Michael led people into Tavern Street aggressively, but soon he frowned.
The people from Ansongtang disappeared. He didn't see anyone wearing Ansongtang clothes along the way.
Instead there was a group of young men dressed in gentleman's uniforms and bowler hats.
A smiling face instantly appeared in Michael's mind.
Although he, like others, couldn't tell the difference between the looks of these Chinese people, in his eyes these Chinese people all looked the same.
But that man's fluent English, his temperament that was completely different from other Chinese people, and his missing braids left a very deep impression on him.
Michael went directly to the largest casino on Tavern Street, pushed aside the horse boy at the door, and immediately turned over the gaming table after entering. Then he took out his gun and fired a shot at the roof, shouting: "Let everyone move aside." Squat down!"
The two copper buttons behind him hesitated to speak, looked at each other, and then like others, pushed aside the guests and the horse boys in the casino.
"What are you going to do?" Several horse boys asked dissatisfiedly.
But neither party could understand who was talking.
"The Copper Buttons are here to clean up the situation, go and notify Brother Wei!" Rong Jiacai said to the young man on the side.
The young man nodded, then walked backwards toward the door.
When Michael saw this scene, he did not stop him. He just wanted the other party's boss to come out on his own.
…
"Don't plan to go back?" Chen Zhengwei was lying on Wan Yun's knees.
When he had free time in the past two days, he would chat with Wan Yun for a few words. Wan Yun's body was very soft and had a faint rosy smell. In addition, Wan Yun's personality is also very soft, which makes people feel quite comfortable.
"It will take more than thirty days by boat. I don't know if I can go back. Besides, what's the use of going back?" Wan Yun bit her lower lip gently and said softly.
"If Mr. Wei doesn't drive me away, I won't leave!"
"Then just stay here!" Chen Zhengwei grabbed a handful of her chest. It was as soft as the rest of her body, although it was a little small... but it was raised.
He just asked casually, and he didn't care whether Wanyun came back or not.
Chen Zhengwei grabbed another handful and felt a little more angry. He put his hand through Wan Yun's clothes and was thinking about doing something in the office when there was a knock on the office door.
"Weige, those copper buttons wiped out our casino!"
"Fuck, will he find the time?" Chen Zhengwei stood up with a curse.
Wan Yun's ears were a little red, so she went to the hanger to take off her coat and helped Chen Zhengwei put it on, and then gave Chen Zhengwei his hat.
Chen Zhengwei opened the door and walked out with an unhappy look on his face: "What's going on?"
"Those copper buttons came and immediately wiped out our place. We couldn't understand what they said, so the scholar asked me to inform Weige!" the young man said quickly.
"How many people came?"
"Seven!" said the young man.
Seven people, the entire team responsible for this area of Chinatown, came.
At this time, there were not many people in the Investigation Bureau (Police Department). There were only about 300 people in San Francisco, including various detectives and other departments.
Chinatown has never been able to be managed here, so there is only a team of seven people, and its jurisdiction also includes the surrounding areas of Chinatown.
Chen Zhengwei nodded and walked out of the casino.
The other young people in the casino filed out behind him.
"Call someone!" Chen Zhengwei said to behind him after going out, and a young man took out a whistle and blew it.
Along with the sharp whistle, another whistle sounded one after another in the distance.
At the Fan stall in the alley, Yan Qingyou was playing Pai Gow with a few of his men with one foot on a chair. A young man kept shouting "Di, Di, Di..."
Touching Pai Gow in his hand, his face showed a bit of joy, and he raised his hand to take down the Pai Gow.
But at this moment, the whistle sounded. After hearing the sound, Yan Qingyou pushed the card directly and raised his eyebrows: "Anyone else dares to come to us and cause trouble?"
"Walk!"
"No, Brother You, I'm a land card!" The young man opened his eyes and wailed.
"What are you playing for? Didn't you hear someone calling? Get the guy and go do something!" Yan Qingyou said angrily, picked up his clothes and hurried out.
When I walked onto the street, I saw people constantly coming out of the shops on both sides and joining the crowd in front.
Yan Qingyou trotted over: "Brother Wei, who is so brave and dares to cause trouble for us?"
"What are you doing here as a sick person? Are you here to kill someone?" Chen Zhengwei glanced at him.
"Although I can't kill anyone, I can still hold a gun!" Yan Qingyou said with a smile.
"Nothing's wrong, the copper buttons are here, go scare them!" Chen Zhengwei walked toward Tavern Street aggressively, with the others following behind.
Those ghost guys are used to being domineering and domineering, and they never take Chinese people seriously.
You have to scare them first before you can talk to them.
Of course, if they don't know what's going on, they can just disappear into Chinatown.
Those ghost guys all looked the same to the Chinese and couldn't tell them apart at all. Even if they were left in Chinatown, how could the hundreds of people from the Investigation Bureau come in and arrest all the tens of thousands of Chinese?
One person can drown them all with just a mouthful of spit!
When he arrived outside the casino on Tavern Street, seventy or eighty young people followed him, and the darkness blocked the entire road.
"Come in with me, armed with a gun." Chen Zhengwei turned his head and ordered.
Then he opened the door and went in. At a glance, he saw Michael sitting on a chair, and all the horse boys and gamblers were standing in a row against the wall.
Several copper buttons were looking at them.
"Officer, what kind of drama are you singing today? Are you here to sweep my place?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows in a frivolous manner and smiled.
"Your casino? Where's Anson Hall?" Michael asked with a frown.
"Maybe he ran away? I took over here, and I have never offended the police officer!" Chen Zhengwei clapped his hands: "Come here, give the police fee to the police officer, won't you take the initiative?"
"Ten more dollars for tea!"
The casinos here have to pay money every month, otherwise the venue will be raided.
The money is not much, depending on the size of the casino, it costs twenty to thirty yuan a week, and the fan stall costs five yuan a week.
This is already an established rule.
Of course, this is the money given to these copper buttons, in exchange for them not coming to trouble you.
In addition, money must be given to the Tangkou.
Michael was still thinking about Ansongtang. When he saw someone coming with money, he immediately waved his hand and opened it. He looked at Chen Zhengwei coldly and warned: "Chinese, don't play tricks on me."
Then Michael looked at Chen Zhengwei, who was wearing gentleman's attire, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, remembering a case half a month ago.
It is said that the murderer was wearing gentleman's clothes
Thinking back to the time when a batch of guns in a sporting goods store were robbed, those people were wearing Ansongtang’s clothes, and then Ansongtang disappeared…
Putting all these together, he suddenly realized that the smiling young man in front of him was probably the person he was looking for.
A surge of anger suddenly arose in Michael's heart, and he felt that he had been tricked.
"Catch him!" Michael gritted his teeth.
"And these people, bring them all back to me!"
"Huh?" Chen Zhengwei, who was still smiling at first, narrowed his eyes when he heard this and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
It was like a ferocious beast had torn off the mask of disguise.
"You want to arrest me in my territory? Sir, you are so brave! What the hell are you thinking?"
"This is the United States! Do you dare to resist arrest?" Michael became even more angry after hearing this. These Chinese still want to resist?
This was the first time he saw such a brave Chinese.
Michael drew the gun directly from his waist, but Chen Zhengwei had already taken a step forward and put a gun on his head.
"There is Chinatown under your feet! Catch me? Believe it or not, I will let you all stay here?" Chen Zhengwei said with a ferocious smile.
Seeing this, the other copper buttons all raised their guns and aimed at Chen Zhengwei.
However, at the same time, with the sound of neatly lifting clothes, all the people brought in by Chen Zhengwei took out their guns.
