Hell's Kitchen.
As for why it is called this name, there are many versions. The most famous and well-known one is from a conversation between an old policeman and a rookie policeman.
The rookie police officer, watching a certain commotion in the area, said this place was hell.
The old policeman blew out a smoke ring and said with a normal expression, "Hell is very big. This place is just the kitchen of hell at most."
From this, Hell’s Kitchen is called Hell’s Kitchen.
Hell's Kitchen was once a ruined neighborhood with rampant crime, but in recent years it has seen some improvement.
Especially after entering the 21st century, as a certain order in Hell's Kitchen has stabilized, this area has become popular with many tourists. However, although the criminal activities here have decreased, attention has been paid to keeping tourists vigilant. .
Kingpin!
Wilson Fisk is the king of Hell's Kitchen, no, the biggest boss in New York and even the world.
However, rather than saying that Kingpin belongs to the criminal world, it is better to say that he belongs to the dark world, because Kingpin has the qualification to leave his name in the dark world.
As for some other families?
Compared with the huge criminal network controlled by Kingpin, other people are somewhat less prominent.
this day.
Kingpin issued an order from his villa, and half an hour later, there was loud gunfire somewhere in Hell's Kitchen, and there was even a faint sound of grenades.
An hour and a half later, the gunfire stopped.
Two hours later.
Three white vans parked directly at the door of the New York Police Department. The rear door opened, and the maimed Russian men were thrown out of the car one after another, causing several police officers at the door to panic instantly. status.
Building No. 820!
Baker thanked Kingpin on the other side of the phone. Baker and Kingpin had only met once, but they knew Hero Moulton from the Dark World.
and……
The relationship is good.
Last year, a guy from Hell's Kitchen heard about Baker from somewhere and paid Baker five million to take Kingpin's life.
Baker accepted the offer. For gangster jobs, he always gets paid first and then does the work. Then, Baker backhandedly told him that he had been sold.
What?
Is it shameful to betray customers?
Don't be ridiculous, that guy clearly regards Beck as an ordinary idiot killer. Beck has never been used to this kind of guy.
and.
Anyone in the dark world who is familiar with Baker knows that Baker takes orders from Wall Street.
And then……
Nothing happened. Baker didn't care about that guy after he sold him, but he just exchanged contact numbers with Kingpin.
After hanging up the phone.
Baker once again scrapped the phone, then took out a new disposable phone and put it in his inventory.
Anyway, just like computers, he had downloaded two hundred of these disposable phones. Baker Morton didn't have many friends anymore, and Hero Morton had even fewer friends.
In the afternoon.
The building's doorman called and said an officer from the NYPD wanted to visit him.
After Baker said something, the guard let George Stacy go.
soon.
Baker greeted George Stacey who came out of the elevator with a smile on his face: "Welcome, Officer Stacey."
George Stacey took a deep look at Baker and shook hands: "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Morton."
Baker invited George into the house.
"drink wine?"
"No, during work."
George Stacey declined to Baker who walked over to the bar, and then said: "I came this time mainly to consult with Mr. Morton."
Baker poured himself a glass of bourbon: "You already said that on the phone."
George laughed and then said: "That's it. I wonder if Mr. Morton knows Wilson Fisk?"
Baker looked confused: "Sorry, who?"
George said again: "Wilson Fisk, or another name, Kingpin."
They just had a grudge with the Russian gangster last night. As a result, this morning, the Russian gangster, who they had been undercover for nearly three months without finding any criminal facts, was thrown directly at the door of the police station, along with a series of incriminating evidence.
George is a cop, and it's his job to suspect all coincidences.
Baker pondered, thought for a while, and then raised his head: "If you are talking about Kingpin from Hell's Kitchen, I know him, but what happened to him?"
George watched the expression on Baker's face: "This morning, all the members of the Russian gang who tried to break into the house and rob Mr. Morton's girlfriend last night were thrown at the door of the police station by Kingpin's people, along with their evidence of guilt."
Baker raised his eyebrows: "There is such a thing, but it should be a good thing, right?"
George was silent for a while and said: "This is a good thing, but that's not how it works."
Baker smiled, looked at his watch, and said, "Officer Stacey, I'm going out later. Let me tell you directly. Do you want to ask me if I am behind this matter?"
George looked at Baker and nodded.
Baker took a sip of bourbon and shook his head: "George, can I call you George?"
George nodded and smiled: "Of course."
Baker said directly: "I did know Kingpin, but that was in 2001, when I had just graduated from New York University, and I had not met Kingpin at a Hell's Kitchen investment conference, but after I After knowing who the gold coin was, I didn't go there anymore, after all, my uncle is also a policeman."
George said, "Hank Boyt!"
Baker nodded: "So, Kingpin and I know each other, but that's it."
George nodded inwardly.
Who Baker's uncle was was in the files, and as for the acquaintance of Baker and Kingpin, George also found the police officer's observation records at that time in the New York Police Department's separate database on Kingpin.
Baker wasn't lying.
Is this really just a coincidence?
George thought in his heart.
Seeing this, Baker said, "George, do you have any other questions?"
George came back to his senses and showed a smile: "No, thank you Mr. Morton, thank you for your cooperation."
Baker smiled: "Cooperating with the police is what every citizen should do. By the way, I have already contacted the coffee bean company in Kenya. The coffee beans should be sent to you in a short time."
George said thank you.
After returning to the police station.
George sat in his office and thought for a while, then accessed the internal communication system of the national police and found the communication number of Officer Hank Gamer who was currently working in the Chicago Police Department.
after awhile.
After George finished pressing the phone, he delayed pressing the call button.
quite a while.
George hung up the phone.
never mind.
I believe you once.
Baker Morton!
