Chapter 164 Yuri's Little Thoughts
For the past few days, in the newspapers of Atlantic City, a famous resort city in the eastern United States, a horrific murder case continues to occupy the front pages of local newspapers. Bayi?? Chinese = ≠ = ≤ The local people continue to pay attention to this case, because among the victims of this case are three people who can cause earthquakes by stomping their feet in this city. They are these The owner of several large casinos in the city.
Since the case was late at night, and the location was not a key area where rich people gather. The police didn't arrive at the location of the crime until the early morning of the next day - an Irish-style barbecue rib restaurant. But when the police arrived, the scene was completely burned to the ground, and the firefighters who fought all night destroyed the scene. The technicians of the police station no longer expect to find anything of value from the scene. The only thing that could be seen at the scene were three burnt and sticky charred corpses.
The police believed that the murderer seemed to be very experienced, and he did not pretend to be suspicious like those prisoners in crime novels, faking the incident as an accident. The murderer neatly burned the scene of the crime to nothingness. Although the police found traces of arson, they had no idea and no evidence to prove who did it. For a moment, it seemed that all the clues were broken. So the police could only find another way to start with the social relations of the three deceased.
The pair of Yuri and Ivankov are not worried about the progress of the police investigation. They have returned to Taj Mahal to deal with their own business.
Yuri is now able to stand up from the wheelchair and walk slowly with crutches. However, he also knew that it would be problematic to appear in front of employees with such an image, so during this period of time, Ivankov has been patrolling the casino in place of Yuri every day.
But now there are still two things waiting for Yuri to handle in person. The first thing is that those Mexican gangsters will send an important person here to talk about cooperation. Yuri attaches great importance to this matter. This is an opportunity he has struggled for since he came to the United States. If he can successfully receive business from these Mexicans, then Yuri can contribute a stable and lucrative income to the Gorky Gang. Yuri is absolutely Won't let myself miss this opportunity.
And the second thing is the arrival of Seryozha, is he still on crutches? How to explain seeing Seryozha? Yuri had been suppressing this matter before and didn't tell Sergesha. First, he was afraid that Sergey would be worried, and second, he was afraid that Sergey would think that the risk here was too great, so he would retreat.
Several Soviet fellows who participated in the arson operation that night were all left behind by Yuri. After this catastrophe, Yuri has deeply understood that he must have a certain counterattack ability in his hands to deter his opponents. In the past, Yuri had always been fighting alone. Although he wanted to form a team at that time, he suffered from the lack of talents to assist him. Now that Ivankov is here, he has pointed out a new way for Yuri to find talents, which is to hire those smugglers who are hiding in the Russian community and making a living.
Seryozha told Yuri that he still has some things to deal with these days, and he will come to Atlantic City to meet him when everything is almost done. But Seryozha still knew what Yuri was thinking. He asked Terkina to go out first and came here ahead of schedule. At this moment, Yuri was holding a bouquet of delicate flowers, and was standing in front of his hotel, waiting for Terkina's arrival.
A yellow taxi slowly stopped in front of Yuri, and after a while, the door was opened. Terkina got out of the car. Said to Yuri: "Hey! Dude, have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just came down too!" Yuri said while passing the bouquet over. Terkina seemed very happy after receiving the flowers. She smelled the fragrance of the flowers and looked at Yuri with a smile.
The doorman of the hotel took down Terkina's luggage, and they would take it back to Terkina's room. And Yuri couldn't wait to take Jerkina to visit the Taj Mahal, which he was proud of.
"Wow! This place is really...really good!" Terkina walked into the lobby of the hotel, and Terkina was surprised by the magnificent decoration inside. It's not like the hotel she stayed in in New York. It is often decorated with pure gold, which looks like a royal palace, plus a unique Indian style. Terkina fell in love with it at once.
"How much did it cost to buy this place!" Terkina asked curiously.
"I don't remember, it's an astronomical figure anyway! But Seryozha said that this investment is still very cost-effective!" Yuri replied.
Terkina nodded in agreement, and then took Yuri's arm generously. However, she noticed that Yuri seemed to be supporting the crutch with one arm, so she asked worriedly, "Yuri, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you were injured?"
"It's nothing, Terkina! I had a car accident a while ago, and I'm almost fine now!" Yuri replied without changing his expression.
"There was a car accident, why! Did you drive after drinking again?" Terkina asked a little angrily.
"No, it was just an accident. There's nothing to talk about. It's over!" Yuri tried his best to change the subject, and then Yuri brought Jerkina to the lobby of the Taj Mahal Casino. Walking into the hall, Terkina was eye-opened by the noisy scene inside. Near the gate, there are mainly games with small bets. The further you go inside, the greater the bet amount. Terkina wandered among them, as if she had come to an imaginary world.
"Do you want to play two games next?" Yuri asked.
"No, I don't really like gambling! I just like the lively appearance here, but it feels a little unreal, like a dream!" Terkina said.
"Actually, this place belongs to all of us, and you can be regarded as one of the bosses here. If you like it, I will tell Seryosha and bring you to the United States!" Yuri said with some expectation.
"That's a good idea, but I still have to take care of my mother! By the way, what else is there to do besides the casino?" Terkina changed the subject.
"There's a spa upstairs that seems to be pretty good, I can show you there!" Yuri continued. The two quickly left the casino and walked into the elevator.
At the moment there were only Yuri and Terkina in the elevator, and Yuri looked at the beauty in front of him. He cheered himself up in his heart, and said to himself, "Yuri, can't you be braver!"
"Why aren't you talking!" Terkina asked suddenly, turning her head.
"I... I was wondering what kind of person would be worthy of you!" Yuri asked bravely.
Terkina froze for a moment, and after a few minutes, Terkina began to look at Yuri and smile without saying a word.
Did he understand something? Yuri guessed anxiously.
