Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Gathering Informations
McKinsey Club.
On the outside, this place is a bar club that only entertains private members, but secretly, it is a high end underground casino.
It's quiet here during the day but becomes extremely lively at night.
A Lincoln sedan pulled into the parking lot, the parking lot is about two hundred meters away from the private club, and there are dozens of cars parked.
A middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the car, he had just come from his lover's place and was in a very good mood.
"I will win a lot tonight."
Just as he was closing the car door, two figures suddenly appeared behind him.
"Bang~!"
The wooden stick hit the man in a suit hard on the head, and the guy rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Matthew, you didn't beat him to death, did you?" Henry asked worriedly.
Matthew chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm professional."
The two guys moved very quickly. One searched him, and the other took out a rope from his body and tied the man up.
He stuffed a torn towel into his mouth and put a black cloth bag on his head.
His movements are extremely skillful, and he looks like a habitual criminal at first glance.
Open the trunk of the car and throw the piggy looking guy in.
After sorting out their suits, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the club. After walking a few dozen meters, Henry opened the guy's wallet under the street light.
Inside, the two found an exquisite card, which was the membership card of McKinsey Club , there is a name behind it.
He continued to search the wallet and found a few business cards.
Director of the Credit Department, City Bank of Los Angeles, Kevin Madion.
Henry patted the wallet and said to Matthew with a smile, "Kevin Madion will be my cousin from now on."
"It's so miserable to be your cousin," Matthew said with a smile.
There was a lot of cash in this guy's wallet. Henry looked at it and saw that it was more than three hundred dollars, which was really a lot.
When the two came to the door of the club, two tall guys stopped them and said, "Gentlemen, please show me your membership card."
Henry handed over Kevin Madin's membership card.
The doorman took the card and looked at it, then looked at Henry and said, "Sir, this is Mr. Madien's membership card. I know Mr. Madien."
"Kevin is my cousin. He said there was something fun here, so he gave this card to me to play, saying that I can go in with this card, is it not possible?" Henry frowned.
"So that's it. this two gentlemen, please come in." The strong man stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.
Henry and Matthew took two steps forward, then stopped and asked, "By the way, how do I get a membership card? If it's fun here, We'll get two too."
"A deposit of $1,000 and a membership fee of US$500 per year is enough. Enjoy the membership service." The strong man said.
Henry nodded. "Yeah, it's not to expensive." This guy was just pretending, he couldn't even take out a 100$.
Walking into the clubhouse with Matthew. The clubhouse is beautifully decorated and There are many guests.
Some are drinking coffee, and some are chatting at the bar. The women here are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. Henry and Matthew naturally know what they should do.
The two of them were not in a hurry and ordered two drinks at the bar, after observing the surroundings carefully.
Most of the topics people talk about here are about gambling. Some are happy when they win, and some pretend to be indifferent when they lose.
A young woman hugged an old man in his sixties in a suit and tie, and the two of them were talking about something to play as they walked forward.
The woman said it was better to bet big than small, and the old man smiled and said pocker was more interesting.
Henry and Matthew looked at each other, stood up, and followed the old man and the woman not far away, walking to the side passage together.
After walking down a few steps, they reached the ground floor and came to a door. Two bodyguards stood at the door. When they saw a guest coming, they opened the door.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, this is the most attractive part of McKinsey Club the underground casino.
The old man and the young woman went to exchange chips, and Henry and Matthew followed. while the old man exchanged chips, Henry and Matthew kept looking at the situation inside.
After passing the shopping window, they could see a lot of chips placed in the room behind the window, and the cash was put directly into the suitcase.
The moment the suitcase was opened, it was full of banknotes.
When it was their turn, Henry took out his cousin's wallet, which contained more than three hundred dollars, which he politely exchanged for chips, he and Matthew each tool half.
"Let's separate and observe the situation here while playing." Henry whispered.
"No problem." Matthew responded.
Three hours later, Henry and Matthew lost all their chips and had to get together and leave with their hands spread out.
Through these three hours of observation, the two obtained a lot of useful information.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they drove Henry's cousin Lincoln car away from the club to a newly rented yard in the lower city.
This yard turned out to be a small factory, located in a slum area in a territory controlled by Austrian gangs, The situation here is a bit complicated and very few police officers come to patrol around. Hardy plans to turn this place into a temporary base.
"Boss, the investigation is almost over."
Henry said this to Hardy with a smile after entering, then Henry and Matthew told Hardy the entire survey process in detail and also drew a simple drawing of the casino.
"The place where chips are exchanged is here, and the money is piled in the box inside." Matthew pointed to a room in the drawing.
"How many do you estimate there are?"
Henry thought for a while. "When we left, there were about a hundred people in the casino. It was the busiest time. I have been paying attention to the window for exchanging chips. The turnover is estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars."
At this time, Matthew thought of something.
"By the way, boss, when I was playing cards, I heard other gamblers chatting and said that there would be a blackjack contest the night after tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of people playing by then, and there will definitely be more cash by then."
A blackjack contest, Hardy also felt it was a good time.
"Okay, you two, rest well. We will discuss who to attack after Richard and Neil come back from their investigation." Hardy said.
As soon as Henry stood up, he suddenly thought of something.
"Boss, in order to sneak in, we arrested a person. He was the credit supervisor of a bank. Now that guy is still tied up in the trunk. What do you think we should do with him?" Henry asked.
Hardy was stunned "You even tied up a person?"
"That club has a membership system, so we have no choice but to use this method."
"I think we can just tie him up with a rock and throw him into the Los Angeles River." Matthew said next to him.
Hardy shook his head "We can do bad things, but we can't be bad people."
Matthew and Henry were both a little confused. Doesn't this mean the same thing?
Hardy looked at the two guys and said, "We are gangsters. We can rob, loan shark, sell illicit cigarettes and alcohol, and even kill people. But we only do these things to survive. The law of the jungle strong preys on the weak. This is also the case in the lawful business. But we can't kill people for no reason, that's to demonic and there is no redemption to that".
Henry and Matthew nodded somewhat understandingly.
"Then what should we do with that guy? Let him go now." Matthew asked.
"Of course we can't let him go."
Hardy objected directly.
"Throw him into the cellar first and tell him that he has been kidnapped and needs to pay a ransom before he can be released. We will release him after we finish the work."
Henry and Matthew blinked.
Does this make the boss a good person?
Hardy did this not to extort money but mainly to prevent him from revealing his whereabouts and to ensure the smooth completion of the operation.
