Chapter 60: The Birthplace of the Wharf
Qingming in April is a traditional Chinese festival and a small long holiday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is the mainland, or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, they attach great importance to traditional festivals.
Hong Kong, which returned to the mainland in 1997, has always been one of the largest trading ports in Southeast Asia and one of the most economically developed regions of the Republic. This is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor, and legend has it that on the border between Hong Kong and the mainland, there was once a world-famous Kowloon Walled City. Most of the people living in this walled city are rampant crimes from all over the world, as well as the local black house groups, and it is a place outside the law.
Because the mainland government does not care, the British government does not care, and the Hong Kong government does not care, a special social order has been formed in the walled city of the "three regardless", and countless heroic legends have also been achieved. It wasn't until the early nineties of the last century that the British government couldn't bear it anymore and finally dispatched 5,000 police forces to raze the walled city to the ground. The inhabitants of the Walled City were scattered in other slums, and finally ceased to be a major problem for the government.
But in the slums, there are still some similar small walled towns. What Yu Chengcheng is going to now is the iron cage village in Tin Shui Wai, also called Coffin City.
However, she was smuggled to Hong Kong with the help of the "tiger boy" planted by the insider. During the Qingming Festival, together with more than a dozen mainland workers, drug dealers, and even fugitives, Yu Qingcheng squeezed into a small ferry warehouse, and it took seven hours to cross the Lingding Ocean and come to this strange beach. In the cabin, the turbid air was mixed with the smell of sweat, foot odor, and engine oil, which made Yu Qingcheng almost on the verge of vomiting.
It wasn't until she climbed onto the beach in the middle of the night that she couldn't wait to open her mouth and take a few breaths of fresh air with a slightly salty and humid breath. When the smuggling process is over, the cargo ship and the tiger boy disappear immediately, and the remaining people are left to fend for themselves. Some people have connections in Hong Kong, and they run non-stop all night, and those who have no place to find them also leave the gloomy port in a hurry, lest they be arrested by the police patrolling the night.
Yu Qingcheng also dragged his suitcase, held the map in his hand, and walked out briskly towards the west. It was difficult for Yu Chengcheng to walk, and the road signs on the map were also drawn in detail, and in the second half of the night, Yu Chengcheng came to the outside of a residential community. At this time, the east is already a little cloudy, and you can vaguely see the tall buildings in the community, which are somewhat similar to the urban garden of Yu Chengcheng's hometown.
However, the houses are close together, giving a sense of oppression in the dark. Yu put away the map and dragged his suitcase towards the community, occasionally seeing homeless people sleeping in the corners and addicts injecting drugs into their veins. The community is full of all kinds of signboards and neon signs, and although the sun has gradually risen, Yu Chengcheng can't see any extra sunlight in the community lined with buildings and facades.
Looking up at the interlaced wires, the haphazard stairs, the clothes to dry, and many items that were too messy to see, Yu Chengcheng retracted his gaze. It felt so oppressive that she wondered if she would lose her way if she looked any further. All kinds of illegal small buildings squeezed the passage of the past so narrow that it couldn't be narrower, and Yu Chengcheng suddenly missed the mainland's urban management very much, hoping that they would come over and tear down all these things.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Qingcheng tried his best to calm his troubled heart. "Here, it should be Tielong Village...... Sister Yueqing said that there is a Master Chen here, who is an underworld leader investigated by the Special Intelligence Department. Mr. Chen runs a martial arts gym, trains stuntmen for the film and television industry, and has dealings with the Huo Group and inland producers. The organization has always wanted to get hold of this person, but there is no suitable opportunity, so if I want to carry out my work, I must first visit Mr. Chen. ”
"Lord Chen" is also one of the shareholders on the underworld dock, and the Huo Group is also a friend and foe, and the forces on the dock are quite controversial, and occasionally fight in the underworld. Therefore, if Yu Chengcheng wants to seek revenge on Zhang Xinlong, he must find a suitable opportunity, so the organization has formulated this plan in combination with the work carried out in combination with the actual situation. However, this walled city is too big, or too complicated, and Yu Chengcheng has no way to find it.
"Hey, I'm 7C, can you hear me?" Yu Qingcheng flipped his neckline, there was a small satellite communication system there, and the object of communication was none other than Lingyang and them. Although this is Hong Kong, a clear voice still came from this communication satellite: "7C, through satellite positioning, you have already arrived at the Iron Cage Walled City?" Very good, you first go and contact a person called Young Master Ji, who is the internal line of our special intelligence department planted there. ”
7C is the homonym of the word Allure, and it is also the current code name of Allure.
"Young Master Ji, aren't you looking for Master Chen?" Yu Qingcheng was stunned. Ling Yang said: "Lord Chen is the boss of the walled city, how can it be so easy to see? You lurk there first, and find an opportunity to let Young Master Ji take you to meet Lord Chen, but don't arouse his suspicion, otherwise the work will not be carried out." We are in the Hong Kong Garrison, and we have limited help for you, and the situation in the walled city is more complicated, so you should pay attention to protect yourself and try not to cause trouble. ”
"Got it. Yu Tingcheng turned off the satellite phone, knowing that the organization would not give her more help for the time being.
After a while, it was time for the residents of the community to get up, and many of them walked out of their homes. Some squatted at the door to brush their teeth, holding their children to urinate, and some hurriedly squeezed past Yu Chengcheng to go to work. Just when Yu Qingcheng turned an intersection, about to find someone to ask, one of the few people who didn't want to squeeze out just now knocked down her suitcase. Yu Qingcheng had just come back to his senses, and this guy actually pulled the suitcase and started to run away.
"Well, it's actually a robbery!" Yu Qingcheng was in a trance when he first arrived, and he was unprepared, so he dragged his suitcase away.
However, this was only a temporary accident, and after his mind suddenly concentrated, Yu Qingcheng chased after him with his legs, and rushed into the corridor of a unit with the young man who was dragging his suitcase. But as soon as she ran up the steps, a penny stretched out next to her, trying to trip her up! Yu Qingcheng sneered, and his kick shook on the penny, causing the whole penny to shake like a sifting of rice, and a miserable scream came from the corner.
In the gloomy corridor, Yu Tingcheng took a few steps out, and had already caught up with the young man, and pinched his wrist carrying the suitcase! The young man let out an angry roar, let go of the suitcase, pulled out his arm fiercely, took a few steps back, and glared at Yu Tingcheng. And behind Yu Qingcheng, two other young people also walked out, one of whom was rubbing his palms and looking at her with a resentful expression. Yu Qingcheng touched the few marks that had been knocked out of the suitcase with his hand, and he was also very annoyed in his heart.
"Why are you robbing people?"
"Yo, Mandarin. From the mainland?" The young man who grabbed the bag glanced at Yu Qingcheng and said a very non-standard Chinese. "Look at your virtue, eighty percent of them swim over, play majestic here, and want to go into the police station to cool off?"
"Are you really coming?" Yu Tingcheng was in a depressed mood now, although there were organizational requirements, he couldn't do anything too out of the ordinary, so as not to ruin the work plan. But if these people really want to do it, she has no choice but to beat people to death, after all, this is Hong Kong, not the mainland, in case their gang has a lot of people and guns, it will definitely be very miserable to end up here. So Yu Tingcheng is already ready to wait for the opportunity to kill these people, and then run away.
Several young people also seemed to find that Yu Qingcheng was not simple, and they didn't dare to come over to provoke again for a while.
"Well, what are you rotten boys doing?" At this time, a person passing by the corridor shouted a word in Cantonese, and the young men hurriedly stepped aside, "Young Master Ji, let's go out and turn blind, why don't we do it." Yu Qingcheng couldn't understand Cantonese, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she was a little sensitive to the words "Young Master Ji". I saw that this person was not tall, about thirty years old, wearing a silk flower shirt, like a small underworld boss.
"You are ......"
"Oh, my contemptible surname is Ji, and my brothers raise me to be Young Master Ji. Young Master Ji glanced at Yu Qingcheng, seemed to understand something, and changed to Mandarin. "Another beautiful girl who smuggled to Hong Kong. Don't be afraid, Anwar and they are just joking with you, and they have no other meaning, so how can they send you to the police station?" he said, and said to the three young men: "Don't scare people here casually, be careful that Lord Chen kicks you out." ”
"Yes, yes, just kidding!" several people nodded to Yu Tingcheng in non-standard Mandarin. Yu Qingcheng glanced at the scratches on the suitcase, and had to sigh: "Alas, forget it." ”
Although he knew that Young Master Ji might be an informant from the Special Intelligence Department, Yu Qingcheng couldn't be sure that this person was full of hooliganism. In addition, this is not the place to speak, so I can only follow Young Master Ji upstairs first, and Anwar and the other three young people also followed, and finally stopped at a corridor on the eighteenth floor. Young Master Ji made a look, Anwar stepped forward and patted the door, and after a while, the door opened, and Yu Qingcheng saw an amazing scene.
A three-bedroom residential room is crowded with a mess of daily necessities and small furniture. Walking with Anwar to a room, I saw ten high and low beds, or iron cages, squeezed horizontally and vertically. In each iron cage, there are all kinds of luggage, clothes, books and newspapers and other personal belongings. A few people who were sleeping in the iron cage were probably so tired that they didn't pay attention to the people in the room.
The smell of rancidity made Yu Qingcheng frown.
"Aunt Lou, you're the head of the room here, right? This is a new tenant, so I'm staying here for the time being. Anwar patted an iron cage and woke up a middle-aged and elderly woman who was sleeping inside. The woman opened her eyes and glanced at Yu Qingcheng, as if she was amazed, and pointed to a bed: "Just be there." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help muttering a few words: "There is another machine, a woman from the mainland......"
"......" Yu Tingcheng listened to her accent and knew that this old lady was also from the mainland. I don't know how long she has been in Hong Kong, and she doesn't think of herself as a mainlander anymore? But what Yu Tingcheng cares about now is, first of all, the environment here, even if she is a civilian like her, she feels that the environment here is really too bad. Anwar touched Yu Chengcheng's arm, stretched out his hand and said, "1,600 Hong Kong dollars a month, no deposit." ”
"This kind of place, one thousand and six a month?" Yu Qingcheng glanced at Young Master Ji, seriously doubting whether this guy was an informant from the Special Intelligence Department, or a counter-spy of Master Chen? Young Master Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "One thousand and six is cheap, and how many people can't even afford to live in such an iron coffin." If you don't want to come, forget it!" Yu Qingcheng sighed, took out his wallet, and took out the Hong Kong dollar he had just exchanged.
"Live here, don't make trouble, listen to Aunt Lou. Here we go. Young Master Ye waved his hand, took Anwar and left.
