What crime have we committed?












38












$begingroup$



We start in a city that rhymes with angina,

the masculine form, add in what's drunk in China,

then take phylum's first six, of the minor kind,

components will make what in our hand we find.



We add to our hand where we initiated,

and what's in between, plus the two lower-rated,

now, this combination leads straight to a street,

we keep going southwards till we know we're beat.




What violent crime have we committed?

          Following on from NudgeNudge who got halfway with




          Ace - which is what is in our hand




          This can be shortened to




          A (this is just the standard abbreviation, and what is on the corner of the card)




          Adding where we initiated




          AQ (Regina = Queen = Q)




          Whats inbetween and the two lower rated




          A K Q J 10




          this combination leads straight to a street




          This is a broadway straight in poker (assuming it's not a royal flush, I guess)




          we keep going southwards till we know we're beat




          Following broadway southwards in Manhattan leads to Battery park




          So the answer is




          Battery

            why did you shorten in the second step? Doesn't change the next steps but still curious.

          Partial:



          We start in a city that rhymes with angina,




          Regina




          the masculine form,




          Regina is queen in latin, and king is rex.




          add in what's drunk in China,




          Tea, so t-rex




          then take phylum's first six,




          The phylum of t-rexes is chordata. First six letters are chord a.




          of the minor kind,




          That is, the Am chord.




          components will make what in our hand we find.




          The components of the Am chord are the notes A, C, E. So there's an ace in our hand?
