"Because we have the same enemy." Kai had already prepared the answer. "204th Street!"
204th Street is the fastest-growing gang in recent years. Not only that, 204th Street is also the gang that has eroded the most territory of the Delana family. Among them, the conflict between Guzman's family and the Delana family is the most acute.
"I assume you want to see Guzman suffer?"
Marigio's eyes flashed when he heard Guzman's name.
Kai knew he was tempted.
Gangsters have their own set of rules, such as not cooperating with the police. No matter how fierce the hatred between the two gangs is, they will not use the police to attack each other. Once they do, they will be spurned by all gangs.
But... those are all old almanacs.
With the development of modern society and the ever-accelerating pace of life, many of the old rules have changed. Gangsters are no exception. But this change is far from good. In the first half of the last century, gangsters still had a certain sense of glory. For example, those mafia gangsters would wear suits and top hats wherever they went, dressing up like extremely gentlemen. Not only that, they were also willing to abide by the rules.
But now?
Making money is the last word. The traditional Italian mafia methods are gradually losing popularity nowadays. Today's young people don't like the Mafia's slow way of doing things. The days when the Italian Mafia and the Irish gang were domineering have long passed. Times have changed. The end of the Cold War has brought about new immigrant groups, and the threat of criminal organizations has tended to spread to globalization in this century. Among American gangs, the composition of departments has also undergone great changes.
Simply put, with the rise of the black civil rights movement, black gangs began to rise in large numbers. Now, due to the rise of the drug trade, a large group of Hispanic gangs are also catching up.
This led to the gradual decline of the traditional Mafia and Irish gangs.
Frederick Thrasher, the pioneer of gang research, pointed out in "Gangs: A Study of the 1313 Gang in Chicago" that the root of the emergence of criminal organizations lies in "social disorder caused by economic instability", as he said. In the world of black street gangs, as the Wu-Tang Clan sings in "..M.": "Money rules everything."
Compared with European immigrants, the black group will self-emphasize their cultural isolation from mainstream American society because of their marginalized economic status and political powerlessness. Few black gangs want to be associated with outside economic activities and government officials. To what extent does this closure exist? From the 1970s to the 1980s, some members of the "Crips" (one of the most famous black gangs in Los Angeles, opposed to the "Bloods") who were in prison would still use Swahili to communicate with each other.
This has also led to more black youths ending up in gangs. It is precisely for these reasons that black gangs have begun to become mainstream in the United States today. Black people, on the other hand, have no regard for the so-called honors and rules respected by white society, and even think that they are old-fashioned and hypocritical.
And organized crime among older immigrants such as the Irish, Jews, Italians and Chinese is no longer what it used to be. Ultimately, as older immigrants integrate into mainstream society and their class status improves, the social role of gangs is becoming insignificant.
In this case, the approach that the Delana family insisted on was completely outdated.
Marigio obviously understood this, and he also thought about making changes. He originally wanted to break the tradition and bring Chapra into the family and make him a senior member of the family. This was his attempt.
However, his enlightened reform had not yet seen results, as he mistook undercover agents for talents and ended before it even started.
But it can also be seen from this that Marigio is not the kind of person to follow the rules.
"Then how do I know if you will use the scavenger to deal with me?" Marigio was moved.
Of course he was moved. Although the Delana family has recovered its strength under his leadership over the years, it is still not qualified to deal with Guzman and the 204th Street behind Guzman. It would be good to use the police to deal with them.
But he still has scruples.
That is, he also worked with scavengers.
Kai didn't say anything, just looked at it with a smile.
Maligio curled his lips: "It seems that you are not sincere."
"Whatever you want, you have to take risks. In a sense, I am helping you get rid of Guzman. You can't just take advantage. How can you not take any risks? You can do it now Let’s bet on whether there is any evidence left on that ghost scavenger.”
"Hey, it seems like you are begging me!" Hearing Kai's strong words, Marigio laughed angrily.
"No, no, how can I, a policeman, beg a gang leader? I'm just giving you a chance. You don't have to give me what I want, but that will make me very unhappy. I'm not a big-hearted person. Since you give me If I'm not happy, then I'll have to make it worse for you. You don't want me and the entire West District Police Department to keep an eye on you, right? Even if you're smart enough and have no flaws, what about your little brother? I'll have all the policemen in the police station twenty-four I have been keeping an eye on your little brother since childhood, even if he spits on the ground, I will have them caught and detained directly!"
Kai never deals with criminals, he only uses his own methods to get what he wants.
Are gangs afraid of the police?
Of course they are afraid. If nothing else, as long as the police keep an eye on them 24 hours a day, how can they do business?
However, this strategy is also a lose-lose for the police, after all, they pay taxes!
Of course, it won't be easy for the police if you do this.
But relatively speaking, the gangsters suffered more losses. After all, if the police went too far, they would be scolded at most, but they would really lose money!
Marigio originally planned to get some benefits from the police, at least get a promise or something like that, but obviously, the police officer from the serious crime team opposite didn't want to give him this opportunity.
"Hey..." Marigio immediately said in a heroic tone: "I don't know who the scavenger is, but I know that a man named Tony is his agent. If you find him, you can find the scavenger."
"Thank you. By the way, please pray that they don't have any evidence of you, otherwise you will go to jail again."
After speaking, Kai took Chapu and walked out.
When Chap stood up, he glanced at Marigio. Want to say something.
When he betrayed Marigio, he was actually not having a good time himself. Undercover agents are human beings too, how can they not have any feelings at all? Maliggio really has nothing to say to Chap. Others even planned to make him the second boss. They made it clear that they wanted to train him as their heir, but he was unreasonable and backhanded him. Sold.
Chapu comes from a grassroots background, and he values the loyalty of these brothers. It's just that his identity as a police officer is more important to him.
But even so, after Marigio was in prison, he did not send anyone to cause trouble for him, and even after he was released from prison, he did not cause trouble for him.
To say that Marigio is afraid of Chap's identity as police officer is completely nonsense.
After all, for someone like Marigio, it's not that difficult to quietly kill a little policeman.
So Chap always felt that he not only owed Marigio, but also owed him a favor.
On the contrary, Maliggio never looked at Chap and treated him as if he didn't exist.
"Let's go...Chap, remember you are a policeman." Kai could feel Chap's struggle, but didn't say much. He just patted him on the shoulder to remind him.
