Six hundred and sixty-eight people who break all conventions
After the accident of the first owner, the castle was bought by a wealthy merchant at the time, who was a serious businessman engaged in oil transportation, and after he bought the castle, he spent a lot of money to renovate it, and then moved into the castle with a family of more than a dozen people. As a result, on the first day of moving in, the family disappeared mysteriously for some reason, just like the first owner, and there was no one alive or dead.
Then came the third owner, a Portuguese naval officer. At that time, the Portuguese were sea coachmen, and the naval officer was also from a famous family, and he was ordered to come here to open up the way, and he immediately took a fancy to the Greystone Fort. Perched on a cliff, this castle resembles a fortified military fortress and has a wonderful view, surrounded by greenery and rolling waves in the distance, making it a rare place to live. The Portuguese officer immediately bought the Greystone Fort, married a local girl, and held a wedding in the Greystone Fort, but a month later the officer went to sea, met the famous pirate "Blackbeard" at sea, and ended up shipwrecked and buried at sea, and his new wife, after the tragic death of the officer, finally ended up with a mysterious disappearance.
The fourth owner of the castle was the elder brother of the naval officer. When he came to take over the castle, he did not know what had happened to it, and after a month of living there, he hastily sold the castle to a merchant and then hurried back to Portugal, where he died a month later.
And the fifth owner, a merchant in the rubber business, died tragically at the hands of bandits in the first year after buying the castle, and in the third year, the younger son was smashed half-naked because the scaffolding on the construction site fell off, and he himself died on the spot in the fifth year because he slipped on the floor and fell from the third floor of the castle.
Since then, the castle has been infamous as the "House of the Damned" - except for the first owner, who lived in peace until old age, the remaining four successive owners all died, and finally the merchant's widow put the castle up for a very low price, but no one took over. Because everyone is rumored that this castle is built on the flesh and blood of slaves, I don't know how many slaves' souls have accumulated here, except for the first slave owner, everyone else has no smell of blood, and it can't suppress the ghosts here, so although the gray stone castle is good, no one has come to live in it, and later, the merchant's widow even moved out of the castle, and this castle has officially become a playground for lonely souls and ghosts.
Legend has it that someone has seen gypsies, zombies, and ghosts here...... In short, for the next hundred years, the castle was left untouched.
Until Guzmán the Short appeared.
Guzmán, nicknamed Shorty, the world's most wanted man, the most powerful drug dealer in the world, at his peak, had a fortune of about $20 billion. He has twice escaped from a high-security prison in Mexico.
In the 80s, Guzmán bought the Greystone Fort from the merchant's descendants.
He felt that he could suppress the "unjust souls" here, and after he bought the castle and moved in with great fanfare, many people were waiting to see his jokes, but it turned out that whether there were "unjust souls" here, Guzmán really could hold on to it, not only could he hold it down, but he had a smooth journey since he moved to Greystone Castle.
Guzmán may be really hard-hitting.
He was born in the city of Badilaguato, the "home of drugs" at the hub of Mexico's "Delta". His family, like many local farmers, made a living from growing hemp and poppy. The vast majority of drug dealers in Mexico are from Sinaloa, where Badilaguato is located.
Compared to the Sicilians, the birthplace of the mafia, the Badilaguato people are more compliant
The Law of Silence. Because of this, most people, including himself, are reluctant to mention Guzmán's past. What is certain, however, is that Guzmán's family was poor, and he used to sell fruit on the streets when he was young.
In the 80s of the 20th century, the young Guzmán devoted himself to the Mexican gangster "godfather" Gallardo, and worked his way up the ranks to become a senior insider. Gallardo is a police officer who has successfully annexed drug dealers large and small in Sinaloa and founded the famous drug trafficking group "Federation". But after Gallardo's arrest in 1989, his power gradually collapsed. At this time, Guzmán and his cronies seized the opportunity to seize power and seize the cross-border passage of Mexicali, which was a "golden channel" for drug trafficking from Mexico to Citigroup. This also allowed Guzmán's gang to surpass other organizations in one fell swoop.
As the nephew of a prominent local drug dealer in the late '80s, Guzmán experienced first-hand the transformation of the cartel from the old-fashioned "socially based farmer syndicate" to the modern "massacre with military tactics and the hiring of economists and lawyers to cover up." Thirty years later, he has gone from a semi-literate farmer to the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, the world's largest criminal gang with tentacles in 48 countries.
After acquiring most of Gallardo's industry, Guzmán's power grew larger, and Guzmán not only expanded his old business, but also created new ways to transport drugs. Guzmán built a secret underground passage with ventilation, electricity, and rails to smuggle drugs from Mexico to Citigroup without anyone noticing.
Therefore, after Guzmán lived in the Greystone Fort without accidents, most people began to fear him more, because according to legend, only he and the first master, the blood-indebted slave owner, did not have an accident, and the biggest resemblance between the two of them is that their hands are covered with blood, and they are both ruthless people who kill people without blinking. Guzmán was of course happier when he heard these rumors, and what could be happier than a drug dealer to hear that everyone was afraid of him?
And there is another reason why Guzmán is entrenched in Graystone Fort, because it is said that after escaping from Citigroup's highest-security prison, he stole a sensitive item and hid it in the castle. No one knows exactly what it is, but the rumors are a very sensitive thing — so sensitive that at one point there were rumors that Citi was going to make a deal with him, and as long as Guzmán washed his hands, he would help him clear his name as a wanted man and unfreeze a large amount of his assets seized in the bank. It is said that after Guzmán rejected the deal, Citigroup sent more than a dozen groups of agents, who almost turned over the Greystone Fort before and after, but never found the "sensitive item". You must know that with Citigroup's ability, not to mention a small graystone castle, even if it is the Louvre, after being investigated by more than a dozen groups of agents, it is impossible to hide even a rat nest.
But Guzmán hid it, allowing the dozen or so Citigroup agents who came one after another to sneak into Greystone Fort in vain. Some say it's true, others say it's nonsense, and in short, since then, Greystone Fort has been tightened in security. The missile just fired was shot down from the top of the castle, and this hilly area has become a "national China" because of Guzmán's vigilance, and any low-altitude aircraft that enters without permission will be shot down without hesitation.
At this time, he was in the control room in the basement of the castle, his face was gloomy, and he said to himself in a voice that he could probably only hear: "Do you say...... You're here to grab that thing, too?"
The operators in the control room were silent.
Three hundred and ten
Guzmán is entrenched here
For more than ten years, there have been agents from various countries, various spies, a large number of drug dealers, and even some politicians who want to engage in politics in Mexico - in Mexico, do not visit Guzman, do not go to the Gulf Group to show your face, show your political tendencies, will you sweep drugs at two ends in three days, it is estimated that someone will find the body of this stupid politician in the stinky ditch the next day.
But basically, after Guzmán fled from Citi, the visit was cut off, and no one came to Greystone again.
After he escaped from the Citigroup Nation's highest-security prison, he lived in the basement of the castle, not to mention outsiders coming to see him, even if it was his own family, he was rarely seen. And that's not the main reason, the main reason is that there are rumors circulating outside that Guzmán has become a monster - a monster is either a figurative monster or a monster in the real sense.
The basement is the key point of this castle, and it is also the strongest and safest place, and the slave owners at that time spent a lot of effort to hide the gold and silver treasures, and forced down the cliff full of rocks to build the second underground floor. However, unlike the previous function of hiding gold and silver treasures, the basement is now used by Guzmán as a hiding place, as well as various surveillance equipment.
Because it used to be used to "hide" wealth, the secrecy measures were also very good, and the entrance and exit were a floor tile that fit perfectly into the ground, and if the floor tiles were covered, nothing could be seen at all.
And this is where Guzmán lived for five years.
That's right, although Guzman has such a large graystone fort, after he got it back from Citigroup, he lived directly in the basement, and I don't know why. It's been almost five years. In the past five years, Guzmán has never been out of the basement, no one knows what he is doing or what is on his mind, the only thing that is certain is that he is not hiding from his enemies, nor is he afraid that the people of Citigroup will come to arrest him, since there is a legend that he brought back a "sensitive item", he has been doing so until now.
The controllers in the underground monitoring room rotate once a month, and it is not okay for people not to see the sun for a long time, but Guzmán is the only one who has not seen the sun for five years, and even his two sons have not seen him come out of the basement for a long time. Many people don't know why, but only Guzmán's closest people probably know why.
It all started with Guzmán's escape.
After his arrest in Citigroup, Guzmán was incarcerated in Citigroup's highest-security prison in Colorado, the highest-security prison the Colorado government has to offer, so much so that it became known as "Alcatraz in the Rocky Mountains." Located about two hours south of Denver in an old mining town, the prison is home to some 400 inmates in the country's most violent outlawers. The architecture of this prison is very distinctive, because all the prisoners here are of the highest rank, so it adopts a split design - three separate prisons are connected by three herringbone passages to the middle administration, so that even if one part of the prison riots or other incidents, the other prisons can operate independently, ensuring maximum security.
Many of them spend their days alone in cells made of reinforced concrete, and one of the three cells is said to be a separate cell for Citigroup's special law enforcement agencies. In short, the people who are held here are basically people who can be held until the day the world is destroyed, but for some reason cannot be executed.
From the time the prison was established until the day Guzmán was captured, no one had managed to escape.
And Guzmán seems to have been born to break all conventions.
