Lost and Spy

Chapter 2367 Supreme Law
In August 1943, two magnificent buildings appeared in Las Vegas at the same time.

One, named "Black Stone".

One, called "St. Louis Castle."

Everyone knows that these are two competitors.

Before the casino was nearly completed, the two rivals had already begun to do everything they could.

To the displeasure of Siegel, the owner of St. Louis Castle, the construction of his casino has been greatly slowed down due to the constant interference of the police.

He could only watch helplessly as the construction speed of the Black Stone kept pace with him, or even earlier.

But the strange thing is that Blackstone could open the business first, but they didn't do so. Instead, they chose to open on the same day as themselves.

In Siegel's view, this is a fruitless provocation.

He had to fight back forcefully.

Siegel has already imagined that on the opening day, he will spend a lot of money to invite those Hollywood stars to promote his casino.

Then St. Louis Castle's reputation would spread quickly.

However, what made him even more displeased was that those Hollywood stars had already been invited in advance.

For example, Louis Reiner, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn and so on.

It was Blackstone Casino that invited them.

The rest are all third-rate, even unknown stars.

Siegel is very reluctant to have such a situation.

But it would be embarrassing for St.Louis Castle if there were no stars present on opening day.

And what's even more ridiculous is that those third-rate stars actually raised their appearance fees one after another.

It is not surprising that such a situation occurs.

Now, everyone knows that two casinos were born in Las Vegas.

And it opened on the same day.

These stars who were not invited by Blackstone knew that St.Louis Castle must be inseparable from them.

If you don't take advantage of this time to make more money, what are you waiting for?

Siegel, who had no one to invite, had to spend more money to invite these stars he didn't like at all.

August 8nd is a day worth remembering in Las Vegas forever.

On this day, two luxurious entertainment venues opened simultaneously in this once desolate land.

It seems that Black Stone has more face.

They invited most of the officials headed by Las Vegas Mayor Glymond.

There are also a large number of Hollywood stars.

What excites these stars who are used to seeing big scenes most is that it is not a car that comes to greet them.

Instead, carriages!
Yes, vintage wagons!

The style of the carriage in the last century, or the beginning of this century, even the coachman has put on the old style tuxedo.

They politely invited these stars into the car.

One per person.

The stars were so excited, they were just here with a work attitude, but now it's completely different.

This makes them seem to have returned to the gold rush era.

This also makes the stars invited by the St. Louis Castle casino a little envious.

Of course, they don't particularly care.

They are here to work, not to enjoy themselves.

The St. Louis Castle Casino had arranged a car for them.

But when the car drove halfway, a large number of police officers led by Captain Morrison stopped them.

Siegel's men got out of the car, very dissatisfied: "Captain Morrison, are we breaking the law by driving?"

"Yes, you broke the law."

Captain Morrison said very seriously: "According to the laws of Las Vegas, driving a car is a serious offense."

what?
Siegel's men wondered if they had heard wrong.

Is it illegal to drive on the highway?
Is there a law more absurd than this?
"I have to ask you to follow me to the police station."

Morrison himself thought it was absurd.

That was yesterday, when the mayor called Director Nestor and him to the mayor's office.

There, besides the mayor, there was Judge Marcelo, and a middle-aged wretched man.

"Attorney Hansen Glenn."

Hansen made a self-introduction.

"Mr. Mayor, is there anything important?" Chief Nestor asked the question he was most concerned about.

Mayor Gremond's expression was a bit strange: "Well, let Lawyer Hansen talk to you."

Lawyer Hansen looked solemn: "This is a country where the law determines everything, but in Las Vegas, a city that was once great and is about to become even greater, a case that seriously violates the law is about to happen. .”

Director Nestor was confused when he heard this: "Please explain in detail, Mr. Lawyer."

Hansen gradually became emotional: "According to the laws of Las Vegas, in order to prevent the horses from being frightened, any behavior of driving a car is illegal!"

"what?"

Even as the chief of police, Nestor felt baffled: "What kind of law is this?"

"Although it sounds unbelievable, it has to be said that it is true." Judge Marcelo was also a little embarrassed: "This is indeed clearly written in the law of Las Vegas."

It's an old law.

Everyone knows the absurdity to the extreme.However, due to funding problems, no amendments have been made. Although this law has continued to this day, no one will take it seriously.

However, this lawyer named Hansen Glenn solemnly moved out of this law.

The law is the law.

Hansen said angrily: "Tomorrow, the St. Louis Castle Casino will use a large number of cars to welcome its guests. This is an open provocation to the great law."

How to say this?

The chief of the bureau takes the car, the mayor takes the car, and the judge also takes the car when he goes out.

Well, that means they're also breaking the law.

change now?There is simply not enough time.

Changing the law is no small matter.

"I demand that they be arrested when they commit crimes tomorrow!"

Hansen made this demand of justice.

Okay, got it.

That's right there against the St. Louis Castle Casino.

"Captain Morrison." Nestor smiled bitterly: "When they commit crimes tomorrow, I hope you will appear in front of them."

"Yes, Chief, I will."

Morrison certainly knew what to do.

Mayor Gremond was a little helpless: "So, how should we go to Blackstone tomorrow? Walk?"

"There is no need to worry about this, Your Excellency the Mayor." Hansen said with a smile: "Blackstone Casino has arranged carriages for the distinguished guests."

He blinked slyly: "I also think this law is unreasonable, so in the future, we should amend it as soon as possible."

future?

Except for a lawyer like you, who else would take this kind of inhumane law seriously?
How did you pick such an opponent, poor St. Louis Castle, and get yourself into trouble?
