Chapter 32 twenty one

But it was nearly a year before Don Corleone was ready to have his youngest son, Michael, smuggled back to America.During this period, the whole family was struggling with a feasible solution.Even Carlo Rizzi was consulted.Because he and Connie are both located on the boulevard now, it is very convenient to solicit. (During this period, the couple had a second child, a boy.) However, none of the plans were approved by the old man. In the end, the Bu Qiqiu family helped solve the problem by resorting to their plans due to an unfortunate incident.Bu Qiqiu has a cousin under the age of twenty-five, named Felix, who was born in the United States and is very intelligent, smarter than anyone in the family.He refused to get involved in the garbage removal business run by his family.To further distance himself from his family, he married a beautiful American girl of English descent.He wanted to be a lawyer, he worked the night shift at night, and went to work in the post office during the day, as a post office clerk who had passed the examination.During this time he had had thirty children, but his wife was a thrifty housekeeper, and the family lived on his clerk salary until he got his law degree.

At this time, Felix Buqiqiu, like many young people, naively believed that after struggling, he had completed his studies and mastered the basic skills of his profession, and his studious spirit should be rewarded naturally. That said, he'll make a decent living.Practice has proved that this idea is not practical at all.He still couldn't let go of his arrogance and refused all help from his family.However, he has a friend who is a lawyer. This lawyer is a young man with great powers who works in a large law firm and has a bright future.One day he deadpanned and demanded a little favor from Felix.The issue is complex, ostensibly legitimate, but actually involves a bankruptcy scam that has a one-in-a-million chance of being caught.Felix Bucchic wanted to try his luck.This kind of deception requires the use of some legal procedures skills he learned in college. On the surface, it seems that even if it is a crime, it will be a big one. In isolation, it is not even a crime at all.

Let's put the fool's story in a nutshell: the scam was caught, and the friend in the legal profession refused to help Felix in any way, even Felix's phone calls.The two chief culprits in this deception, two shrewd middle-aged businessmen, when their plan went awry, raged at Felix Bucchicho, called him a fool, and they both pleaded guilty, well Cooperate with the authorities and accuse Felix Buccio of being the mastermind of the scam, accusing him of using threats of violence to take control of their businesses and force them to carry out his blackmail plan.Evidence was also presented linking Julix to uncles, uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​in the family who had previously committed crimes of violence and had been recorded on the record, and this evidence was sufficient to convict.The two businessmen were given suspended sentences and got away with it.Felix Buccio was sentenced to between one and five years in prison, of which he served three years.The Buccaneers did not ask for help from any of the families, nor from Don Corleone, because Felix refused their help.He should also learn a lesson, let him understand that care can only come from the family, and the family is more loyal and reliable than the society.

After serving three years in prison, Felix Bucchicho was finally released.He returned home, kissed his wife and three children, and then lived quietly at home for a year, finally showing that he was still a descendant of the Buqiqiu family after all.He had the audacity to openly acquire a weapon—a pistol, without concealing his crime.Beat his lawyer friend to death.He then found the two businessmen again, and when they came out of the lunchroom, he calmly shot them through the skulls, killing them.He left the two corpses lying on the street, went into the convenience store and asked for a cup of coffee.As he sipped his coffee, he waited for the police to come and arrest him.

His trial was swift and the sentence severe.A member of the criminal underworld murdered two Witnesses who were cooperating with the government without fear or jump.These two witnesses sent him to prison, which he deserved.This is a blatant mockery of society.The public, the press, the entire system of social organizations, and even the always soft-hearted humanitarians unanimously demanded that Felix Buccio be sent to the electric chair and sentenced to electric shock.An officer in charge of capturing unlicensed or ownerless livestock went down to let a rabid dog go, and the governor would have no mercy.That's what one of the governor's closest aides said.In order to appeal to the court, the Bu Qiqiu family is willing to spend as much money as they want.They were proud of him now, but the conclusion was certain.Felix Bucchic was to die in the electric chair.

At the request of a member of Bu Qiji's family, Hagen brought the case up for the old man's consideration.The Bu Qiqiu family hopes to help young people as much as possible.Don Corleone flatly refused.He was not a magician, and what was asked of him was something he could not do.But the Don called Hagen into his office the next day and asked him to study the case in the utmost detail.When Hagen was done, Don Corleone told him to tell the head of the Buccaneers to come down to the Mall for a talk. The second day's affairs were handled neatly and neatly, fully embodying the characteristics of a genius who cuts through chaos with a sharp knife.Don Corleone assured the head of the Buccacho family that Felix Buccacho's wife and children would receive a large pension.This large sum of money can be delivered to the Buqiqiu family immediately.The quid pro quo is: Felix must confess in vain that he murdered Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey.

There are still many details to be arranged. At that time, Felix Buqiqiu must confess convincingly, that is to say, he must be familiar with some real details that he is going to confess in advance.In addition, he had to implicate the police captain in the narcotics smuggling operation, and the waiter at the Luna Hotel, he had to be persuaded to recognize Felix Bucchicho as the murderer.It takes a little courage, as it involves a drastic change in the description of the prisoner.Felix Bucchic was much shorter and fatter by comparison.Don Corleone, however, would fix that.In addition, the person sentenced to death is a person who is very superstitious about higher education and is a college graduate, so he would like his children to be able to go to college.So Don Corleone would have to pay a sum of money for those kids to go to college.Then, it must be explained to the Buqiqiu family again and again that there is no hope of asking for leniency after murdering thirty people.The new but white is equivalent to signing and stamping the prisoner's original almost certain death sentence.

Everything was arranged properly: the money was paid and the appropriate contacts were made with the condemned man so that he could understand the situation and know what to do.At last the whole plan was thrown out, and new crimes committed further confessions became the headlines of the papers.The whole program was a big success.But Don Corleone, cautious as usual, waited until four thousand months after Felix Bucchic's execution to issue the order that Michael Corleone could go home.
