"Ha, the Bronx, they really know how to pick a place!" Santino sneered. The Bronx is the place with the most mixed gangs in New York. This environment also provides a guarantee for Sollozzo's safety.

Nowadays, the American underworld is somewhat similar to the American political system. The gangs in each state control the forces in their respective territories. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere. If there are business needs, they negotiate with each other. After the old godfather defeated the Maranzano family, he traveled around the United States and various families.

Negotiations led to the establishment of a gang conference, which enjoyed great prestige throughout the country and was called the national hegemon.

Among the five major families in New York, the Corleone family is the most powerful. It is based in New York and has influence all over the country. Even Tesio, who is separated from the Corleone family, almost monopolizes Brooklyn.

The Bassini family is slightly less powerful, mainly in Manhattan and Staten Island. Their influence is also spread across the country, but it is not as good as the Corleone family. They always want to pull the Corleone family from the throne of the American underworld.

, and they also have considerable influence in their hometown of Sicily. In the movie, they used the power of Sicily to bribe the bodyguard sent by Tommasino to protect Mike, and killed Mike's wife Apollonia.

The Tartaglia family is mainly active in Manhattan and the Bronx, the Strazzi family is mainly active in New Jersey, and New York is only active in Brooklyn and the Bronx. The Cuneo family is the weakest, only in the Bronx.

Activity.

It can almost be said that the five major families in New York all have influence in the Bronx. Coupled with the small forces that are attached to them, the Bronx is extremely chaotic. Once something happens, no one can completely control it, which is perfect for Sollozzo to retreat.

"I will arrange for someone to hide the gun. I have been to this hotel. They use an old-fashioned bathroom. Then I will have someone hide the gun behind the toilet water tank and stick it with tape." Clemensha is responsible for this.

Action, he took out the gun he had prepared and showed it to Shen Long, "The handle and trigger are covered with special tape, which will not leave fingerprints. After shooting, you immediately droop your hands naturally, let the gun fall to the ground, and then speed up

Footsteps...but not running, leave this place quickly."

"I understand." If you are caught with a gun, you will get everything. But without a gun, you have a lot more room for maneuvering, and you can escape responsibility in court. Speaking of which, powerful American agencies have established fingerprint databases.

And the method of identifying prisoners through fingerprints was invented by Edgar Hoover. Even if there was no tape, Shen Long would not worry.

"But what should we do with that policeman? Kill him too?" Even Santino, faced with the situation of shooting a New York police captain, was a little unable to make up his mind.

"Don't worry, I will solve it." Shen Long said firmly.

"There is a freighter bound for Sicily in the evening. I can let you board the ship. If you kill the policeman, you'd better hide for a year or two and then come back." Running away is not just a thing in Xiangjiang, but also in the United States.

The story is equally popular. The Corleone family made their fortune by smuggling private wine, so they have no shortage of escape channels.

"Get ready first." Shen Long said vaguely. Tesio was still here. He didn't want to completely reveal his plan. "If necessary, I will rush to the ship."

Next, everyone discussed the details, such as who should be sent to hide the gun, who should pick up Shen Long, who would be responsible for sending him to the boat, etc. In the evening, Sollozzo called and told Shen Long who to get on the boat.

place and ask him to wait there.

Shen Long went to the Jack Dempsey Hotel on Broadway and waited in front of the hotel as scheduled. At 8:55 p.m., a car stopped in front of him on time. Sollozzo waved him in and he and McRobles sat in the back seat. , the driver was an expert sent by the Tartaglia family, Shen Long got in the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Sollozzo stretched out his hand from behind and shook Shen Long's hand, "Fredo, I'm glad you can come. I hope we can solve all the problems. The current situation is simply too bad. The development of things is terrible." It’s beyond my expectation, and it’s not a good thing for you or me if something like this happens.”

Shen Long could feel the thick calluses on his jaw and several joints. Judging from the position of these calluses, Sollozzo was as good at playing with knives as the rumors say. "I also hope that we can play with knives tonight." I can resolve the matter and I don’t want Vito to be harassed anymore.”

"He will not be harassed." Sollozzo said sincerely. He had no intention of replacing the Corleone family as the overlord of New York. He just wanted to sell his white face. "I swear on the name of my son that we will be honest and honest." Let’s talk about it and don’t be like Santino, he’s too impulsive.”

McRobles leaned forward and patted Shen Long on the shoulder, "Sorry, I need to search my lower body first."

Shen Long complied. McRobles knew in advance that Shen Long was not armed, so he searched carefully and professionally. Sollozzo watched the whole process without blinking.

The driver made several beautiful turns on the road, ensuring that no one was following him, and then arrived at the entrance of the Lewis Hotel in the Bronx. Shen Long and the other three came inside and found a table in the lobby to sit down. After ordering the food, McRoberts Si concentrated on the food, while Shen Long and Sollozzo talked in Italian with a Sicilian accent.

"I respect the old godfather very much. The previous problems were all business matters. It's a pity that he is old. Santino's character cannot be compared with the godfather at all. Tom Hagen is an Irishman and cannot be compared with Gianco A. Compared with Bandandu; and all the families in New York are standing behind me, and the Tartaglia family is even working with me. Once the fight continues, the whole of New York will be your enemy." Sollozzo finally said. If he has connections with other families as well.

After discussing the details of the cooperation for a while, as if he was really interested in the deal, after Sollozzo felt a little relieved, Shen Long asked to go to the bathroom.

Sollozzo asked for a body search, which made McRobles very dissatisfied. Doesn't this doubt his professional ability? But Sollozzo still persisted.

After searching himself, Shen Long entered the bathroom, took out the pistol hidden there from behind the water tank, peed, and returned to the hall.

"What you did made me want to go to the bathroom. If you continue talking, I'll be out soon." McRobles muttered, walked past Shen Long and entered the bathroom.

"Mr. Sollozzo, you made a mistake. The Corleone family never negotiates with people who have harmed their own family members!" Shen Long said coldly.

Sollozzo was about to jump up from his chair after hearing the news, but it was already too late. Shen Long stretched out his left hand like lightning, held him down firmly, then pulled out a pistol with his right hand and pointed it at his temple, "Now, go to hell." Bar!"
