67, Mann Act

 Agents from the FBI are all called federal investigators, or FBI for short!

This organization will naturally become famous in later generations, but in fact the FBI was officially established in 1908.

The main responsibility of this organization in the early days was to investigate undesirable social phenomena in the United States, such as the Mafia, gambling, brothels, etc.

The most important thing is that the FBI is affiliated with the U.S. government, which effectively increases the government's law enforcement. After all, before this, each state in the United States had a high degree of autonomy, and many states would disobey some of the orders of the government.

The most obvious example is that Atlantic City does not prohibit alcohol.

Although Eli Johnson's security agency and the FBI are both law enforcement agencies in the United States, Eli Johnson's security agency is managed by the state of New Jersey and has no superior-subordinate relationship with the FBI.

So when David Jabbar turned his doubtful eyes to Eli Johnson, Eli Johnson also showed a doubtful expression.

But no matter what, now that federal agents are here, David Jabbar still has to go out and see what’s going on!

When he arrived on the first floor of the Fuli Tavern, he saw Van Alden standing there in a suit, with three men wearing the same clothes behind him.

"Are you David Jabbar? The owner of Folly Tavern?"

Van Alden looked directly at David Jabbar and asked loudly.

"It's me, what can I do for you?" David Jabbar asked, keeping his smile.

"Then do you know...Jennifer, Simone, Aubrey..."

Van Alden took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the names of some women written on it.

David Jabbar frowned slightly. He naturally knew these women, because these women have been picking up customers on the fifth floor of the Fuli Tavern.

"Do you know me or not?"

Van Alden asked impatiently.

"Hi!" Eli Johnson, who had just received a benefit from David Jabbar, couldn't help but said: "Be polite, this is Atlantic City!"

"I know this is Atlantic City, but this is also the United States!" Van Alden glanced at Eli Johnson disdainfully and said, "I know you, Nucky's brother in Atlantic City! But your brother's affairs are not our business.

, your brother will naturally be taken care of by other colleagues!"

"You!"

Eli Johnson didn't expect that the other party would be so arrogant.

Because the FBI and state and city police have overlapping powers and responsibilities in many cases, the relationship between the two parties has not been very good.

"I know, what's wrong?" David Jabbar still hasn't figured out what his problem is.

"It's good to know you. Now we suspect that you violated the Mann Act passed by the United States of America in June 1910. We want to bring you back to Washington for trial. Here is our arrest warrant!"

The most important content of the Mann Act is to prohibit the trafficking of women between states in the United States!

Buzz!

David Jabbar's head suddenly buzzed. It's not that he didn't think of the Mann Act just now. In fact, the promulgation of this bill was worse than Prohibition. This situation still exists in various states in the United States. It can be said that under David Jabbar

In the minds of this type of people, there is no concept of the Mann Act at all.

Just when David Jabbar was surrounded, Van Alden's people were already ready to step forward and put handcuffs on David Jabbar!

Such an action naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of David Jabbar's people in the Fuli Tavern. They immediately stepped forward and started pushing and shoving with Van Alden's people.

Seeing this situation, Van Alden took out his pistol forcefully and shot at the ceiling.

Such behavior naturally shocked everyone present.

"Wow, wow!" Eli Johnson raised his hands high, came to the middle of the crowd, and said to Van Alden.

"Relax, relax! Agent Alden, I think there must be some misunderstandings?"

Van Alden smiled proudly and said: "There is no misunderstanding. I have investigated this matter clearly. The witnesses and material evidence are all available. Now I can add another piece of evidence for David Jabbar and arrest him!"

Eli Johnson said helplessly to Van Alden: "Okay, for the sake of my clothes, can I have a few words with David Jabbar alone?"

Van Alden thought for a moment and said: "Okay, but I advise you not to have any other thoughts. There are reporters from the "Washington Post" outside. Everything that happened here today will be reported truthfully.

In the newspaper!"

Eli Johnson's face suddenly turned ugly. He did have other ideas just now, but the media are here. Unless they can control the reporters of the "Washington Post", they will be in big trouble!

"Of course, I am also a law enforcer!"

Eli Johnson said something coldly, and then came to David Jabbar.

"Do you know who did this?"

It is impossible for federal agents to come to Atlantic City without any news, and it is impossible for federal agents to investigate the situation of David Jabbar without anyone knowing.

"There are only two people in the entire Atlantic City who have the ability to do this!" David Jabbar said with an ugly face.

Eli Johnson's expression also became ugly. He knew that the person David Jabbar was talking about was his brother Nucky and their current supporter, the Brigadier General.

But they now have a cooperative relationship with the Brigadier General, and it is impossible for the Brigadier General to deal with David Jabbar at this time!

"This is not his method. If he wants to deal with you, he won't use his strength outside of Atlantic City!" Eli denied after thinking for a while.

This is not that he is excusing Nucky, but that he is convinced that Nucky is indeed not such a person. Nucky has always regarded Atlantic City as his back garden and has never allowed outside forces to come to Atlantic City to cause trouble!<

/p>

David Jabbar said somewhat unhappily: "Then tell me, besides Nucky, who else has this ability?"

"No one in Atlantic City has the ability to mobilize federal agents, but there is one person who definitely has the motivation to do so."

Eli Johnson said.

"You're talking about Donny Bullock?" David Kareem asked, after all, they are competing with Donny Bullock now.

"That's right!" Eli nodded.

"This is impossible, Donnie Brock doesn't have the energy!" David Jabbar is more willing to believe that Nucky did this.

"Okay, it's no longer important to worry about who did it. I will rush to the brigadier immediately and ask him to contact the relationship in Washington to solve this trouble for you!"

Eli Johnson preaches.

Now that Nucky has given up on them, they can only seek the Brigadier's help on this matter.

"Well, I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible!" David Jabbar said helplessly.

In fact, up to now, David Jabbar does not take this matter too seriously. Whether it is the Commodore period or the Nucky period, there are people in Atlantic City who have been taken away by federal agents.

But in the end, under the operation of the Brigadier or Nucky, these people were released due to lack of evidence!

David Jabbar also thought he would have such a result.

With the communication between Eli Johnson and David Jabbar, David Jabbar no longer offered any resistance and left with Van Alden and others.

When Eli Johnson followed them out of the tavern, he did see several people dressed as reporters at the entrance of the tavern taking photos of the situation!

When Eli Johnson saw this situation, he just snorted and left directly.

Van Alden took David Jabbar into a slightly dilapidated Ford Model T and left here.

.

"Atlantic City has recently become a backyard for federal investigators. Can they come whenever they want?"

Nucky soon learned the news. Compared with Eli Johnson's bruised nose and face, Nucky's image was much better, just a little red.

"Boss, they will definitely think that you are the instigator of this matter!"

Louis reminded.

Nucky waved his hand and said: "If they think so, they won't become my enemies!"

"So who sent these people?" Louis was also very confused about the sudden appearance of Van Alden and others, "Could they be run by the Brigadier General like Diesel Mallard and the others?



Nucky already knows that Diesel Mallard and others are investigating him.

"No, the Brigadier has no reason to do this."

Nucky directly denied this possibility.

Nucky then asked Louis: "Who will ultimately benefit from David Jabbar being taken away?"

Louis just thought briefly and replied: "Donny Brock!"

Then added: "With David Jabbar being taken away, the business of the Folly Tavern is bound to be affected, and this is what Downey wants to see."

Nucky nodded and said: "I think so too, but what kind of background does Downey have that we don't know about, and he can actually invite people from the FBI?"

"I don't know about that!" Louis shook his head.

.

"Alden and the others have taken David Kareem away from Atlantic City. When are you going to see him?"

Just when everyone was speculating on this matter, John had already appeared very happily at the Bullock Tavern.

And Van Alden who took away David Jabbar was naturally arranged by Downey.

As for how Downey met Van Alden, don’t forget that Van Alden wanted to investigate the moonshine brewing in Elwood Village!

"Don't worry, let David Jabbar worry for two days first, so that when I meet with him, he will agree to our request more happily!"

Donnie held a cigar in his hand and said to Robert with a bright smile on his face: "We can change places in a few days!"

With David Jabbar being taken away, there is no resistance for Downey to get the Folly Tavern!
