Compared to the western gangs who almost solely rely on "robbery" to earn income, Most of the gangs that are parasitic in the city and are able to develop into a large scale or survive for a long time have their own "industry". This is not to say that urban gangs don't rob or collect protection money. But if they only rely on these, they usually cannot grow and develop. This contains a simple arithmetic problem - It is known that the average factory price of an ordinary revolver is about 13 to 15 US dollars, and ordinary hunting rifles are even cheaper. If gang members come to collect high protection fees for a long time, some people will not be able to maintain their normal life. So how many shots might someone fire at them? There is no unified answer to this question. Some poor people will choose to use up almost all their bullets and only keep the last bullet for themselves.
Some may form new gangs. But anyway, The gangs in the city dare not go too far in this regard. Even some big gang leaders choose to maintain good relations with their neighbors. After all, if you ruin other people's lives, Then people will always buy a gun faster than the gang develops a reliable member. The Carter Gang, which Miss Harrison's gangster brother joined, It is a gang that makes money mainly by operating casinos and lending, and also by opening bars and selling stolen goods. On the way to the private clinic in the carriage, When I heard that Wayne and Lina had discussed how to cut the customer flow of the other party's casino and reduce the turnover of the bar, and even how to blow up the other party's safe and take away the "stolen money\ ,"Even Miss Harrison couldn't help but ask weakly, "You are a legitimate detective agency...right?" "certainly." Lina turned around and said with a confident and sunny smile, "Don't worry, we are very professional and will not be caught by the gang members." Then she turned her head back and continued to explain to Wayne where those huge underground vaults were generally hidden. Miss Harrison nodded, not quite understanding. At least on the "professional" question of "how to determine the location of the underground vault by observing the exterior of the building\ ,"The qualities that Lina showed were indeed very strong... … Compared with the steel merchant, the butler was in pretty good condition.
When Wayne and his friends arrived at the clinic, although the butler's head was wrapped in bandages and looked like an "Indian" in Wayne's impression, he could at least open his eyes and speak. He could even walk upright with help from someone. Therefore, after bringing the butler back to the manor, Miss Harrison could only temporarily assign a butler to be the "assistant butler" to help complete the tasks that should have been the butler's responsibility during the butler's recuperation. Mr. Sheen is quite active. At least the food provided to Wayne and his team that night had significantly more meat in it. Just a few of the servants seemed unhappy. Inesa came over in the evening to take over Lina's shift. The three of them made a preliminary decision and decided that the next time Miss Harrison "had to" go out would be at least next week, but her bedridden father might not be able to make it until next week. So if that gangster brother can't hold back, The next step might be to send someone into the manor to take action. It is indeed necessary to make them feel a certain amount of pressure to avoid making security too passive. As for robbing the gangster casino vault, Wayne and Lina actually mostly joked about it when they first talked about it. After all, although the plan sounds interesting, it would cause too much noise in the city or use explosives, and the police would not be able to turn a deaf ear to it no matter what. Don't do the last operation. The gang was not destroyed, but "Wayne Detective Agency" became the code name of an interstate criminal organization listed on the wanted list. However, the other side was faster. Since the evening, unexpected things happened one after another in the manor. First, two servants who usually worked part-time as security guards asked for leave one after another, and then some servants gave Wayne and his friends the feeling that something was wrong. Even the food provided to the bodyguards was found to be problematic. Fortunately, everyone is quite professional. After they realized there was a problem, they quietly reminded each other, pretended to eat a few bites, and then showed off their skills and secretly disposed of the food. Looking at the hunting dogs in the manor, they seemed a little droopy. Wayne and the others were ready, just waiting for the fish to jump out by itself. According to the drug analysis of the mouse Peter caught, The bodyguards soon began to pretend to yawn, and then closed their eyes to rest. After that, they caught the turtle in the jar and followed the clues to arrest a servant who was a spy and a five-member gangster team with weapons. The servant's original plan was to knock everyone unconscious and then quietly stab Miss Harrison with a dagger. Then the story becomes, "I'm sorry, miss. I was coerced, too." After further questioning, Wayne learned that her husband and son were kidnapped by Carter's gang. He then took a few men to ambush at the so-called "meeting point after the incident."
After all, the other party is a gang, so it is understandable that they would do things like kidnapping, extortion, and coercion. But the gangster who caused the "car accident" and left the butler unable to walk upright on his own until now was also inside, which made Wayne feel uncomfortable. Wayne frowned, "You got out so soon? Did someone pay your bail, or did some big shot speak for you?" The other party seemed to be fearless: "I don't understand what you are talking about." Wayne asked the servant again, "Are you willing to go with us to the police station to testify against them for kidnapping your family and threatening you?" The other party lowered his head, not daring to look Wayne in the eye: "I'm sorry, sir. I just want to live a stable life with my family." Hmm... The power of these people in the local area is even greater than imagined... But he was stopped on the spot when he was about to stab someone with a dagger. If you want to get away with it with just a simple "I'm sorry", then it will be very difficult to be a good person. … Wayne decided to give the local police another chance to trust him. The next morning, Wayne picked a time when there were relatively dense crowds of people. Witnessed by several newspaper reporters contacted by Miss Harrison, he walked half a block holding a string of candied haws and entered the police station again. Several gang members were tied up with ropes and chained together, with slogans stuck behind their collars. It says on the top: "We are members of the Carter Gang." "We were arrested at the scene of the kidnapping." “We all have tattoos (symbols drawn on them) that identify us.” “We don’t even spare 5-year-olds!” “I managed to leave the police station without bail after being charged with premeditated murder.” Several reporters came with their own daguerreotype cameras to take pictures. Wayne had already read the manuscript. They are titled "The Righteous Wayne National Detective Agency Declares War on the 'Carter Gang'", "Exclusive Revelation: The Whole Story of the Carter Gang's Downfall", and "Kidnapping, Murder, Coercion, How Many Crimes Did the Carter Gang Commit?" These reports may not necessarily be officially published in the city's tabloids, but it would not be a big problem to print them into flyers and distribute and post them everywhere. ——It would have been fine if she had encountered a "car accident" during the day, but she was almost stabbed to death by her own servant at night. The young lady felt that she had been wronged and wished that everyone in the world knew about it. By the way, in the local tabloids that can be bought at this time today, a soft article about the "Wayne National Detective Agency" has been published on the top. It looks like a formal and in-depth interview report, but in fact it is advertising space.
Wayne walked into the office of the investigating police officer and briefly displayed the side of today's newspaper with his own advertisement, the letter of introduction signed by the state senator, and the charter with the church logo. In fact, he only gave the other party a quick glance at the charter and put it away, telling them, "This is the charter signed by the Bishop himself for our detective agency." As for which bishop signed it or what the content is, don't worry about it. Then Wayne cleared his throat: "I am only raising this question on behalf of my client, Miss Andrea Harrison, a local legal resident - can a criminal who should theoretically still be in custody be released on bail after being arrested for another crime?"
