"I originally took my first mate to the island first, although I have a good relationship with the big circle, but I know that the people on his island are very cautious, I have been close to the island once before, but I am only allowed to go with the first mate, if I bring more people, I am worried that there will be some misunderstanding.

I remember that there were people standing there on the abandoned lighthouse. The peripheral quality of the big circle is getting worse and worse, but the real big circle is still very jīng. But this time, when I went to the island, I saw that there was no one on the lighthouse.

The island was small, the outer reef was very messy, and there was only one passage to the east for boats to get through. Me and the first mate, he didn't have a weapon, I only had a gun on me. I'm going to go up and negotiate first, the goods are on my ship, and if it's okay and the negotiations go well, they will send someone on my ship to move it, but they won't allow my people to go to the island.

Underneath the lighthouse was a concrete platform, and I felt wrong when I walked up to it, because I could ask about the smell of blood. It smelled faintly rusty, and I can't be mistaken. I was a little hesitant at the time, so I asked the first mate to turn around and go back immediately, and then wait for me below with a group of brothers, and rush up if there was a problem.

The original five people on the island had a good relationship with me. They are all big circles, they are much older than me, they are from my father's generation, my mother is Chinese, and I knew two of them when I was in Chinatown.

If it is in normal times, on the cement platform under the lighthouse. Someone should be there guarding it. There is only one entrance to the lighthouse, which is below, and when you enter the inside, there is only one spiral tower going up. I had a gun in my hand. But as soon as I walked into the lighthouse, on the lowest floor, I froze.

There was blood on the ground, half of it was coagulated, half of it wasn't. I stepped on it, sticky. At that time, I was shocked, although I had some premonitions, but I was still a little panicked. People here aren't going to all die, are they?

I tried to shout, but there was no answer, only my own voice echoing through the lighthouse. My God. That hellish place, there was only the sound of the waves and the sound of seagulls outside. To tell you the truth, I really wanted to turn around and run back. But anyway. I know the big circle here, and the two sides still have some friendship, something happened here, I passed by, and I couldn't ignore it when I saw it. It depends on what happens. ”

"And then?" My face was already ugly: "And then what did you see?" ”

Wick hesitated. Looking at me, he was a little puzzled: "Chen Yang, why are you asking this?" Are you interested in the big circle? ”

I didn't answer him that question. Just said casually: "What you said is so terrible, I just want to know." ”

"Okay." Wick sighed and continued......

"There was a lot of blood on the ground, and according to my eyesight, if an ordinary person had shed so much blood, he would have died a long time ago. So I judge that the blood here is probably not alone! There were also some footprints on the ground, all of which were left by people stepping on blood that was about to clot. I also saw traces of dragging on the ground, most likely by someone dragging the dead body off the ground. But I was confused. Since someone dragged the body away, why not just cover up the traces? Instead, it left so much blood that it was not swept away.

Later, I was brave enough to go up the stairs and walk to the top floor of the lighthouse in one go,...... To tell you the truth, I, Captain Wick, have also experienced life and death at sea! Even when I faced the butcher's knife of Mardin's bastard, I didn't blink. Oh yes, Mardin is dead, I almost forgot, you escaped from his ship. ”

Wick pulled away the other words, and I was a little impatient, but I had to wait patiently for him to continue. Thankfully, Wick is not a talkative person and quickly gets back to the point.

"I was standing on the edge of the stairs, and when I looked at it, my legs went limp, and my soul flew away. I almost rolled down the stairs. If it weren't for the handrail that I grabbed on, I'm afraid I would have rolled down and broken my leg. ”

"What's on the lighthouse? Corpses? "My voice is dry. Either way, those are the people of our big circle!

"Well...... To be exact, ...... Head. Wick closed his eyes, his face pale, his expression still full of fear.

Here's what Wick told me intermittently:

Above the lighthouse, just facing the staircase, was a table, very shabby. It is conceivable that usually, these big circle brothers who stay here are eating at this table, killing time. After all, staying on an abandoned island, rìzi is very boring.

But now, on this broken table, it is neatly arranged...... Their heads!

Five human heads, neatly placed in a row, hair and face covered in blood. The most terrifying thing is that after they died, some of them did not close their eyes, and their eyes were angry or fearful, so faintly in the direction of the stairs......

The heads were cut off after death, and the incisions in the neck were neat, and they were made with sharp weapons.

Wick hesitated, and he told me one thing, such an incision could only have been made by a Vietnamese. The Vietnamese like to use a half-length knife, which is somewhat similar to a mountain chopper, which is suitable for jungle warfare in the army. Someone from his father's generation had fought in the Vietnam War and brought back one of these knives.

What's more, he also saw several cigarette butts on the ground, which were Vietnam's Victory brand cigarettes. Wick even brought back cigarette butts. He did it for a reason.

The previous hatred between the big circle and the Vietnamese gang has long been unravelable. This bloody case will obviously be the beginning of another bloody storm. And Wick came to the island by accident, he was worried that he would be mistaken for a murderer by a large circle of people, after all, he was the first person to go to the scene, and he himself was considered a person with an underworld background. So he left some evidence. Think of it as a useful way to justify yourself.

It is very obvious that the Vietnamese did not leave immediately after killing all five large circles here, and they even took the time to cut off their heads and make some arrangements. They also stopped to rest and smoked cigarettes.

Five heads were placed on the table, and on the wall next to them, a line of large letters was written in blood! The blood was dripping and the handwriting was shocking.

"Big circle, this is just the beginning of revenge!"

But the difference is that under this line of words, someone drew a very hideous snake pattern with eyes in blood. Wick took a closer look, and the snake was very simple, but lifelike, from the thickness of the lines on the wall, Wick thought it had been painted by someone else with his fingers dipped in blood.

Bang!

I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart, and I slammed my fist into the car. Wick gave me a strange look and said, "I think only those Vietnamese madmen can do such a cruel method of killing." Do you feel angry too? Alas, I also think it's too cruel. When we do business at sea, we will inevitably encounter conflicts with people, and it is not without human life when we fight, but if we kill someone, we will only throw the corpse into the sea. ”

I suppressed my anger: "What about the corpse? ”

"Corpse ......" Wick's face turned pale suddenly, and he quickly rolled open the car window, and then lay on it and vomited desperately.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? Do I need to park? Seeing this, the driver of the car asked.

Wick and I just talked in Chinese, and the driver obviously didn't know Chinese. Wick waved and reluctantly said, "No, keep driving." ”

"Corpse, what the hell is going on?"

The bodies were all dumped inside the top floor of the lighthouse.

There used to be a searchlight, but it has been abandoned, and in its original place, a ...... has been placed Corpse.

However, it is no longer recognizable. Because each corpse was cut into many pieces!

Wick's story is the same as what happened to Hongda! Every dead circle, arms, legs, was cut off! The bodies of the dead were dumped on the top floor of the lighthouse, and Wick vomited on the spot when he saw so many broken bodies piled up.

And after he finished vomiting, he still forcibly hit the jīng god and checked the scene.

There was clearly a fierce battle there, and it was too hasty to go up before, but after Wick calmed down, he checked and found some traces.

Lighthouses are a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It stands to reason that if the big circle has a gun in his hand, even if the people below are killed, as long as the people above are holding guns and guarding the stairs, then it will be difficult for the people below to rush up unless they use heavy weapons!

The lighthouse was intact, and the Vietnamese did not use heavy firearms. After all, it is not too far from the coast, and the use of heavy weapons, the movement is too big, and it causes the coastal guards, then there is no way.

To Wick's surprise, there wasn't even a bullet hole on the stairs! In other words, the Vietnamese went up the stairs to the top of the lighthouse.

But...... Obviously on the bottom floor of the lighthouse, there are so many blood stains under the stairs!! It is clear that the large circle that originally guarded the gate of the bottom floor was killed! But the people below were killed, how could the big circle above not find out? And let the Vietnamese pass the stairs smoothly without even firing a shot?

"So, I suspect that the battle may well have started from above......" Wick said slowly.

"Above?" I raised an eyebrow.

……… This speculation struck me as strange. Because I found that there were many traces of fierce fighting on the top floor of the lighthouse, and there was blood splattered on the walls...... You know, the blood that splattered out looked completely different from the blood on the ground that was slowly flowing from the knife. In addition, there are bullet holes and even cut-off marks from knives.

And the rest of it is very simple, almost nothing can be found. ”

By the time Wick had said this, the car had already driven into the city. The surrounding streets gradually bustle with wide roads, and the lights of the city at night, pedestrians, cars, and ......

But Wick's eyes seemed to have seen a ghost, and he said slowly: "So, such a situation is worth my suspicion...... If the battle starts at the top of the lighthouse, there is only one answer......

He looked at me deeply.

I was also moved, and exhaled: "You mean, there is an inner jiān in the big moon." ”

内jiān! It can only be an inner jiān!!

The fortress was conquered from the inside, and in the most central place, a battle took place, and those above died first. The people guarding the gate below were instead killed by the enemy who rushed out from inside!

Therefore, there are no traces of a battle on the stairs!

That's the only reason that makes sense!

Wick smiled wryly, "My dear friend, I don't know why I'm talking to you so much...... Alas, I'm taking some risks, and I shouldn't have told you that. It's just ......" he said with a bitter face, "It's just today's thing." I saw this on it and instinctively felt scared! Originally, I just hated Vietnamese. But now, I think they're a bunch of crazy people! Normal people don't go against madmen...... I was climbing down the stairs almost all the way. My legs are so weak that I almost can't walk. Out of the lighthouse, I walked under the reef below, and my first mate was waiting with a few crew members with guns. I did not let them go up, but forbade them to go ashore and ordered them to return to the ship at once! I don't want to get in trouble! If these guys leave some traces on it that shouldn't be left on it, and let the circle misunderstand that we did it, then it's going to be troublesome! I didn't say anything about it, not even the first mate, although he wanted to know, but my first mate was a very good person. He listened to my orders and was very obedient. I don't tell him, and he won't ask me. ”

"Then why are you telling me?" I glanced at him.

"Because...... I felt scared. Wick sighed: "That's how people are. In joy. When you are sad or afraid, you want to find someone to share or share with you. This thing is so scary that I have been holding it in my heart for a day, and I don't dare to say it. My crew is a bunch of rough people. Tell them that it will only cause trouble. But you're different, we've been on the ship for a while. You're not a bad person, and you're not a mouthy person. It is the most suitable person to share this fear in my heart. ”

My eyes flashed: "Wick, did you tell the big circle about this?" ”

"I ...... Not yet. Wick grimaced: "I don't dare...... I guess that there is an inner jiān in the big circle...... But I don't know who the inner jiān is...... In case I go and tell the big circle and this inner jiān knows, I'll be in danger. I can't tell who's a friend and who's a butcher! ”

This is actually Wick's concern.

The thing was done by the Vietnamese, and it was clearly like our retaliation and demonstration. We're not going to suspect Wick anyway. However, his reaction was normal.

Of course. He said that Jiān in the earth is really very likely. It is normal that he does not dare to look for a big circle because of this.

Wick, who had already had the idea of retiring, made up his mind to retire after seeing this scene with his own eyes. This is also normal.

"Chen Yang, you have been coming to Canada for a long time, you are Chinese, you must know the grievances between Daquan and the Vietnamese Gang. This time they must have fought again...... Wick sighed, "So I decided that it would be better to stay out of the way, I already have enough money to continue to take risks." Alas, it's just not known who will win this time the big circle and the Vietnamese. ”

I shook my head: "I don't know. However, the big circle is very capable of fighting, and their local forces have never been put on the table, so the Vietnamese may not be the opponents of the big circle. ”

Wick sighed, shook his head, and looked at me with some pity: "Mr. Chen Yang, you don't know the situation too well. Now the situation of the big circle is a little difficult...... Didn't you listen to the news today? There was a garage in the city that refused to be inspected by the Jǐng side and got into a conflict with the Jǐng side...... Others don't know, but I do, that place is an old stronghold in Daquan. Although the news does not report too much, it is simply brought over. But I know that things are certainly not simple...... And the leader of the big circle, that Mr. Fang, oh, it should be Mr. Fang Baye, he hasn't shown up until now...... Alas, there was originally a Mr. Tiger in the big circle, and I had met him, and he was a very powerful person. It's a pity that I heard that he passed away in the first time. Now, the big circle lacks a strong ...... Well, what do you say, by the way, General! It's the general! A large circle is like a group of soldiers, but they lack a general. I heard that there was a young man in Dayue, called 'Little Fifth Brother', and he was very capable of fighting, and he personally beat the most powerful double-flower red stick of the Hua Gang to death over the years, this person is very capable, and now many people from the original Hua Gang are passing on his name. It's a pity that I heard that person is too young, I'm afraid it's not enough weight. ”

I didn't say anything with a grim face.

Vietnamese...... Hey! Vietnamese!!

I was a little distracted, thinking about my own thoughts all the way, and when the car drove to the entrance of the hospital, Wick patted me on the shoulder: "My old friend, the hospital has arrived, you have to move faster, you are not allowed to park here." ”

I came to my senses. It was indeed the hospital outside, and under the huge red sè cross pattern at the door, there was a yellow man with an anxious face, but it was the person I knew! He nervously watched the people around him come and go. I also look at my watch from time to time.

This man is none other than one of my brothers, and one of the nine men I brought out of the garage.

I patted Wick on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Wick...... Well, you can't call the captain, it should be Mr. Chairman! Thank you for your help, you really helped me a lot!! After a pause, I whispered, "From a personal point of view, I think you made the right choice!" You should also know that there is an old Chinese saying called washing hands in a golden basin. Even if you retire. I think it's the right choice. ”

I jumped out of the car, but instead of leaving immediately, I looked at Wick: "That's right. Even though I know it's hard to talk about, can I get a phone number from you? This will allow me to find you at my convenience...... I have one more important thing that I need your help with......"

Wick was a little embarrassed: "Help? If you come to me for tea, of course I'm welcome. But...... What do you want me to help you? You know, I've chosen to retire if you're going to ship prohibited stuff. I can't do it anymore, I'm all fishing boats now. If you need it, I can introduce a couple of my old guys who are still in the business to help you out. ”

I shook my head repeatedly: "No, no. You're mistaken, I don't need you to help me carry things. It's ......" I looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You said this in the car just now, and in the future, at some time, I may need you to intervene...... Do something like testifying. After all, you're the first to arrive at the scene. ”

Wick was startled and glared at me, "Oh God! Chen yang...... You...... Are you also a member of the big circle? ”

I looked at him and nodded slowly.

At this time. My brother who was standing under the red cross sign in the hospital finally saw me, his face showed infinite surprise, his face changed dramatically, and he rushed towards me quickly, as if the man who had fallen into the water finally saw a straw, his eyebrows were full of anxiety, and at the same time he said loudly: "Fifth Brother Dong...... It's you...... You're finally back! ”

Hearing him call me "Fifth Brother Gang", Wick's mouth suddenly became "〇".

While Wick was still stunned, I shook his hand, "Wick, please." ”

Only then did he come back to his senses, and suddenly rubbed his nose vigorously, and sighed: "God, I can't imagine that the person I saved at the beginning is now the little fifth brother of the Chinese in the whole Vancouver......" His eyes were a little complicated, looking at me.

I knew what he meant, and said, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble for you, and I won't harm you." ”

"Well, and I don't have a choice." Wick smiled self-deprecatingly, he took out a pen and quickly wrote a string of numbers on my hand: "This is my number, you can call me at any time...... But let me be clear first, dangerous things I can refuse! ”

Then, as if he couldn't wait, he ran away in the car as fast as he could.

The brother next to me had been waiting next to me for a while, and I turned around and looked at him with a worried look on my face: "How is the situation now?" ”

His eyes were red, and he whispered, "Ciro is guarding the ward above, and he asked me to wait for you below...... Several of our own brothers are on it. Ciro said you'd definitely come back......"

"Where's the eighth master?" I looked at his red eyes, and a premonition flashed in my heart.

Then I heard him speak to me in a trembling voice......

"Eighth master, eighth master, I'm afraid, no......"
