Chapter 1917: Social Elements?

The private detective, who was also from New York, had a beard and black sunglasses, and looked like a great detective. However, the way he squatted and smoked made Yang Cheng suspect that he was a fake American. You must know that Asian squats are correct. For foreigners, it’s just a bug, the kind that you can’t learn no matter how hard you try.

After Yang Cheng followed his grandfather and bowed to his old friend, he came to the detective and squatted down, "Do you have any more cigarettes?"

The big detective glanced at Yang Cheng and threw a pack of cigarettes over, "Take it yourself~"

Yang Cheng took one and held it in his mouth. He lit it and stuck it in the soil without smoking. "I heard that you spent nearly 8 years looking for this person?"

"Almost~"

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"Why does it take so long? If it were the other way around, I would definitely give up. After all, the reward is not equal to the time spent~"

The great detective took a few puffs of cigarette and shook his head, "Because this goal is very interesting~"

"oh?"

The great detective hesitated for a moment and did not continue. Yang Cheng said, "Don't worry, I am the client's grandson. There is nothing I can't say, and he is already dead, right?"

"Okay, actually I suspect that the target is not dead~" The words were not surprising, but Yang Cheng was almost frightened by the cold words of the great detective. This was a cemetery. Even though the sun was shining brightly, it was still very dark.

"What?" Yang Cheng was shocked, and then said with a stern face, "So you are deceiving my grandpa?"

"No, how should I put it? I said the target is interesting because I have been tracking him for nearly 8 years. Every time I was about to find him, he would disappear inexplicably. But when I was about to give up, he would suddenly appear again.

This time it was like this again. I finally found some clues and learned that his family was hiding in the old town of Casablanca. But when I found their home, his family told me that he had passed away.

My first reaction at the time was that this guy was repeating his old trick. It was a deception, but it was different from the past. In the past, he disappeared with his family. How could he disappear alone this time?

And in the name of death, I thought about it for a long time, and also investigated the cause of his death, and there was no problem.

I have to believe that he might really be dead,

However, I felt a little uneasy, and I always felt that there was something wrong with his death. "

Yang Cheng took a deep breath, not expecting that a person's death would involve such a complicated situation.

"Then why didn't you continue to wait and inform my grandpa of the news?"

"Your grandfather just happened to call me and ask about the progress as usual. He said on the phone that he was getting old and he didn't know if he would receive news from his old friend in his lifetime.

I thought about it all night, and finally told your grandpa the news the next day, at least it would make him feel relieved, even though it was not good news~"

Yang Cheng nodded silently, "By the way, what is this old friend my grandfather is looking for? Why does he always disappear inexplicably?"

"I don't know what his original job was, but he has strong anti-tracing capabilities. Since I took over this case, he has changed at least 6 jobs, and each time he lost his job as he disappeared.

During this period, he worked as a security guard and a chef. For a while, he was very close to a warlord in North Africa. To be honest, this man was a mystery. I even suspected that his name was fake. "

Yang Cheng's face slowly became serious. He was worried that his grandfather would be impulsive because of his old friend's affairs and get involved in some conspiracy.

"You have been chasing him for eight years, you should have discovered something, right? Don't deny it, I don't believe it~"

The great detective laughed and said, "I'm not going to deny it. I did find some interesting things, but..."

"But what? Why didn't you say anything?"

"This is not the right place~"

Yang Cheng looked at his family, and it was really inappropriate to say more, "How about this? Let's go back to the hotel later and let's have a cup of coffee together?"

"Okay, by the way, my consulting fee is US$100 per hour~"

Yang Cheng wanted to slap him, "Asshole, are you charging for this?"

"Of course, this is a business society~"

"Shit, 100 is 100, I still don't know your name?"

"Sherlock~"

"Holmes?"

"Come on, does Sherlock have to be paired with Sherlock Holmes?"

"if not?"

"Campbell, my name is Sherlock Campbell~"

"Wait, you're British?"

"how do you know?"

"Because Campbell has a noble surname~"

"Who said that? But my father is indeed from England, but he has nothing to do with the nobility~"

"I believe you are no longer a noble. Well, Sherlock, see you later. By the way, don't let the third person know about our conversation."

"Don't worry, I will keep the money secret~"

"I like how greedy you are~"

"Thank you, I think so too~"

. . .

On the way back to the hotel after paying homage, Yang Yuanshan was in a very low mood. It seemed that the death of his old friend had hit him hard.

Yang Cheng originally wanted to inquire about the past, but because of his grandfather's emotions, he did not speak out.

Back at the hotel, Yang Cheng asked Luo Yue to rest in the room and went downstairs to meet Sherlock Campbell in the coffee shop.

"This is $100~"

As soon as they met, Yang Cheng put 100 US dollars in cash on the table~

Sherlock twisted his fingers and flicked the paper, making a crisp sound. He said with an intoxicated look, "This is the most beautiful sound in the world~"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's time to get down to business~"

"His name is Li Quanfu, which is the name your grandfather told me, but I always doubt the authenticity of this name.

I don't know much about what happened back then, so I won't tell you about it. I will only say that the impression he has given me over the past eight years is that of mystery. There is no more accurate description than this.

His identity is mysterious, his movements are mysterious, and even his family is mysterious.

Let me tell you one thing and you will know. It was about 7 years ago that he disappeared from under my nose for the first time. At that time, he was working as a security guard in a gold shop in South Africa. It took me a year to find traces of him. , but he disappeared in just one week.

I still remember that it was a weekend. According to the rules, he should be on duty at the gold store, but I waited for more than an hour and he didn’t show up. I was still wondering if he was late when I suddenly noticed another colleague of his. After taking over his job, I couldn't help but show up and ask. It turned out that Li Quanfu resigned when he got off work the day before.

It happened so suddenly that I didn't react at all. It could be said that I just watched him disappear.

Later, I reviewed it, and I am sure that I was not exposed during that week, and I was never even seen face to face. "

Yang Cheng could see Sherlock's grievance, "Where were you monitoring?"

"The restaurant or cafe diagonally opposite the treasury changes to a different place every day."

"Okay, do you suspect that Li Quanfu has any secrets hidden in him?"

"I don't know, maybe it's related to an organization."

"I spent $100 to buy you an hour of your time. You must have something more important that you haven't said, right?"

Sherlock said helplessly, "It's hard to make money. Well, in the eight years since I followed Li Quanfu, I found that apart from his family and colleagues, he only had contact with one stranger.

Later, while he disappeared, I checked the stranger's background and found out that he was a professor at the University of Southern California~"

"What the hell? University professor?" Yang Cheng was confused for a while~

"Yes, this is not the most surprising thing. What makes me find it most incredible is that this professor seems to be involved in a well-known violent society in LA!"

"Huh? A violent society? A university professor is a society member?"

"Surprised, aren't you? But this is not a precedent. There is no so-called godfather in modern gangs. They develop more like a company. And almost every society that develops to a certain scale will hire think tanks and consultants to help them transform, or It’s to give them advice.”

Yang Cheng held his forehead with one hand. He knew what Sherlock said was right. You must know that modern American gangsters are not willing to be called gangsters by outsiders. Now on the streets of the United States, when someone talks about the "United Nations" gang, he may be referring to it. It is not the United Nations, but a gang organization composed of immigrants from many countries.

Nowadays, the names of many gangster societies may not look like bad elements at first sight like in Hollywood movies. They may also be "very creative", but no matter what their names are, they don't want to be called "gangsters" by others.

Since the United States began to develop in the West, various gangs began to be born. Even if the F~B~I attack with all their strength, there are still more than 20,000 large and small organizations and more than 1.4 million members wandering in the United States. of the underground world.

Among the national gang organizations in the United States, the relatively large ones include the Bloods Gang, the Crips Gang, the Gangster Disciples, the Latin American Kingdom, MS-13 and the Sulerno Gang.

Among them, the "Bloods Gang" and the "Crips Gang" are the two most powerful gangs in the United States, and they are also the most troublesome societies for F~B~I.

In F~B~I's files, these gangs have different names. In addition to the slightly scary names such as "Hell's Sons" and "Hell's Angels", "18th Street" does not refer to marijuana flowers, nor does "SHARP" RB Electric, of course, "Asian Boys", "Band of Brothers", and "Texas Syndicate" have nothing to do with underground bands. These weird names are all names given to themselves by American gang organizations.

Just like a burglar doesn't like being called a thief, and a gangster doesn't like being called a gangster, gangsters don't like being called "gangsters." These organizations usually believe that they are above the law. Hope their actions are remembered.

In order to increase their strength, these gangs are as interested in talents as the Fortune 500 companies. Of course, young people and foreign immigrants are their key "targets of attention."

It has become a "trend" for American gangs to use high technology and social networks to engage in criminal activities, and even monitor the actions of law enforcement agencies. In order to attract young people to join the organization, they use Facebook, INS, Twitter, headache apps, and even gaming platforms. tool.
