The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 197 Republican Banquet
"In other words, someone is following me?" Chen Zhengwei, who only learned the news at noon the next day, raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's a foreigner. I just don't know his identity! I have asked people to keep an eye on the foreigners in Chinatown!" Rong Jiacai said.

"With so many people, they can't catch one? What do they do for a living?" Chen Zhengwei cursed, then said:

"Keep the noise down, don't make it too loud, don't disturb the people who come here to play."

Today, Chinatown’s image has finally improved a little, and some tourists have started to come to Chinatown to play.

After these people leave, they will also tell others about what they have seen and heard.

Chen Zhengwei didn't want to scare them.

"If there are foreigners who want to stay or rent a house in Chinatown, check them quietly. Especially along the way from here to my house... Also, be alert in the casino to prevent anyone from bringing in explosives... If there is any problem, take them down first." Chen Zhengwei said as he thought.

He likes to shoot people with guns and throw explosives into people's houses, so this is always the first direction he considers.

At the same time, I was wondering who would want to kill me recently?
An Irishman? A cigarette factory owner? Or someone else?

A lot of people popped up in Chen Zhengwei’s mind. Damn, there were too many of them.

This is fucking infuriating.

"Notify Allen and Great Poland, and ask them to keep an eye out for any sneaky people!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.

He was not too worried. After all, he had the skill of keen insight. As long as there was anything wrong with the surrounding environment, he would be able to find it immediately.

And his carriage is also bulletproof.

However, anyone who dares to plot against me cannot be let go. I have to hang anyone I catch to deter others.

After Rong Jiacai left, Chen Zhengwei walked to the wall, took the dart from the dartboard, and walked a few meters away to play with darts.

After playing for a while, Chen Zhengwei's system panel suddenly popped up.

Chen Zhengwei took a look in surprise, only to find that there was an additional throwing level 0 in the skill list.

“Damn, he’s already used his dart throwing skills, but his own Cailifoquan isn’t even at level 0!” Chen Zhengwei immediately had a lot of opinions about Cailifoquan.

"But this skill is still somewhat useful!" Chen Zhengwei thought about it and found that it was indeed useful.

By raising the level, it can be used to throw grenades.

Now, of course, it's about throwing shells.

But the most important point is, if this skill is upgraded to LV4, what derivative skills will be produced?
Chen Zhengwei looked at his remaining skill point and then turned off the system.

……

Michael quickly found out that Congressman Anthony wanted to buy the newspaper.

Because after he took people to Anthony's house, he went straight to find Charles's wife.

"Has the murderer of my husband been found?" Mrs. Charles asked as soon as she saw Michael.

"Sorry, I haven't found it yet. I came here today to ask something about Councillor An Tusen."

"Congressman Antoinette..." Charles' wife was also shocked when she saw the news in the newspaper.

She had clearly talked to me about buying the newspaper two days ago and promised to help me put pressure on her to find the murderer of her husband. I didn't expect that he would be killed just a few days later.

"Yes, according to my investigation, he wanted to buy the newspaper left by Mr. Charles before he died. Can you tell me the details?" Michael asked after sitting down.

Mrs. Charles explained the situation and then said, "Councilman Antosen promised me that he would urge the arrest of the murderer who killed my husband. Could this be related to this matter?"

The more Mrs. Charles thought about it, the more she felt that there might be a connection. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

If this is the case, as long as the criminal who killed Congressman An Tusen is caught, can the murderer who killed her husband also be caught?

She didn't notice that Michael's expression became a little strange.

He knew why An Tusen died.

But how did Chen Zhengwei know about this? Did he arrange someone around Charles's wife?

Thinking of this, Michael carefully looked at the woman in front of him. She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had some charm, but that was all.

Michael's mind raced for a moment, and he changed the subject: "Besides Congressman An Tusen, who else wants to buy the newspaper?"

After getting the information he wanted, he asked again: "Did Mr. Antousen and Mr. Evans have any conflicts or unpleasantness?"

"I don't know..." Charles' wife shook her head.

The two men never appeared at the same time.

Michael got the news he wanted and was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Please wait a moment!" Mrs. Charles returned to the room, took out a few hundred dollars from the drawer of the table and stuffed them into Michael's pockets.

"Please find out who killed my husband."

Michael hesitated for a moment. He didn't understand why Chen Zhengwei arranged someone around Charles' wife, so he pushed the money back.

"It's a bribe, ma'am. I'll let you know if there's any news about your husband's case."

After Michael left, he did not rush back to the investigation bureau to report. Instead, he continued to investigate the relationship between Congressman An Tuson and other congressmen, as well as some of his business matters.

At the appointed time, Michael was called to Scannell's office.

"How's the case going?"

"After becoming a congressman, Congressman An Tusen used some means...his business expanded very quickly, which may have offended some people."

"Also, he recently wanted to buy a newspaper, and there was another person who wanted to buy the newspaper at the same time. Anthony won, but was shot dead shortly afterwards, so there may be some connection here."

Even though Scannell didn't have much experience in solving cases, after hearing this, he felt that this competitor might be a suspect, and immediately said:
"Follow this line first!"

"This person's identity is a bit puzzling..." Michael said. "Who is it?"

"Evan Scott, the major shareholder of United Steel Shipyard, also owns Eagle Mountain Iron Mine..." Michael shrugged, expressing his embarrassment.

After he said that, Scannell felt a little embarrassed.

Evan Scott, a wealthy man, may have a fortune of one million.

In San Francisco, he is a real big shot.

It's not easy to check such people.

"Besides purchasing the newspaper, are there any other clues pointing to him?"

"The person who did this was very professional and didn't leave any useful clues!" said Michael.

"More than a dozen professionals?" Scannell began to doubt Evan Scott after hearing this. After all, having more than a dozen professionals is not something that ordinary people can do.

Normally, when hiring a killer to kill someone, they wouldn't arrange so many people.

One or two are enough.

"Let's check the other direction first!" Scannell said.

If it was anyone else, he would have checked it, but for a wealthy man like Evans, he had to think twice.

……

In the next few days, Chinatown was tense inside and outside, especially when Chen Zhengwei went out.

But nothing was found.

However, the contact with the wine smugglers in Greater Poland was going smoothly. These people in the underground world are much smarter than others.

Soon the two sides reached an agreement that the wine they smuggled in would be sold by Greater Poland.

And the most important thing is that there are Chinese people behind Greater Poland.

It will only take Greater Poland a week at most to re-establish its complete sales channels.

At the same time, Chen Zhengwei also received another invitation to a banquet.

"Henry, I'm very happy to receive the invitation. Can I ask about the details?" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

All he knew was that it was a party related to the Republican Party.

"It's mainly to celebrate the New Year, and also to prepare for the general election in a few months. Some people who support the election will participate at that time. I think you might be interested!" Brown's smile was also very gentle.

The young Chinese in front of me has a great influence in the underground world of San Francisco.

Even Brown had heard of it.

So what he said is likely to come true.

Even 4,000 votes is a considerable number, and through this Chinese person, it is very likely to affect 10,000 or even 20,000 votes.

What's more, he is very rich and urgently needs to integrate into mainstream American society.

"I'll be ready!" Chen Zhengwei talked with Brown for a moment and then said goodbye.

After returning and thinking about it for a while, he decided to let Anna accompany him, thinking that an American woman would be more suitable than Lin Changning.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhengwei went to the bank.

Go directly to find the counter manager Noel.

"How have you been recently?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile as he sat down in Noel's office.

"It's not good. A colleague was seriously injured and I'm very worried about him." Noel had a smile on his face.

"Noel, the smile on your face betrays you!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

Noel also laughed, and then said: "After the New Year, the supervisor will return to the headquarters to report on his work. In about a month, the new appointment will be made. I will do what I promised you."

The idea of inquiring about the list of major clients of the Bank of California popped up in Chen Zhengwei's mind again and flashed through his mind.

"That's not why I came here today."

"On the one hand, I came to see you, and on the other hand, Anna wants to take a leave!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem!"

After a while, Anna changed her clothes and went out with Chen Zhengwei.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Is there something important?" Anna asked Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei pushed her into the carriage and said, "You need to prepare a dress. Time is very tight. We need to order it now."

"Dress? Are you going to the party?"

"Yes, it's a banquet within the Republican Party! Many wealthy people will go, and maybe even the new mayor of San Francisco!" Chen Zhengwei said with a laugh.

"Really?" Anna was suddenly filled with surprise and excitement. She hugged Chen Zhengwei's neck and kissed him twice on the face.

On the one hand, it was to be able to attend such a banquet, and the most important thing was that Chen Zhengwei took her to such a banquet.

This already explained a lot, and it filled her heart with a sense of joy and happiness.

Anna sat down next to Chen Zhengwei after a while, looked at him with a smile and said:

"I was so excited just now that I forgot to tell you that your new hairstyle is great!"
