Chapter 597: Camorra Gang

Gao Fei ordered the Celestial Bull to guard the two unconscious clients, then turned around and gave Pearl a signal.

Pearl shook his eyes, threw the female killer to the ground, relaxed the chokehold, and allowed her to resume breathing.

The female killer gasped for air and looked at Gao Fei approaching, her eyes filled with horror.

"Who sent you here?" Gao Fei asked calmly.

In fact, he didn't know whether this assassination was a premeditated plan against him.

It is presupposed in advance that someone is instigating the other party behind the scenes, and pretending to have seen through the conspiracy is just a trick to force a confession.

The system prompts you to make a DC12 "Intimidation" or "Persuasion" check. If you pass the check, you can successfully extract a confession.

The "Warlock Mask" comes with the "Persuasion" skill, and the "Paladin Mask" comes with the "Intimidation" skill.

Gao Fei also conducted an effective torture before extracting a confession, so he had an advantage in the test and passed it easily.

"It's the Camorra..." the female killer replied tremblingly, "The three of us are members of the Camorra gang. The boss ordered the three of us to follow your carriage and try to get rid of you..."

Camorra Gang?

This answer is a bit unexpected.

Gao Fei opened the astrolabe and quickly searched the game background settings. He learned that the so-called Camorra Gang, also known as the "Camorra Family", is the most powerful gang in Pattus Street after the "Street Angels" .

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Of course, the relationship between two major gangs in the same neighborhood is very tense.

In order to compete for territory, the two gangs often clashed.

"I have nothing to do with the Camorra Gang, why does your boss want to kill me?" Gao Fei then asked.

The female killer shook her head weakly.

"I don't know... I really don't know. The boss gave the order and we are ordered to do things. How dare we ask more..."

Gao Fei observed her expression and felt that she was not lying.

This kind of killer who is at the bottom of the gang is indeed unlikely to understand the boss's mind.

Gao Fei is now not sure whether the assassination he suffered today was caused by the Jones family's inheritance dispute, or whether he was passively involved in the dispute between the two gangs, the "Street Angels" and the "Camorra Family"?

After all, as a member of the "Street Angels" and an important figure who often appears around Umberto, he is indeed qualified to be on the blacklist of hostile forces.

Just as Gao Fei was thinking secretly, footsteps came from the alley.

"Brother Musk, why is it you?" Mario Ricardo ran over with a group of gang brothers.

"I heard gunshots here just now. Brother Musk, are you okay?" Mario asked with concern.

"Mr. Mario, I'm fine. There are three killers from the Camorra Gang here. I leave it to you. You'd better help me figure out why the Camorra Gang specially sent people to assassinate me."

Gao Fei said in a deep voice.

Mario's face also darkened and he nodded heavily.

"Brother, don't worry! I have plenty of ways to make them talk!"

"I'll excuse you here, Mr. Mario. I'm going to the tavern first. See you later."

Saying goodbye to Mario Ricardo, Gao Fei picked up the pistol that the female killer dropped on the ground, put it in his pocket, left this dark alley filled with the smell of blood, and walked towards the "Paradise Tavern" at the end of the street.

Pushing open the door of the tavern, the familiar noisy atmosphere rushed into my face.

Goofy greeted the gang brothers along the way, passed through the crowd, sat down at the bar, and ordered a lemon soda.

"Brother Umberto, sister Claire, good evening."

"Musk, you smell of blood..." The animal tamer girl held a bright red "Bloody Mary" in her hand, sniffed, and looked at Gao Fei with concern, "Just now we heard gunshots coming from the alley at the end of the street. Are you okay?"

Gao Fei smiled and shook his head, and then briefly recounted the assassination incident he had just encountered.

"The Camorra Gang?" Umberto frowned deeply, "Strange, those crazy people who smuggled opium, maybe they smoked too much, so why did they cause trouble for you?"

"From Patus Street to Arsi Street, there are opium dens in all the neighborhoods where foreign immigrants gather. Most of the opium dens are either directly operated by the Camorra Gang or provide supplies. They rely on this kind of dirty business. Make a fortune,” Claire added.

In modern countries, as soon as the process of urbanization and industrialization begins, as the unemployed population of the middle and lower classes in the city surges, and slums and gang crime become a common social reality, the industry surrounding "addictive substances" will naturally grow rapidly. swell.

The Kingdom of Feizhen is no exception.

Parliament has also enacted laws prohibiting drugs, smoking and even alcohol, but it has been difficult to enforce them.

Banning tobacco and alcohol will only cause the price of tobacco and alcohol on the black market to skyrocket, enriching smugglers, and the national fiscal revenue will suffer.

Later, controls on tobacco and alcohol were relaxed, allowing free trade.

The harm of drugs is too great. Taking into account the public health and social impact, the authorities dare not completely relax the control, but cannot prohibit it. Finally, a compromise plan is introduced, which is the so-called "Addictive Substance Monopoly Regulations."

According to the regulations, only a number of colonial companies authorized by the king and parliament had the right to import opium from the opium-rich Eastern colonies.

Only legally operated hospitals, clinics and pharmacies can sell addictive drugs such as laudanum as prescription drugs with the signature of a professional physician.

These control regulations are actually just a formality.

In reality, opium smuggling is still rampant, and it is not difficult to buy opium tincture by forging prescriptions or bribing doctors.

Moreover, in all the slums where immigrants gather and there are all kinds of people, there are opium dens disguised as public bathrooms, and the police can't control them at all.

Due to the moral cleanliness of Umberto, the leader, "Street Angels" did not directly intervene in the opium trafficking business.

However, Umberto was not so noble or naive as to try to carry the banner of drug prohibition. He acquiesced to the opium dens operating on his territory and just paid protection fees.

Most of the opium dens were backed by the Camorra family. How could they be willing to pay protection fees to "Street Angels"?

In this way, contradictions emerged.

Because of this fundamental conflict of interest, the two gangs have fought openly and secretly for many years.

"I am not interested in intervening in the opium business, and I have never collected protection fees in the opium dens. God knows why the Camorra gang is against me!" Gao Fei shrugged and spread his hands aggrievedly.

"Could it be because of something else?" Claire reminded Gao Fei, "Have you offended anyone recently, or intervened in someone's affairs?"

"That's possible. Four days ago, I took a business deal to help a wealthy widow protect the inheritance left by her husband."

Gao Fei got to the point.
