Chapter 243: Gangsters

"Gangster?"

Lin Han frowned, looking at the situation outside the car window with some surprise.

I saw that outside the car was a slightly empty street, and the pedestrians on the street were a little flustered at this time, as if they were afraid to avoid it and disperse into the distance, while talking in twos and threes.

In the middle of the street, two groups of men in black with dozens of people each facing each other, one side was slightly more numerous, and the atmosphere on both sides was tense.

The two groups of men in black were wearing black suits, many of them were wearing sunglasses, and each of them was holding a knife and stick in their hands, as if they were not good people, and the two sides seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

The taxi swallowed and nodded, "These two groups are local violent groups, one of them is the Koikai affiliated to the Sumiyoshi Nishiwakai, and the other is the Chikawa Kai of the Matsuba clan......"

Listening to this string of names, Lin Han was a little confused: "Sumiyoshi system? I've heard of Sumiyoshi Society, what does this Sumiyoshi system mean?"

Sumiyoshikai is the second largest yakuza organization in Japan after the Yamaguchi-gumi, and one of the gangs recognized by the Japanese government.

Unlike in many countries, yakuza gangs, or gangs, are nominally legally organized, and sometimes even take on some of the responsibility of maintaining social order on behalf of the government.

These gangs operate pornography, gambling and drug industries in their respective jurisdictions, as well as protection payments and robbery.

Because of its inextricable relationship with the government, it is generally not banned unless there is very conclusive and obvious evidence of a crime.

Originally, Japanese yakuza had been working on their own whitewashing work, and many of them had established regular companies, hoping to get some positive social evaluation through charity and various public activities.

Not only that, but these gangsters even advertise and publish promotional videos to give gifts to children like Santa Claus during the holidays.

But gangsters are gangsters after all, and it's useless to sell cuteness.

With the weakening of the Japanese economy, this specious whitewashing process was forced to come to an end, and various criminal activities became frequent again, and even the mayor of Nagasaki was assassinated by a gang member with a gun.

As a result, the Japanese government launched a series of measures to suppress gangsters, making the situation of major gangs more and more difficult.

There were news reports that several members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were arrested because they couldn't open the pot, and even got caught stealing food from the supermarket......

It's just that there has always been a constant connection between the Japanese yakuza and the major political parties. Although it has been suppressed by the government, it has never really gone into decline.

Moreover, the existence of these gangsters also plays a similar role in collecting containers, binding those who have been abandoned by society in another order, and the government cannot really do it to death.

The taxi driver said, "Large designated gangs such as the Yamaguchi-gumi and Sumiyoshikai are not yakuza in the conventional sense...... To be precise, they are more like gangster alliances, made up of many gangs of all sizes. ”

"The Xihekai is one of the constituent organizations of the Sumiyoshi Society, and the Koikai here is a subordinate gang of the Xihekai. ”

Lin Han nodded: "What about the other side?"

The taxi driver continued, "On the other side is the Senkawakai, which belongs to the constituent organization of the Matsuba Kai. Of course, the scale of the Matsubakai is much smaller than that of the Sumiyoshikai. ”

"Why are these two sides making trouble here?"

The driver thought for a while: "I don't know the specific reason. However, this Chikawakai broke away from the Koi Society and then joined the Matsuba Society. ”

"Oh?" Lin Han couldn't help but become a little interested when he heard this, "And this matter, why is this gang split?"

"The original Koi Kai was headed by Yamagata Wu, and Kenichi Omura was one of the cadres. The driver said slowly, adding, "Kenichi Omura is the current leader of the Senkawakai." ”

"A few years ago, because of the economic difficulties, Xiaojinghui began a large number of illegal and criminal activities, including robbery, pornography, gambling and drugs. ”

"On the collection of protection money, the robbery of houses, the control of gambling and custom shops, and other activities, the Koi Society has the same opinion, and there is no disagreement. But when it comes to the drug problem, Koikai is divided into two factions. ”

"The mainstream opinion is to insist on drug trafficking, while the other faction, led by Kenichi Omura, believes that drug trafficking is too bad to be carried out. ”

The driver said: "The two factions are constantly at odds on this issue, and the final result is that the gang will be split into two, and Chikawa will break away from it and become independent......."

At this time, on the street outside the car, the leaders of the gangs on both sides were standing in front of their respective camps, talking about something.

It's just that although they are talking, the atmosphere on both sides seems to be getting more and more tense, and many people are already gearing up.

"Yaga!"

Yamagata Wu, the leader of the Koi Kai, suddenly shouted angrily, and raised his hand to slap Kenichi Omura, the leader of the Chikawa Society, in the face.

Yamagata Wu is a big man, while Kenichi Omura is a tall and thin man who looks to be in his thirties, and he was immediately staggered by this slap and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, the scene suddenly exploded, and the people on both sides were about to rush up to fight.

At this time, Kenichi Omura stretched out his hand to stop the people behind him, and turned his head to say something to the other side, and the two people looked at each other, but they didn't make a move for a while.

"Mr. Lin Han, the security in this area is not very good, maybe there will be a fight at any time. Let's take a detour, shall we?" the taxi driver looked hesitant and turned to Lin Han and said.

Lin Han didn't speak, but just secretly observed the two gangsters through the car window.

After a while, the scene was noisy again, and the two sides of Xiaojinghui and Qianchuanhui actually strode in one direction together, holding their swords and sticks one by one, with a cold momentum.

Seeing this, the taxi driver couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that they should be ready to go somewhere else to continue talking." ”

Lin Han groaned for a while, but said in a flat tone: "Keep up." ”

"Follow, follow, follow?" said the driver, shuddering, wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Yes, keep up. ”

The driver suddenly looked bitter: "Mr. Lin, they are gangsters." Let's get up on our own, aren't we asking for trouble, it's too dangerous. ”

"One hundred thousand yen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the driver's face couldn't help but turn blue and white, and he kept changing: "This ......"

Lin Han frowned: "500,000 yen." ”

The driver's expression moved, but he didn't speak, as if he was expecting something......

Lin Han glanced at him: "Why don't I buy your car?"

"Oh no, it's over. The driver smiled, and then said, "Those gangsters, I've long been unhappy!"

As soon as the words ended, the taxi turned around and followed the two gangsters not far away.
