In fact, this case is not difficult to investigate. The case was quite sensational at the time. Through Kay's relationship, Matt easily entered the police file system and found files related to the woman.
According to word on the street, the woman's codename was Peppermint, but gang members preferred to call her Bloodmint. The reason is that everywhere she goes, there is blood.
Bloodmint's real name is Riley North. Riley was once an ordinary housewife with an honest and honest husband and a lovely and smart daughter. Although her life was not rich, she was warm and cozy. Although their house requires 144 more loan repayments before it finally belongs to them, and they also face a family financial crisis, both couples are full of longing for the future, and they feel that there is no obstacle that they cannot overcome.
But things came to an abrupt end with an unexpected phone call five years ago.
It turned out that Riley's husband, Chris North, had a friend who encouraged him to rob the small treasury of a gangster in the city. The gangster had many businesses, but the most profitable one was undoubtedly selling fans. Her husband's stupid friend accidentally learned that the big boss planned to purchase a batch of goods. How could it be possible to transfer money online when buying and selling drugs? Naturally, it was a cash transaction, so that idiot got confused and wanted to rob the money...
I don’t know what he was thinking, rushing to steal the drug man’s money.
Chris came from a poor background, and was also from a lower-class community. He was not an honest kid when he was a child. He went to jail several times, but he also committed some major crimes, including petty theft and fighting and causing trouble. And he is one of those rare people who can change his ways after entering the palace many times. It is definitely a fish that has slipped through the American judicial system.
Now that I have a wife and children, although life is a bit hard, I make money and spend it myself, which is a solid thing.
So I refused the solicitation and corruption from my friends.
Originally, Chris thought the matter would just go away, but who knew that his cheating friend was so careless about robbing a drug lord that he was so careless about it, and the drug lord found out about it. With such a deceptive sense of confidentiality...you still want to rob a drug lord?
You know, in the United States, if you rob a bank, you will go to jail. I have never heard of any fool being sentenced to death for robbing a bank, unless you massacre the hostages. What's more, it's just a plan. Even if you plan to rob a bank in the lobby of the police station, the police will have nothing to do with you... But robbing a drug lord?
That cliffhanger is a dead end, even if you're just planning. Drug lords don't need evidence.
When Chris called to refuse, the scammer happened to be caught by the drug lord.
In fact, if it were just like this, the drug lord would not cause trouble for Chris. The drug lord is here to make money, not to hold a killing competition. If there is no interest, who would kill someone? But at a moment's notice, the drug lord learned that his idiot friend actually knew his trading time and current storage location... This was no small matter.
During robberies, drug lords would most likely kill the unlucky ones who robbed them, but now they learned that this little brat actually knew such a secret.
Then we must kill people and silence them!
Otherwise, the drug lord will not be able to sleep well!
He must silence everyone who knows about this!
So Chris was unlucky enough to be on the must-kill list.
To make matters worse, the drug lord didn't know if Chris would tell anyone else, so he simply killed Chris! Eliminate all possibilities!
So one day five years ago, it was Riley and Chris's daughter's birthday.
The family of three relaxed for a long time. During that time, both Riley and Chris had headaches about their financial situation, but their daughter's birthday was the biggest one. So the family planned to go to the amusement park, and the family of three was very happy that night.
They didn't expect that this would be their last time.
After the trip to the amusement park, the three of them went to buy ice cream and planned to go home, but Riley saw his daughter eating ice cream and getting it on her face and clothes, so she turned back to the ice cream truck to get some tissues.
Riley had just gotten the tissue before he could turn around.
There were bursts of gunfire!
Riley saw her husband and daughter lying in a pool of blood. She ran towards them frantically, but after a burst of gunfire, she also lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital, and she also learned that her home was gone.
She once believed in justice, and she expected justice to bring justice to herself and her family, but all the witnesses remained silent, and no one was willing to come forward and identify the murderer. So she personally identified the three hot spots!
But soon, the rogue lawyer found Riley and they offered a sum of money to shut him up.
Riley naturally couldn't accept such a thing, and she drove away the lawyer.
However, the lawyer found antidepressant drugs in her home, and used this to attack Riley in court, arguing that her testimony and identification were not credible and could not be used as evidence.
As the prosecutor of the case, the prosecutor who was supposed to be on her side responded negatively from beginning to end, constantly cooperating with the other party's lawyer.
What is even more desperate is that the judge who should be the most impartial judge in this case is also blatantly partial to the other side, causing the jury to ignore many of the prosecution's evidences.
So what was originally an ironclad case was overturned under the manipulation of three parties!
What's even more ridiculous is that Riley was considered to be mentally ill in court... and would be sent to a mental hospital...
This operation... can also be confusing.
Matt even gasped when he saw this record. This is... too dark.
Although Matt is just a fledgling lawyer, he grew up in Hell's Kitchen and didn't really see too much of the dark side of society. But playing with justice so nakedly, eating the defendant and directly killing the plaintiff also made him feel horrified.
No wonder Bloodmint hated that judge so much.
Afterwards, Bloodmint escaped on the way to a mental hospital and was never seen again.
Until recently.
At the same time, Matt also found out who was the enemy of Blood Mint.
…
"Cornell Stokes? Who is this?" Matt found Kai with the information he found. Kai was confused when he saw the name of Blood Mint's enemy. Kai basically remembered the leaders of the major gangs in New York City, but this Cornell Stokes... seemed to have never been heard of.
But there is no reason that a gang leader who can play with the judicial system in this way is just an unknown person. He is just another Kingpin.
Speaking of Jin Bin, it is also strange. This guy seemed to have really disappeared, with no trace at all.
It seems that he has really retired from the world.
I don’t know if there are no abandoned corpses in the wilderness.
In short, it doesn't matter if this kind of person doesn't come out, Kai always feels that it's okay for this kind of silver coin to stay in the dark. If he comes out, who knows what trouble will happen.
"The leader of the Viper Gang, known as the Godfather of Harlem, is the owner of the 'Harlem Paradise' nightclub."
"Huh?" Why doesn't Mao Kai know about such a cool title?
"He is different from ordinary gangsters. He is an old-school gangster who pays attention to honor and rules. Well, he is just like the Italian Mafia. He does not like to be in the limelight and is very low-key. He is even very keen on charity. He has many properties. Most of them are legal, but as for the private illegal businesses, they are very well hidden. Luke and I have been keeping an eye on them for a long time, but we didn’t catch any evidence at all.”
Even people like Matt who hate gangsters have to admit that Cornell is a very charismatic guy. He always wears suits and ties, and is absolutely polite when talking to others. This guy even helps Harlem. The black people at the bottom administer justice, distribute food and so on.
Therefore, he is extremely respected in the Hamlet District. Although on the surface he only has one nightclub as his territory, in fact, the entire Hamlet District is his territory!
So even if they destroyed several of Cornell's dens and allowed his men to be captured. But no one betrayed him.
This makes the Defenders team unable to resist him.
You can't just rush in and beat him up, right? Let’s not talk about whether this is useful. After all, beating him will not solve the fundamental problem and uproot his power. Beating him will at best vent his anger, not to mention whether he can beat him or not.
Because this guy is actually a voodoo wizard! He knows some weird spells, which makes him very, very difficult to deal with.
When he was young, he had a nickname.
Water-belly snake!
This nickname was attributed to a fight in which he had a whole mouth of teeth knocked out, so the guy replaced his teeth with an artificial material that was as hard as diamond. Hence the nickname,
Coupled with the divine power brought by his magic, he can even bite through steel with one bite. In addition, he has the ability of photographic memory, coupled with the fact that he is also a master of fighting and possesses all kinds of strange spells, which makes his strength very terrifying.
"Huh? Pay attention to honor and rules? So you kill the whole family?" Kai clicked his tongue as he listened. He didn't know what the old-school gangsters were like, but... this kind of killing of the whole family is really rare among American gangsters. It's not unusual in South America and Russia. (The gangs in these two places are all big guys. In comparison, the Russian gangs are more naughty. This is not an exaggeration. To say that the gangs in the world are the most powerful, the American gangs are not even worthy of carrying shoes. Look at the United States now You know the gang ecology of the United States. The local gangs in the United States are so tough. Those awesome gangs are all foreign goods, let alone black gangs... If you really meet the above bosses, they are just serving tea and drinking water. In the gang ecological chain, black gangs have always been at the bottom)
Matt shrugged, not all gangsters have this virtue. Do we still expect that among a group of gangsters, there will really be some knight-errant who cares about the country and the people?
Of course, compared to those new gangs with no bottom line, those old-school gangs are really much better.
"What are you going to do?" Kai asked.
Matt pondered for a moment, and finally decided to trust Kai: "Cornell...is it within the scope of the Special Physical Investigation Department?"
"Are you going to let me handle it?"
"Well, if the blood mint continues, many people will die...including herself."
Kai knocked on the armrest and thought about it: "Nod, I will let the Special Investigation Department handle this case."
…
Hamlet, an important hideout for the big gang "Latin Boys".
Bloodmint did not follow Matt's advice. Also, how could a person who didn't even care about his own life be persuaded by a few words?
The reason why Blood Mint found this gang was very simple, because she remembered that one of the three people who were in demand had the symbol of a Latin boy in the tattoo on his body. Another reason is that Latin boys are pretty well-informed. Maybe they know something.
Bloodmint is not Matt, and with Kai's support, she has no resources to support her, and even relies on stolen firearms. Not to mention intelligence, intelligence must be supported by sufficient resources, otherwise the little information on the streets will not be counted at all.
Of course, Bloodmint didn't learn any lesson.
After all...she almost fell to her knees, so this time, she did not choose to defeat this gangster. Those minions are of little value, so it would be better to go directly to the core members. Bloodmint quietly sneaked into the core of the den, found the big boss here, pinned him down in the room, and tortured him to the point of soul-crushing pain.
Here she needs to thank the big boss, because he has made the soundproofing of her room quite good, and the boys outside are having a party with some women who have lost their feet, and the music is loud, so the big boss's screams do not make the outside sound louder. No one noticed at all.
Bloodmint took out a photo and slapped it in the big boss's face: "Tell me! Where is Johnny...?!!"
The big boss's hands were stabbed on the desk by two letter openers, and one of his legs was shattered at the knee by Blood Mint with a pistol equipped with a silencer.
"Johnny...Fuck! Who the hell is Johnny!" The big boss was in high spirits at the moment. When the blood mint came, he was sucking powder, and there was a girl on the bed who was obviously drugged. It seems that they intend to add to the fun. By the way, although many people say that sucking on that thing can make men feel more like that when they are doing that. But in fact, according to research... that thing has no effect on increasing male function at all, and may even make you sluggish, faster, shorter, until you can't get up. That thing can make people feel happy for a while, but later on, it really makes me cry for nothing.
So friends, cherish life and stay away from drugs!
Stop listening to those stupid idiots who use ignorance as their personality!
Anyway, right now, this guy is still a little unclear.
But who is Bloodmint? In order to take revenge, she dares to risk her life to train herself and transform herself from a housewife to an avenging angel. Will she be soft?
This woman dares to use a stapler to staple her own flesh to stop bleeding. She will only be more cruel to this scumbag!
So in just three seconds, this man had three more knives on his body, and another knife was rubbing back and forth on his crotch, ready to send him into the palace at any time!
The man woke up immediately, after all, his brain hadn't really been burned out yet.
"Johnny... Johnny... Johnny has burped his butt! He was cut into pieces by his enemies and thrown into the sewer three years ago!"
