Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots completely broke the tranquility of Atlantic City in the morning. On the boardwalk, all the pedestrians were frightened by the two gunshots. Some people were so frightened that they hid behind a certain object, and some people

Then he just lay down on the ground...

Of course, some people carefully followed the direction of the gunfire and looked over.

Then they saw a man throwing another man who had been shot out of the car, and then driving the car towards the north.

.

Near noon, Nucky had finished his reception this morning and called Joe.

Just when Nucky was about to tell Joe what to do when he saw Donnie this afternoon, his study door was pushed open. Nucky's study is not just for anyone who wants to come in. Those who want to seek help from him can't come in.

Those who help can only come in after being informed by Louis.

There are only a few people in Atlantic City who can come in without notification.

When Louis heard the sound of the door opening, he subconsciously looked towards the door. At the same time, his right hand had reached his waist, ready to take out his gun at any time.

When he saw clearly who was coming, his tense body instantly relaxed.

"Nucky, something happened. George Korle was just shot dead in the street by his assistant Bill Cody!"

Nucky's brother, Atlantic City Sheriff Eli Johnson, was wearing a brown uniform and shouted with a complicated expression.

Nucky, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but stand up when he heard the news.

"Really?"

"I have already gone to the scene to see it, and I also found a witness at the scene. It was Bill Cody who did it!"

Eli Johnson quickly told Nucky what happened at the scene.

Nucky stood there blankly. This was indeed a big deal. George Korler was the vanguard of the Brigadier General's return to Atlantic City. Now that George Korler was shot dead in the street, this is bound to cause turmoil in the entire Atlantic City.

The most important thing is...

According to the current situation, the person most likely to do this is Nucky, and in the eyes of outsiders, the only one who can mobilize Bill Cody to do this is Nucky!

"Where's Rivers? Have you gone to Bill Cody's house? Is there anyone else at home?"

Asking three questions without taking a breath also shows Nucky's inner excitement at this time.

Eli replied: "Rivers has disappeared. My people have gone to several places where he often goes, but they have not seen him. Some people said that he was staying at the Bright Pension Apartment last night, but there was no trace of him there.

There is no trace of him.

My people also went to Bill Cody’s home, but there was no one there. The school where Bill Cody’s son went to also said that his son did not come to class today!”

After all, Nucky is the underground emperor of Atlantic City. After a brief panic, he has returned to normal and sat back in his chair.

"This thing is a bit strange. I suspect that someone is deliberately provoking a head-on struggle between us and the brigadier general. We must find out!"

Eli sat opposite Nucky and said in a deep voice: "I believe the Brigadier General has received the news by now. What should we do next?"

Nucky thought for a moment and said: "Call Bacharach immediately. I need to think about this matter carefully!"

Bacharach, the mayor of Atlantic City, will serve until next year!

And he was able to become the mayor of Atlantic City precisely because of Nucky's support.

Eli took a hard sip of whiskey, then stood up and said, "I'm going to arrange for people to search Bill Cody and Ralph Rivers now. As long as we find them, we will know the truth of the matter!"

Nucky first nodded in agreement, and then said: "Do some research and see what big names have come to Atlantic City recently."

In Nucky's view, the person who can provoke him into a head-on conflict with the Brigadier must be someone who wants to reap the benefits, and such a person must have the same strength.

Eli expressed his understanding and left Nucky's study.

At this time, Louis suddenly said: "Boss, could it be Downey who did this? After all, now that George Korler is dead, his Korler Tavern will be saved!"

This is the situation where Nucky and Louis are in different positions and have different assumptions about the same thing. Nucky is in a high position. Although he is very interested in Downey, in any case, in his eyes, Downey is just

A little person.

Even though he had indeed designed Downey to kill George Korle before, but now that this happened, his first thought was still those who could talk to him on an equal footing.

Louis is different. He is a small person himself, so he doesn't think about people who are too high-level.

Louis' reminder at this time gave Nucky another idea, but in the end Nucky rejected Louis' proposal, "It is unlikely. If George Kuhl strangled him to death when Downey just returned to Atlantic City, his suspicion

Undoubtedly the biggest, but now just for a tavern, Downey wants to kill George Korler? This reason is a bit far-fetched.

In addition, strictly speaking, Downey is not from Atlantic City. He only stayed in Atlantic City for a month. How could Bill Cody kill George Kuller for him?

This doesn’t fit with Bill Cody’s logic for doing this!”

After hearing this, Louis nodded. Since the boss said so, it couldn't be Donnie who did this!

"Go and bring Downey here!"

Although Nucky denied that Downey had done this, he still wanted to see Downey's reaction with his own eyes. He believed in his own judgment of people.

Donny Bullock is just a 23-year-old young man. If he arranged this matter, he would definitely be able to see something in his expression.

Soon, Donnie, who looked decadent, followed Joe to Nucky's study.

"Dear Mr. Nucky, would you like to ask how your loan is going now?"

Downey sat across from Nucky and complained: "I had already negotiated with Horry from the Blue Ocean Tavern, but the other party actually raised the price at the last moment. I really doubt whether he got any information?"
p>

Nucky sat there and looked at Donnie quietly. At this time, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"By the way, Mr. Nucky, if you can, I hope you can lend me another thousand dollars, and I will repay it according to the date of the last loan and the interest!"

Downey continued.

Nucky asked noncommittally: "Didn't you say that Horry didn't sell his tavern to you? Why do you continue to borrow money?"

Downey spread his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Obviously, George Korler should have gotten some tips from his father. He found me three days ago and wanted to buy back his tavern!"<

/p>

Nucky looked at Downey with a scrutinizing look. If he goes by Downey's statement, it means that he still doesn't know about George Korler's death!

But is this true?

"When you first talked with me, didn't you look down on George Korler?"

Downey explained: "I still despise him now, but that doesn't mean I don't despise Mr. Commodore. As long as Mr. Commodore is still in Atlantic City, I must give George Korle this idiot enough respect!"<

/p>

Nucky said calmly: "Don't you know something?"

"What happened?" Downey made a puzzled expression, and then asked with surprise: "Did Mr. Commodore leave Atlantic City?"

Nucky shook his head and said: "Just this morning, George Korle was shot dead by his man Ralph Rivers!"

Here, Nucky deliberately changed the name of Bill Cody to Ralph Rivers, just to see Downey's true expression.

Downey's eyes widened instantly, showing an expression of disbelief: "George Kuhl was strangled to death? Who is Ralph Rivers?"

Nucky didn't speak, he just looked at Donnie closely, trying to find a little doubt in Donnie's expression. Nucky swore that if there was anything wrong with Donnie's expression, he would immediately send Donnie to the Commodore.

.

But Downey's performance was so perfect, completely in line with the expression that a person who learned the news for the first time should have.

In the end, Nucky still didn't find anything wrong and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who Ralph Rivers is anymore. What matters is that George Kuhl strangled him to death, and you became the biggest beneficiary of this matter!"<

/p>

Downey immediately shook his head and said: "Mr. Nucky must not say that, it's just a tavern, so it won't make me take risks!"

Nucky was briefly silent again, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can leave, remember there are still two months until the time we agreed!"

Regarding Nucky's sudden change, Downey didn't say anything. He knew that his performance today was considered a pass!

The most difficult thing about killing George Korle is not to hide the fact from the brigadier general, but to make Nucky not suspect the matter.

After all, Nucky seems to be the most likely person to do this!

After leaving Nucky's study, Downey exchanged his chips, left the Ritz Hotel directly, and returned to Korla Tavern.

When Downey comes back, Robert is already waiting for him here!

"The person has been sent away!" Robert said to Downey with a complicated expression. In fact, according to Robert's intention, only the dead can truly keep this secret, but Downey finally decided to keep Bill Cody's life, although for Don

There was some criticism of Downey's decision, but Robert finally agreed with Downey's decision.

"This is from Bill Cody!"

With that said, Robert took out 5,000 US dollars in cash from his arms and put it on the bar.

"Bill Cody was probably worried that we would get rid of him later, so after seeing me, he immediately took out the $5,000, hoping to let his family go!"

Downey was a little surprised by this unexpected gain and asked: "Where did he get so much money?"

Robert explained: "I got it from George Korla..."

Robert then told Downey that George Kuller had prepared to take Bill Cody with him with ten thousand dollars.

After hearing this, Downey smiled: "I was thinking about where to get some money, but I didn't expect this money to come!"

Robert asked: "Now that George Kuhl is dead, will there be suspicion on our heads?"

Downey shook his head: "Probably not, but Atlantic City will definitely be very chaotic next time, so we still have to be careful!"
