby.

Richie found out about the sales of blue magic on the market and found out about Lucas's younger brother, Huey Lucas, who was a distributor.

He followed and investigated Xiu Yi for a long time, and slowly figured out the entire sales network in Lucas' hands from him.

After Rich felt that the time was right, he wisely chose to start with the people around Xiu Yi.

He set a trap for one of Hughie's drivers, captured him, and forced him to become an informant in Richie's hands, helping him collect clues and evidence of the Lucas Group's crimes.

What no one expected was that a driver whom Xiu Yi didn't care about helped Richie and his guys lift the last veil of the entire Lucas family's drug business.

Rich, when Lucas was about to make one last order before calling it a day and retiring, he found the serial number of the military plane he was transporting.

After going through a lot of twists and turns.

Rich found the cocaine hidden in the coffins of dead soldiers on the military plane, and used them as bait, followed their transport convoy, successfully found Lucas' secret drug processing factory, and took it away completely in one fell swoop. !

Richie looked at Ludy and said to him: "The question you just asked me was the same question Frank Lucas once asked."

"It was more than half a year after the prosecutor's office indicted him. The two of us planned to end this torturing case and found an opportunity to chat alone about our views on the case."

"The conversation I had at that time is still fresh in my memory."

"Lucas asked me if I knew that the millions of dollars I handed over ended up in Officer Johnny's pocket."

"Of course I know these things. I didn't have any solution to these things at the time. I could only answer him, maybe~"

Richie smiled wryly and spread his hands to several people: "He asked me why I did this? Why did I choose to hand over the money even though I knew that the money would go into someone's own wallet."

"My response at the time was I just did what I thought was right."

"Rudi, this is my answer~"

Ludy pursed his lips and raised his glass to Richie, expressing his apology for the unfunny joke before.

Richie also raised his glass and said it didn't matter.

David was very curious about this conversation between him and Lucas, and asked him: "What else did you two talk about afterwards?"

"How did you convince Lucas to help you?"

Richie shook his head and said to David: "No, I didn't convince him. On the contrary, I was almost rendered speechless by Lucas' question."

"Um...can you tell me about the conversation at that time? Man, just to satisfy my curiosity!"

David asked Richie in his mouth, but in his mind he was trying to remember and search for this plot.

"Okay~"

Richie leaned back in his chair relaxedly, holding the wine glass with his fingers intertwined.

"Lucas later asked me another question, if I were faced with a huge sum of money again, would I still choose to hand it over?"

"I was stuck with this question in my mind."

"I replied to him that it was a lot of money and that it happened a long time ago."

"I ran away from his questions."

"Lucas then said that if I wanted to do it again, he could park a car in any parking lot with a trunk full of money."

"I turned him down."

David, like Richie, relaxed his body, found a comfortable position, and listened to Richie's story.

"Later Lucas asked me whether the drug trade situation in New York and New Jersey had changed during the period after he was imprisoned. Whether he was in prison or not, those addicted to drugs would kill people. Robbery, steal, get some pennies, buy drugs, keep smoking..."

"Lucas is right, that's what it is!"

"He said, in this case, we are sitting here, what do I have, what can I get?"

"I said, I have all the evidence of your crime, your stolen goods, your evidence of bribing police officers, your overseas bank account number, and everything you exchanged for cocaine!"

"I still have the parents of the kids who were killed by this cocaine!"

"Their children are addicted to drugs because of your blue magic."

"Lucas, you murdered thousands of young people, but you lived in a mansion, drove a luxury car, hugged a beautiful wife, and lived a so-called happy life. Now it's time for you to pay the price for these things. ”

Richie paused, lost in memories.

Several people were silent and thinking about it.

David thought of a question that Richie hadn't said yet.

"Then how did you convince Lucas to identify those anti-narcotics police officers who took illegal money?"

Rich curled his lips: "I gave him a choice, or be locked up in prison forever and live a prosperous life."

"Either hand over all your property and help me catch those criminal policemen, and I will help him become a free pauper!"

"So...he chose to help?"

"Of course, Lucas hated the police officers who took money from his pocket. The life and death of these people no longer mattered to him who was already in prison. He just wanted to watch them be taken to prison by me."

"And that's exactly what I want to do!"

When Richie said this, he waved his hands to several people, indicating that the story was over~

Pine applauded him: "Mr. Rich, it's an honor to meet you!"

David also smiled and applauded him: "Maybe you should test yourself again and change your profession to become a lawyer~"

Ludi laughed and continued: "You can designate a place and I will fill the trunk with rice knives!"

Richie shook his head and said, "No, I can't guarantee that I will make the same choice this time!"

Because of Richie's frankness, the distance between him and several people has become closer.
