Chapter 29: Fire on All Sides
At this moment, it is noon, the sea is calm, and the sky is clear. Our yacht slowly approached the island, and I took the binoculars and looked into the distance.
On the island, as Wick said, there is a tall lighthouse, which seems to have been built during the colonial period, and it must be hundreds of years old. The abandoned lighthouse is covered with traces of rust and is about a dozen meters high.
Our boat avoided the reef and came to shore, and Wick stood beside me, sighing, "This island is such a place where you can land, and you can only come here every day when you are punishing the cháo, and after the retreat of the cháo, the reef blocks the landing site."
I nodded silently and glanced at Ciro behind me: "Bring your things and follow me up." ”
Wick hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly, "I won't go up with you, I'll wait on the boat." ”
I didn't say anything more, just nodded.
Stepping on the stone platform under the lighthouse, looking at the entrance of the black hole under the lighthouse, I walked in the front, stepped in, and there was a fishy smell in front of me, and the people around me couldn't help frowning, I looked at the blood under my feet that had completely dried up, all of which had solidified into a piece of dark red sè, red and black!
Slowly climbing up the stairs, I made my way to the top floor of the lighthouse, even though I had been prepared. But at first glance, on a table in front of me, there were five heads, the hair was scattered, and the face was gray and blue. There was more white and less black in the eyes, staring at me so faintly, my scalp still couldn't help but tingle.
And when I walked up, the brothers who followed me, including Ciro, let out a burst of exclamation!
The lighthouse was well ventilated and the sea breeze was strong, so although the heads had been cut off for more than a day, they did not rot, and I looked at the many brothers behind me. Everyone was pale, surprised, or angry. Or looking at the heads on the table in horror, I walked over slowly, and then leaned down and knelt down on one knee in front of the table. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out three, and glanced back at Ciro: "Fire." ”
Ciro was barely composed. Coming and lighting a cigarette for me, I leaned over the ground and picked up a handful of dust, pinched the dirt into a pile, and put three cigarettes in front of my skull.
Many of the brothers in the back, involuntarily, all knelt on one knee like me.
"Dead brothers! Although my little five is not familiar with everyone, everyone is in the same circle, and they are all in their own robes! You were killed by the Vietnamese. I, Xiao Wu, will definitely seek justice for you and ask for blood debts! After I said this, I sighed: "You have spirits in heaven, and you can look at them." ”
After saying this, I don't know if it was a mental factor or a coincidence, I felt a gust of yīn wind blowing past me, and the group of brothers behind me were all sè.
As usual, I said loudly: "Brothers who died, we have come to collect your corpses today, and it is no wonder that we have offended!" ”
After saying that, I quietly knelt on one knee, and waited for the three cigarettes on the table to burn out, then I stood up, turned around and took the wooden boxes from Ciro's hands, and held the five heads on the table into the boxes with both hands.
Then I searched a little on the top floor of the lighthouse, and found the location of the place where Wick said the body was dumped in the abandoned searchlight.
Looking at the broken corpse in front of me, which had been cut into dozens of pieces, my face turned pale, and a wave of anger burst out in my heart, and my fingers were trembling...... Suddenly he let out a loud cry and smashed his fist against the wall.
I hit so hard that the joints were bleeding, but I didn't seem to know it.
The corpses were piled up in a haphazard manner, and the ground was covered with dark red and black blood, faint and foul smell, and I could even see mosquitoes and flies flying.
I looked back at the person I had brought, then took out a pair of gloves from my arms and put them on: "Collect the bodies of the dead brothers!" ”
The others were wearing gloves and walked with me to carry the body.
Because the scene in front of me was so terrible, the corpses of the five big living people were brutally dismembered, and the broken corpses were piled together, congealed blood, the smell of fish, and the terrible scars......
Wow!
One of the people I brought with me couldn't take it anymore and retched against the wall, and I looked at him and didn't say anything. There are also people who are a little trembling in their movements, as if they are a little afraid, and they seem to dare not move if they are afraid to move.
I finally got angry, walked up and kicked him hard: "What are you afraid of!" What's so scary!! ”
Looking at the person who had been kicked by me, my face was full of anger, I pointed to the pile of corpses, and said loudly: "You can see clearly! Who are they! Who are they!! They are not outsiders!! They are our own brothers! It's all our robes!!! Your own brother is dead, what are you afraid of!! Could it be that your brother will turn into a ghost and eat you!! If you die and your brother is afraid and doesn't dare to collect your body, will you be cold!! ”
I scolded angrily, and instead of being the slightest annoyance, the brother who was kicked by me straightened up, looked guilty, stunned for a moment, slapped himself with his backhand, and then without saying a word, bent down to resist half of the corpse, and strode down the stairs......
The whole process lasted an hour. We carried all the bodies underneath and packed them in the body bags we had brought...... In particular, I can't let go of the ...... We tried to piece together the bodies of five people though...... But we couldn't put their heads together because we couldn't tell which head belonged to which corpse......
This result makes my heart very hot and cold!
At this moment, I really want to kill!
I used to stand for a long time in front of the wall with the blood letters, looking at the lines left on the wall, and the last cobra in blood...... I almost burst fire in my eyes!
I had people take seawater from a bucket and rinse the lighthouse up and down, wash the blood off the ground, and then get on the boat and prepare some of the things I had brought and throw them in the lighthouse.
I found Wick: "These corpses, I can only trouble you to bring them back, help me burn them, the ashes will be stored with you first, and when this matter is over, I will bury all the brothers who died this time." ”
"You're not going back?" Wick was a little surprised.
I looked back at the lonely island: "This will be my home base for the next few days!" Hum...... Our current nest is stared at to death, and if it's a bit of a stir, there will be problems right away. The place is secluded and ...... The Vietnamese just did this kind of thing here, and they wouldn't have thought that we would still be living here. After speaking, I patted Wick: "So, I still have to ask you for help, we have been living here for the past few days, and the food and fresh water we need are all delivered by you...... I ......"
I pulled him over and said in a low voice, "I'm going to do something...... But you also know, according to what you said, the inspection of the site, there may be inner jiān inside our large circle. So, I don't dare let anyone else know that I'm hiding here! The only people I can trust now are these brothers around me, who were born and died in Vietnam with me. As for the people in the family, I can't tell for now. I've been living here since today, as for what happens next...... Wick, you're just waiting to watch the news for the next two days. ”
Wick hesitated, took a step back, looked at me, and said solemnly, "My old friend, I don't want to get into trouble!" You know, I'm quitting. ”
"I didn't let you take any chances, I just asked you to bring me some of the most commonly used fresh water and food...... At the same time, keep your mouth shut and don't mention it to anyone else. It's as simple as that. I guess it's not risky, is it? I looked at him.
Wick hesitated for a few seconds and sighed, "I knew I really shouldn't have taken your two packs of dollars in the first place...... Forget it, I'll just give you a favor back. ”
"No, it's not to return the favor." I said, "You're helping me, and I'm going to be grateful to you." ”
"Okay, I'll do it myself, I won't let my subordinates get involved, and I'm sure it's going to be very secret." Wick said, "I'll come again in the evening, and I'll tow you a boat then, otherwise how will you get out of the island?" ”
"From now on, everybody hands over their phones." I said lightly: "It's not that I can't trust my brother, but we are starting now, and everything we do is ready to lose our heads at any time!" The slightest mistake can be a bad thing! So everybody hand over the phone, and if there's anything, you have to tell me or Ciro first! Then, no one is allowed to leave the island and no contact with the outside world! ”
I watched as everyone handed over their phones and turned them all off. Then throw it into a bag.
Then I asked a few people to bring up a few of the boxes we had brought with us.
There are firearms, ammunition in the box...... Others are some "props" that I have specially prepared.
"Next, we're ready to muddy the waters in Vancouver!
At noon the next day, on the street in front of the largest Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, this is the territory of the largest Chinese gang in the entire Chinatown, the "Nanyang Association", and this restaurant belongs to their property.
At noon, a black sedan suddenly drove from the east side of the street, like a wild horse, and rushed to the door of the restaurant, the roaring sound of car engines, and the screeching sound of brakes...... Immediately, under the surprised gaze of many people, two or three thin men with masked faces came out of the car, carrying a bucket in their hands, and without saying a word, they splashed towards the door of the restaurant......
Wow!
The strong smell of bloody blood immediately filled the air, and amid the frightened screams of the people around them, the two men shouted a few words in Vietnamese: "Chinese, this is just the beginning of revenge!" ”
Immediately, they got into the car and sped away.
At that time, someone reported jǐng and wrote down the license plate number of the car, but after jǐng checked, the car was reported lost by the owner an hour before the incident.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, near the Indian neighborhood, there was an attack.
There's an Indian-run construction company here, but it's actually underworld. Indian gangsters use it here to launder money. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when a person in charge of the company walked out of the gate surrounded by several subordinates, a car suddenly flew around.
In the car, several Arab costumes were dressed in robes. A man with a turban, a face covered, a gun in his hand, when the car sped by. A rush swept past. The bullets rained down on the surrounding cars, walls, and glasses. The Indian was surrounded by his men and hid behind a dumpster. By the time they rushed out, the car had gone without a trace.
At six o'clock in the evening, a few Iranians wandered to the territory that originally belonged to the Vietnamese gang, but as soon as they walked through a street, they were dragged into a box with their heads covered, and they couldn't help but be beaten violently. After the fight, the person who beat them told them in Chinese: "Now this territory has been taken over by our Hua Gang!" Don't come here in the future! ”
At four o'clock in the morning, in a Vietnamese migrant colony. Someone called Jǐng to report that a car bomb had been found here, but Jǐng blocked the road and finally ruled out the danger, which was a false alarm, and just as Jǐng was about to close the team, a garbage bin was less than 500 meters away from the scene of the incident. It was blown up into the sky with a loud bang......
After dawn, the entire underworld in Vancouver is in chaos!
The Arabs began to look for trouble with the Chinese Gang, and the Chinese began to look for the Vietnamese. The Indians found someone to threaten the Arabs, accusing them of suddenly turning the other cheek......
And the jǐng side is even more busy, on the one hand, looking for the person who reported the fake jǐng, and looking for the bomb that was put in the trash, on the other hand, several national and local organizations on the underworld are all gearing up, looking like a tiger, jǐng fang invited several gangs to drink tea at the beginning, and some of them went. Some didn't go.
In the afternoon, the Arabs and Indians were the first to start.
The Indian gangs sent men to avenge the looting and attack, and they sent someone to throw a tear gas canister at an Arab-controlled restaurant, but the slow action was caught and the Arab was beaten half to death, which led to a skirmish between the two sides. On one street, a fifteen-minute shootout broke out. The Jǐng side sent three teams of people to blockade the place. At the same time, the heads of several Indian gangs and several Arab leaders were forcibly summoned into the jǐng inspection bureau.
The movement of the Chinese gang was not large, but the Iranians provoked several times later, and the Chinese gang was patient, but some people below clashed with the Iranians and injured seven or eight with knives.
It's the next day.
By the third day, things had expanded.
Almost overnight, on the long Hastings Street, the honking of the jǐng car sounded all night! At the beginning, a house was on fire, and the fire spread very badly, and when the firefighters arrived at the location, they found that the things that were burned on the ground actually included 20 kilograms of drugs!
And in this house, there were originally more than a dozen addicts, all of whom were caught. After that, a few gangsters began to fight each other. Coupled with the friction of the previous day, after dawn, the fight officially begins!
In just one day, the jǐng inspection bureaus in all districts of Vancouver were almost overcrowded, and when they walked into the jǐng inspection bureau, they were all handcuffed and escorted by some guys who didn't look like good people at first glance, and half of them were injured.
The cells in the Jǐng inspection bureau are almost full of people.
In this case, the Jǐng side was anxiously looking for the leaders of the major gangs, asking them to restrain themselves and ordering them to cease fire......
Even, the jǐng side used some tough measures to arrest several gang bosses...... As a result, after someone provoked it, hundreds of people gathered downstairs in the jǐng inspection bureau to demonstrate, strongly demanding that jǐng check release people...... Even several newspapers and TV stations in Vancouver reported on it, and in the end, even NBCN reporters came.
What was originally a small friction has become a big friction...... And the most mistaken mistake of the jǐng side is that it should not "invite" the bosses of several gangsters back.
Once the people below lose their leader, then they will be in chaos...... In addition, if someone secretly provokes and fuels the troubles, then it will be difficult to clean up.
In the end, it evolved into a land grab!
After the Vietnamese shrank and hid, they left a piece of territory out, a few blocks, in the eyes of the various gangs, undoubtedly a piece of fat! However, because of the previous deterrence of the Vietnamese, no one dared to touch this territory for the time being, and coupled with the existence of our big circle, they also seem to know that we and the Vietnamese will have to fight hard sooner or later, and if we go to take over the territory now, we may not be able to get benefits.
But once it's messed up, it's messed up, it's out of control, people aren't so calm.
After all, gangsters are always gangsters. Without strict discipline and strict organization, it is impossible to act as rigorously as the army. Once the people below sprinkle it, the boss above may not be able to restrain it!
Soon. The territory left behind by the Vietnamese began to be encroached upon, and several gangs fought each other during this time.
And the territory of our big circle, after I recalled a lot of brothers outside, it will naturally cause the control of some territories to be significantly weakened, and at this time, everyone is red-eyed, and it is inevitable that someone will come to find trouble.
The core elements of the real big circle were ordered by me not to go out in the car repair yard, and the outside yard and the territory were all guarded by those peripheral personnel, very quickly. We just went to one field after another.
At the beginning, the other party was still restrained, just a test. See how we react. But seeing that we didn't make any moves, they probably thought that the big circle had been wiped out at once, and they didn't dare to come out. So it was a blatant land grab.
In the jǐng side, almost all jǐng cha have canceled their vacations, and the number of patrol cars on the streets has doubled.
Most importantly. The deterioration of the law and order situation caused many mínzhǔ groups to start holding daily protests and demonstrations in front of the city's zhèngfǔ gates, which also dispersed some of their jǐng forces to maintain order......
After a long time. An old gangster once said: "I've been in Vancouver for half my life, and I've never seen Vancouver like this except when Daquan just landed in Canada." ”
"Little Five, drink a little?" Ciro handed me a bottle of water.
Instead of drinking, I poured it on my head and wiped my face vigorously.
I smeared some black shoe polish on my face, blackening the skin on my face, and then I tore off the turban I was wearing and threw it on the ground, which was typical of Arab attire.
The inferior shoe polish punctured my skin and hurt a little hotly. But I don't care about this little thing anymore.
"How much blood is there?" I glanced at Ciro.
"Running out." Ciro smiled wryly. His face was also black and white: "We don't have to pour dog blood on the Hua Gang again, right?" ”
"Well, almost." I smiled, took a towel and wiped my face, and walked outside. A few brothers are sitting and wiping their guns, and there are people who are trying to write what questions are written stroke by stroke, zigzag.
"Little Wu, do you think I don't write like a Vietnamese note?"
I took one look at it and said with a smile: "Well, yes, you write a little sloppily, otherwise it will be very deliberately drawn." I'm going to throw this thing into the old nest of Indian Ahsan tonight. ”
It was a piece of cowhide on which I asked him to write two swearing, threatening words in Vietnamese.
"I think it's almost hot." Ciro looked at Big Me with a smile.
Thinking of our misdeeds in the past few days, Ciro couldn't help but want to laugh. I looked at him, wiped a bit of black oil off his nose, and looked at Ciro's young and impulsive face, and I couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in my heart. Obviously, this kid is a year older than me, but every time I am with him, I always feel as if he is my younger brother.
I patted him on the shoulder: "It's almost, I think the jǐng party can't help it anymore." ”
"That jǐngcha named Jeff is going crazy. How many calls he's made to you these days! You don't even answer ...... In the car repair yard, the jǐng party also went there many times, but this time we didn't commit anything, and the jǐng party didn't dare to force it in to find you. Our lawyer now lives almost in the jǐng bureau, and spends a day with them...... Hehe, the lawyer that Xiao Pig is looking for is really good, and even Director Jǐng is hiding from him now. ”
