64. Private property is sacred and inviolable
Although according to American law, local city police do not have much power, but it is still very easy for the other party to take a person away for investigation.
Of course, this premise is that this person does not have much influence.
Eli Johnson was already irritated by Downey's attitude. What he hated most during this time was people calling him Nucky's brother.
"My name is Eli Johnson!" Eli looked at Downey coldly: "Now are you going to tell me that you want to defy the laws of Atlantic City and be arrested?"
"Of course Mr. Bullock didn't mean to arrest him!"
At this time, a man in a suit walked in and stood beside Donnie naturally.
When he saw the other party, Eli's face became even more ugly.
"Brad, what do you mean?"
Eli must respect the man in front of him because his name is Brad Dorn, one of the most famous lawyers in Atlantic City. More importantly, his wife is the president of WCTU, and he himself is in this year's election.
Later, he will also become a municipal judge in Atlantic City!
"I don't mean anything, I just want to tell you, Mr. Johnson, that according to the laws of Atlantic City, before you have conclusive evidence, you can only conduct routine questioning on my client, but you do not have the right to use violence to take Mr. Bullock away.
.
As a celebrity in Atlantic City, Mr. Donny Bullock can choose his own time to go to the Public Security Bureau to answer your questions after receiving your inquiries.
In addition, it is necessary to inform Mr. Johnson that I am now Mr. Donny Bullock's lawyer. If you have any questions, you can tell me first!"
"Of course, as a legal Atlantic City citizen, I am very willing to cooperate with the public security investigation, but definitely not in the current form, otherwise I will definitely take everyone present to court!"
Downey took over Brad Dorn's words at the right time.
Downey's words caused other security personnel at the scene to panic.
If the people who just said these words were just ordinary people in Atlantic City, then they would definitely not take it to heart, but now it is Donnie Bullock who says these words, and the person standing next to him is Brad Dou
Yes.
The energy of these two people is enough to make what they just said come true.
Everyone is just trying to make ends meet, and no one wants to lose their job because of an outsider.
So at this time, others were already shrinking, and were carefully looking at the livid-faced Eli Johnson.
"Donny Bullock, don't forget, this is Atlantic City!"
Although Eli Johnson doesn't want to admit that he needs to rely on Nucky, at this moment he can't let his little brother see him being humbled in front of Donnie Brock.
So a subtle reminder, this is Atlantic City, and the ruler of Atlantic City is his brother Nucky!
Sure enough, these words made those subordinates stand up again.
Braddorn did not speak, but looked at Downey.
Downey's expression remained calm: "Of course I know this is Atlantic City, but Atlantic City belongs to the state of New Jersey, and New Jersey belongs to the United States of America. According to the Constitution of the United States of America, private property is sacred and inviolable.
Now that you are trespassing in my territory, I can sue you according to the laws of the United States, and this is the law of Atlantic City that needs to be followed!"
Eli didn't mention Nucky, and Donnie didn't mention Nucky either. He just quoted the Constitution of the United States of America, which was actually telling these people in a subtle way.
If Nucky really wants to keep you, he will have to pay a heavy price, and are these people here worth the price Nucky pays!
Now that the momentum has completely come to Downey's side, Eli Johnson looked at the appearance of his men and knew that he might lose face today!
Afterwards, Brad Dorn continued to talk about some professional legal knowledge. In desperation, Eli Johnson could only leave with his own people!
"Boss, in fact, as long as Mr. Nucky says a word, I think Brad will definitely give up being Donny Bullock's lawyer immediately. We can still deal with Donny Bullock by then!"
After walking out of Block Tavern, one of his subordinates whispered to Eli.
"Get out!"
Eli Johnson, who rubbed salt into the wound, kicked the opponent hard.
.
"So my idiot brother was completely defeated by Downey this time!"
Nucky is sitting in his study, his expression is calm, and he can’t tell whether he is sad or happy!
Louis stood beside him and said: "That's right, this matter has spread in Atlantic City, and Downey's reputation has once again climbed to a new level!"
Nucky asked: "Louis, do you think this decision of mine is right or wrong? I'm always worried about Donnie's development speed. How long has passed and he can already defeat Eli!"
”
Louis said firmly: "Nucky, your decision is always the right one!"
"Haha!" Nucky finally had a wry smile: "If it weren't for the Commodore, I would never have allowed Donnie to develop in Atlantic City. This man's development speed is really too fast. I have a feeling
I have a premonition that he will become our enemy in the future!"
Just as Downey imagined, Nucky will never work with Eli to suppress Downey on this matter.
Because now Nucky's biggest enemy is the Brigadier General, especially his idiot brother, who actually chose to betray him, which directly enhanced the Brigadier General's strength.
"He is not qualified yet!" Louis replied.
"It's just that I don't have the qualifications now!" Nucky waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not worry about Donny Bullock's affairs for now. Let's go find him after we solve the Brigadier's affairs!"
"Yes!" Louis had no objection to Nucky's instructions.
"Where did Eli go after leaving Bullock's Tavern?"
Nucky asked Louis.
Louis said: "First we went back to the police station, and then we went to the Fuli Tavern!"
"This idiot!" Nucky heard Eli's schedule and said angrily again: "Does being my Nucky's brother make him so uncomfortable?"
Louis asked: "Would you like me to call Mr. Johnson?"
Although Eli betrayed Nucky, Nucky still wanted to get his brother back in time. After all, it is not easy to train a qualified Atlantic City security officer.
Nucky waved his hand and said: "Forget it, David Jabbar will definitely lose this time. After he loses, that idiot will know who to stand next to!"
Louis nodded.
Nucky said: "Go get Jim Farley in!"
After a while, a middle-aged man came to Nucky's study.
"Jim, this is Frank's letter of introduction. I have asked our governor to write it for him. I hope this letter can help your little son successfully enter the University of Pennsylvania."
As soon as Jim Farley sat down, Nucky took out a letter of introduction from his drawer and handed it to Jim Farley.
Jim Farley immediately took it over happily and said with a smile: "Dear Nucky, I really don't know how to thank you!"
"If possible, I hope you can control the situation in the West District. In addition, I also hope to arrange you to be Eli's adjutant in the Public Security Department!"
Nucky didn't play nice with Jim Farley either.
In the early days, Jim Farley lived on Pennsylvania Avenue in the West End, closest to the North End, and had great influence there. Later, the brigadier general saw his influence in the West End and assigned him to work in the fire department, and even
During the time that the Brigadier General was on trial, Jim Farley also faced some trials.
But in the end, Jim Farley, like Nucky, became the only two people who had no problems in that trial.
It's just that Jim Farley's status was really low at that time, so no one noticed him.
After Nucky took control of Atlantic City, he directly promoted Jim Farley's position in the fire department, second only to the chief!
Jim Farley understood what Nucky meant very well and said: "Dear Nucky, I understand. Today I will lead my family back to live in the West End!"
Nucky nodded with satisfaction and said: "You have to pay attention to one thing when you arrive in the West End. Recently, many young people in the West End have begun to work as liaisons between casinos and gamblers. This job has just appeared in Atlantic City.
Yes, I hope you can understand all the situations here and get along well with these people!"
Jim Farley nodded again: "Okay!"
Although now is not the best time to deal with Donnie, Nucky still needs to take some action, so after he discovered the Junket Operator business in the West End, he had to ask someone he trusted to pay attention to this matter.
He's going to drop a handful of thumbtacks in Downey's back garden!
