The head of the Tarasov family, a Russian gang in New York, was arrested!
This news immediately made headlines in major New York media the next morning! And this news also made New York Chief Attorney Harvey Dent fall into ecstasy. →Harvey's first target is of course Kingpin, but Vigo is also very high in his arrest ranking. Now that Kingpin is missing, catching Vigo is also a major victory, because catching him means that he can completely eradicate the Russian gang that is ravaging New York in one fell swoop.
"I don't care what method you use! I want to get out! Now! Immediately!!!" Vigo is now screaming at his lawyer!
Vigo knows very well that since his vault was burned, his gang empire will face countless threats. Those officials and politicians who used him now want to disintegrate their power immediately, and let themselves die in prison unclearly!
The only chance now is to leave the police station quickly and go out to take charge of the overall situation. As long as he is still outside, his deterrent power still exists, and everything is still in time!
"Vigo... you know, this is impossible. You were caught by the police! No matter what we do, the police can detain you for 48 hours." Vigo's lawyer is also a big lawyer in New York. But whether they are big lawyers or not, they are all playing with the law. Although to a large extent, people like them are more likely to play with the law, no matter what, they must abide by some rules. For example, the police have the right to detain suspects for 24 hours, and the detention period can be extended to 48 hours in special circumstances.
Unfortunately, Vigo is that special case, and the local prosecutor readily approved the request to extend the detention time.
So, Vigo must stay in the police station for the next 40 hours!
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I spent so much money to invite you here, not to listen to you say these things! I want to get out! Do you understand!" Vigo doesn't care about these, he wants to leave this damn place!
Vigo is still incompetent and furious here, and in the interrogation room on the other side, Kai is sitting opposite Marcus.
"Have you thought about it? Are you willing to help me nail Vigo?"
Marcus is undoubtedly the most favorable evidence for the police, because he is a victim and knows a lot of evidence of Vigo's crimes.
"I don't know anything, how can I help you?"
Unexpectedly, Marcus was not as willing to cooperate as others imagined. He didn't know anything about all the questions. This made the case suddenly deadlocked. If Marcus still said this in court, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to bring Marcus down.
"Come on, Marcus, I know what you do. I also know that you don't have much time to live. Cooperate with me to solve Vigo, which is good for you and us."
After taking Marcus back to the police station, the police quickly investigated Marcus's detailed information. The information showed that Marcus was already in the late stage of lung cancer. Not only that, the cancer cells were also spreading, and he only had three months to live at most. "I know you are John's friend. And Vigo's son was killed by John. What do you think Vigo will do after he gets out?"
"Didn't you say that all the black materials that Vigo threatened those officials and politicians in New York were burned? Now so many people are eager for him to die, why should I take risks?"
What Marcus really fears is not Vigo. → Killers and gangs are actually two different worlds. Although they always interact, they are not actually closely related. What he really fears is the high table behind Vigo! The high table does not allow betrayal.
Marcus has done things for Vigo, and these things can make Vigo spend his life in prison. But the problem is that these things are all released through the high table. If Vigo is betrayed, it will inevitably betray the high table! Marcus knows the horror of the high table.
"But the problem is that Vigo is not so easy to die!" Kai did not lie. There are indeed many people outside who want to kill Vigo. Maybe Vigo can't be killed, that's another matter. The Tarasov family is certainly glorious in New York, but their real main body is not in New York, their roots are in Russia!
In other words, as long as Vigo returns to Russia, everything can start over again.
"Don't forget, Vigo is Russian. As long as he returns to Russia, it will not be difficult for him to retaliate against John. After all, as long as he offers a sufficient price, many people will be willing to help him kill John."
Marcus' eyes flashed, knowing that things would not be so easy to settle.
"Isn't the current evidence enough to accuse him?"
"Please, this is your first day living in the United States? Rich people have many ways to get away with it. Besides, your attitude is simply helping him. Although we can detain him for 48 hours, it will be hard to say after 48 hours."
Marcus thought about it for a long time. Originally, he was still thinking about keeping his life, after all, three months of life is also life. But now it seems that he doesn't have the blessing to enjoy three months of life.
"Then what do you want to know?" Marcus finally let go.
On the other side, Vigo's deputy was also persuaded by Joe! Unlike Vigo, he is a New Yorker and he has no way out.
When Harvey received the news, he jumped up with excitement!
No one expected that things would go so smoothly! He got the latest evidence and went directly to the New York court to apply for Vigo's bail to be denied!
…
New Jersey. John Wick poured dog food into the dog bowl at his feet
"Winston... Police station? How is that possible?!!" John finally returned to his home with injuries all over his body and a dog. He picked up this dog from a pet shelter when he passed by. He felt that he still needed a dog. This dog is very well behaved. It hardly barks, just plays by itself in the house, and can understand many commands.
People can't help but touch its square head.
But just as he put the dog down, the phone rang.
It was Winston, the manager of the New York branch of the Continental Hotel. He and Winston are old friends, and Winston admires John very much.
And what Winston said was that Marcus and Vigo were taken to the police station at the same time.
And Winston also got the latest news that the police have applied to the court for Vigo not to be granted bail!
Although the court has not given a clear answer yet, according to Winston's insider information, this request will most likely be approved. In other words, Vigo is basically finished! After all, he is not allowed to be released on bail, which means that the police have obtained key evidence!
So the mechanism of the high table began to work.
Vigo's Tarasov family is not one of the twelve families of the High Table, but it is also an extremely important force in the High Table. The High Table will not allow anyone inside the High Table to betray him.
"I know." Winston did not say much, at least told him that Marcus was in the police station, and then the police got evidence about Vigo. There is no need to say too much about what happened next, Marcus is in danger!
Once it is confirmed that Marcus betrayed Vigo to the police, Marcus will be on the blacklist of the High Table, and then he will naturally enter the erasure mode. Countless High Table killers will swarm in, and Marcus will be in danger.
"Book me a room, I will be in New York for the night soon."
Just checked out and went home, and now he has to go back to the Continental Hotel... John now understands why people like him can never escape the fate of killers.
John has no time to waste, he took his dog and drove to New York City.
Just three minutes after John left, more than a dozen luxury cars came to his door.
One of the cars just stopped at the roadside not far in front of him. The back door opened, a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out, and a white man in his thirties came out of the car. He looked greasy and powdered, and he was not a good guy at first glance.
Soon a group of black-clad bodyguards quickly dispersed around and protected the man firmly.
He looked at John's house and frowned.
"John is not at home?"
A woman with a heroic look walked up, knocked on the door, and then turned around and made a gesture to the man.
Meaning that no one was at home.
"Go check! See where John went!"
The woman nodded, and then as the man returned to the car in a rage, the convoy quickly left John's house.
What John didn't know was that he had just escaped inexplicably.
...
New York, Continental Hotel.
Winston met John.
"How is it?" John was not very good at small talk. After saying that, John pushed out a stack of gold coins. This is not an ordinary gold coin. In fact, in the outside world, this kind of gold coin can only be used as a precious metal product at most, but in the dark world, this kind of gold coin is the most circulated hard currency. Most of the services in the dark world recognize gold coins, not people. This thing is better than the US dollar!
"Not good, the headquarters has begun to suspect, I believe that Marcus' name will appear in the task list soon." Winston glanced at the gold coin, without any action, just said solemnly. Winston is a gentle old man, a standard gentleman. It is hard to believe that such an old man is the largest killer agent in the United States.
But it is not accurate to say so.
He is the manager of the Continental Hotel. Under normal circumstances, he will not intervene in any killer mission.
Although the Continental Hotel belongs to the High Table, it also has its own independence. Simply put, the Continental Hotel is a supporting organization of the High Table. The High Table + the Continental Hotel have formed a relatively complete economic system in the dark world.
The currency in this system is the high-table gold coins. Just as paper money is not linked to the value of the paper itself, the gold coins used in the mainland hotel are not the value of the gold itself. It actually represents a "credit", a "relationship", and is a currency that is popular in the dark world.
The so-called currency is a contract between the owner of a property and the market on the right of exchange, which is essentially an agreement between the owners. The gold coins of the mainland hotel naturally have the basic attributes of currency. It is an exchange contract of "relationship", a common agreement between the issuer, the high-table, and many participants. Just as the country cannot issue currency without limit and collapse the economic system, the gold coins of the mainland hotel cannot be produced casually. For every gold coin, someone needs to contribute his "relationship" to serve the dark world.
Therefore, the mainland hotel is not a killer platform, but a dark trading platform in a broader sense.
Killing is just one of the services.
Other things such as arms, equipment, intelligence, various professional items, and even male (female) professional services can be purchased with gold coins. As long as you can afford the price, it is better than the US dollar.
"What should I do?" John asked anxiously.
"Take Marcus out of the police station or kill him before the high table issues the bounty!" Winston said calmly. "Otherwise, once the bounty is issued, it will be too late. You should know that the high table does not allow betrayal."
John was silent for a moment, then pushed the pile of gold coins in front of Winston: "I need detailed information."
This time Winston did not refuse.
The news just now was given by Winston based on friendship, but specific information cannot be done in this way. After all, the Continental Hotel is a rigorous system. If he wants to maintain the uniqueness of the Continental Hotel, he must act according to the rules.
"One more piece of advice, it's best not to think about rescuing Marcus. There is a character in the police station who is not easy to mess with. If you offend him, the consequences will be serious."
"Who?"
"Iron Patriot...Kai Wayne."
John turned his head to look at Winston. He was not isolated from the world, and he had naturally heard of Kai Wayne's name.
But he still greeted with a smile.
Why would a superhero go to the police station?
Winston made a helpless expression: "God knows."
John nodded, not commenting on this. Even if God was there, he would rescue Marcus.
Soon the intelligence prepared by Winston was delivered to John. After reading it, John did not say much, but took out the gold coins again. He needed to change clothes!
It happened that the Continental Hotel was doing this business. Soon, various weapons and bulletproof suits were delivered to John, and then John disappeared.
No one knew where he went.
But what's interesting is that just as John left, the man who had gone to John's house to find John appeared at the Continental Hotel again.
…
"Long time no see, Santino! Shouldn't you be in Rome at this time? Why are you here?"
"For John." Santino said simply and clearly.
Winston is also an old and smart man. In an instant, he guessed Santino's thoughts.
"I don't think John can help you."
Santino came to the Camorra family, one of the twelve masters of the high table. He is the son of the current Camorra family patriarch. Well, he will be the former patriarch soon, because the news shows that the patriarch of the Mora family is now in the intensive care unit waiting for death. Soon.
However, according to the will of the Mora family patriarch, he left the seat of the high table to his eldest daughter, Gianna Dantonio. And Santino, as the youngest son, is not at peace at all.
Almost everyone knows... he wants the position of the head of the family!
What will he do when he finds John at this time? Anyone with a brain can guess it.
"Everyone must abide by the rules of the high table."
According to the rules of the high table, no one is allowed to harm the twelve masters of the high table! Otherwise, they will be hunted down by the entire high table!
"I know, of course I know!" Santino showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, and didn't take Winston's warning to heart at all!
Winston's heart skipped a beat.
Santino is not a fool. Why did he go to John when he knew it was impossible?
Winston soon thought of a piece of information that had been ignored.
When John retired, in exchange, Vigo proposed a mission that was impossible to complete. As a condition for retirement, he killed Kingpin's chief killer, Night Stalker! Everyone thought that John was destined to fail, but no one guessed that John really completed it! That led to John's retirement.
That mission has been studied by all parties, who want to know how John completed it.
Winston knows a little more, and Santino played an important role in the evidence.
"Blood Oath Badge!" Winston said solemnly.
Santino smiled and did not answer directly: "Where is John?"
