Chapter Ninety-Seven: Chinatown
The bar owner walked behind the table and jerked a gun out of a drawer, and before he could raise his hand, the sixth one's gun was already on his head.
"Boss, you don't seem to be very friendly!"
Li Zhen pulled out the chair and sat down directly, the boss glanced at Li Zhen, then looked at the sixth child, sat opposite, and raised his hands: "OK, this is a misunderstanding, who told you the news here?" ”
"I'm a broker, I can read the sign at the door, the sixth put the gun down!" After that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed a stack of photos to the bar owner.
"T Building?"
The boss looked at the building and then looked at Li Zhen: "Do you want information about this building?" ”
"Yes!"
"Two hundred thousand, I have the information of this building! There are also some defensive deployments! ”
Li Zhen shook his head: "No, I don't want this, I want to know who built this building, you can tell me this person!" ”
Hearing Li Zhen's words, the boss frowned, thought for a while and then said: "I still have a little impression of this, if it's just this information, it only costs five thousand dollars, but whether you can find someone or not is none of my business!" ”
"Yes!"
"I'll take something and let this guy calm down a bit!" Seeing that the sixth child was about to raise the gun again, the bar owner slowly spoke.
"You're on your own!"
The sixth gun was still aimed at this guy's head without putting it down, and if this boss made any abnormal moves, the sixth would not hesitate to pull the trigger.
The bar owner carefully opened the drawer, took out a USB flash drive inside, and then inserted it into the computer, and after waiting for a while, the linked printer sounded, and then sent a document to Li Zhen: "This is the information you want, this person contracted the construction project of this building at that time!" ”
Li Zhen glanced at the information on it, his name was Ma Wei, and it was obvious that this was a Chinese name: "Chinese? ”
"Yes, it used to be a very famous builder in Nell, and a lot of the buildings in the whole Nell were from their engineering team, and they were very efficient!"
"And now?"
"I don't know!"
"Give me all the information of his engineering team!"
Hearing Li Zhen's words, the bar owner immediately began to raise the price: "Add another 10,000 euros, and I'll tell you!" ”
"You were about to pull out your gun just now, what do you think of this account?"
"Well, for free!"
Three minutes later, Li Zhen left the bar with the list, the sixth wiped the muzzle of the gun, and walked out as if nothing happened, as for the bar owner, he was lying on the table, blood dripping from the table.
"This guy is a fox, tsk, good luck!"
Li Zhen played with the USB flash drive in his hand, and Li Zhen had already recognized this guy from the moment he entered the door, nicknamed Fox, a person from a small country in Eastern Europe, and he used to be a broker, but he mainly sold some business intelligence, this guy also likes to eat black, and later he was wanted, and his head is worth some money, probably able to exchange for about 500,000 euros.
became a bounty hunter for a while, Li Zhen didn't have any psychological pressure, killing such a person should be called doing the right thing for heaven, money is just a convenient thing, and Li Zhen was also ready to be killed one day.
"Let's go, let's go find this Ma Wei first!"
"Good!"
Someone once said that where there are Chinese, there is Chinatown, this sentence is not very exaggerated, basically every country or region in the world will have a Chinese gathering area, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, London and other Chinatowns, and the smaller ones are like Nell, which only has about a few hundred people.
Compared to the European agglomeration, the Nell agglomeration looks more like a fortress-like place, first of all, when you come to the street, you can see people patrolling, when someone passes by in front of them, they will stare at them carefully, but when there are Chinese people coming and going, these patrolmen will greet them warmly.
After Li Zhen and Lao Liu observed for a while, they slowly walked to the street, the patrol officers looked at Li Zhen and Lao Liu, shouted in Chinese, Li Zhen stopped: "What's wrong?" ”
With a pure Chinese accent, after hearing Li Zhen's words, the patrol officer waved his hand: "It's okay, you just came to Nell?" How haven't I seen you before! ”
"Well, we are Ma Wei's relatives, come to find Ma Wei, do you know where he is now?"
Hearing Li Zhen's words, the patrolman's face was slightly wrong, but he immediately returned to normal: "Ma Wei?" I don't know if you can go in and ask for yourself! ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you!"
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen and the sixth man entered the street, and as soon as he turned around, Li Zhen touched his chin, and when the sixth saw Li Zhen's action, he knew what Li Zhen thought: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it seems that things are more complicated than I thought, this Ma Wei should have an accident, the patrol officer didn't tell us the truth just now!"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's wait, let's go, there's a Chinese restaurant over there, let's go get something to eat, someone should come looking for us later!"
Nell's Chinatown is not very large, because there are not many people, only a few hundred people, so it occupies a street more than 100 meters long.
After entering the street, I feel that I have returned to the south of the country, most of the signs hung are Chinese character signs, except for a shop and a barber shop, the most are various Chinese restaurants and construction companies, and there are two main industries of the Chinese in Africa, one is mining, and the other is the construction industry.
Mining companies are generally cooperative, while construction companies are generally small companies, mainly Chinese skilled workers, employing some black people, compared to the local black people who need several months to dig a well, the Chinese construction team is very fast, so it is also very well-known in Africa.
After scanning around and not finding the construction company on the bar owner's profile, Li Zhen felt that it might be a little complicated, but finally decided to find someone to inquire, and found a Sichuan restaurant and walked in.
When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged chubby man with a towel hanging around his neck, who was making a video with someone, and after seeing Li Zhen and others come in, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Welcome, you two have something to eat!" "It was spoken in English, but with some Chinese English accents.
"Eat whatever you want, is there a menu?"
"Yo, big brother, I'm from China, what do you want to eat, you say, my Lao Zhang's cooking level, in Nell is this!" After saying that, he gave himself a thumbs up.
"Then here are four of your best dishes!"
"Okay, wait!"
After finishing speaking, he said to the person in the video, hung up the phone, and walked into the back kitchen.
Li Zhen looked at this small shop curiously, it is very clean, except for some specific restaurants in Africa, there are almost no clean restaurants, especially the restaurants of local Africans, if you care about hygiene, it is difficult to eat.
"Brother, I always think this Chinatown is a little weird!"
Li Zhen nodded, but Nell here, and the people who beg for a living here are not simple characters.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the first Kung Pao chicken was delivered to the table, and soon the other three dishes were also delivered, three dishes and one soup, and then the boss wiped his hands and sat down at the table next to Li Zhen: "The two of you look fresh, just came to Nell?" ”
"Well, just here, the boss has been here for a long time?"
"It's been seven or eight years, but Nell, it's better to live here in Chinatown after you come, it's a mess here!" After finishing speaking, he took out a pack of wide and narrow: "The domestic family sent it to me, try it?" ”
"Thank you!"
At this time, five Chinese walked into the hotel, glanced at the boss, and then looked at Li Zhen and Lao Liu, the patrol youth next to Li Zhen when he entered the door just now, the young man whispered to the leading Chinese, the man nodded, dragged a chair to Li Zhen and Lao Liusheng.
"Uncle Tiger!" The restaurant owner said hello, and the Chinese named Uncle Tiger nodded: "Lao Zhang, go to the back first, I have something to find two!" ”
"Good!"
Lao Zhang glanced at Li Zhen and Lao Liu, turned around and walked into the back kitchen, Li Zhen stopped his chopsticks and looked at Uncle Tiger: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's okay, you eat first, I heard from the second son that there are two newcomers, come and take a look, introduce yourself, my name is Zhang Hu, the president of the Chinatown Mutual Aid Association, everyone calls me Uncle Tiger!"
Li Zhen nodded and continued to eat, not to mention that Lao Zhang's craftsmanship was not bad, better than the food cooked in many Chinese restaurants that Li Zhen had eaten outside.
Seeing that Li Zhen didn't pay attention to them, Uncle Tiger was not angry, but the young man on the side was a little angry, and looked at Li Zhen and the sixth child: "Uncle Tiger is talking to you!" ”
Li Zhen didn't raise his head, he quickly finished eating a bowl of rice, and the sixth child also put down his chopsticks and looked at Uncle Tiger: "Uncle Tiger, you came just in time, I have something I want to ask you about!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen wiped his mouth, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, Li Zhen, the president of this kind of mutual aid association in Chinatown, is still more respectful, Chinese people are outside, pay attention to mutual help and mutual assistance, of course, there are some people who specialize in pit fellow villagers, but most of this kind of Chinese mutual aid associations are to protect Chinese people abroad, especially after the incident in a small country in the past nine years.
"What's the matter?"
"We are Ma Wei's relatives, come to find Ma Wei, Uncle Hu, do you know where Ma Wei is?"
Hearing Li Zhen's words, Uncle Hu's eyes narrowed and looked at Li Zhen: "Ma Wei's relatives? Which Ma Wei? ”
"It's before, the boss of Swift Construction Company, Ma Wei, my family said that my uncle mixed well in Nell, and the two of us couldn't mix well in China, so all came to join our uncle!"
Hearing Li Zhen's words, Uncle Tiger nodded, revealing his original expression: "That's it, okay, I'll take you to him, come with me!" ”
"Good!" Li Zhen stood up and shouted, "Boss, how much!" ”
"Two hundred, collect RMB, US dollars, euros, no local currency!"
Li Zhen nodded, took out a fifty-euro bill from his pocket and put it on the table: "The money is on the table, I'll go first, I'm here to eat when I have time!" ”
"Wait a minute, I'm looking for money!"
"No, it's delicious!"
After going out, Uncle Tiger took the lead, the three young men were at the end, and Li Zhen and Lao Liu were vaguely surrounded in the middle.
After Uncle Tiger took Li Zhen and others for dozens of meters, he turned his head and walked into a room, there were several Chinese people in the house who were busy, and after seeing Uncle Tiger coming, he immediately greeted him, Uncle Tiger waved his hand, continued to move forward, and finally came to the door of a house: "Come in!" ”
Li Zhen glanced around, walked in without any hesitation, and after entering the house, a place similar to an office, Uncle Tiger sat directly on the boss's chair opposite the table, Li Zhen and the sixth sat opposite, and the other four blocked the retreat and stared at Li Zhen and the sixth child.
"Uncle Tiger, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Say, what are you looking for Ma Wei to do? ”
"Ma Wei is my uncle, I'm here to take refuge in ......"
Hearing this, Uncle Tiger waved his hand directly: "Okay, don't say this sentence again in the future, I don't have a nephew like you!" ”
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, this Uncle Tiger seems to be Ma Wei's uncle?
"Okay, I'll find out later!"
Hearing this, Uncle Tiger stared at Li Zhen: "Say, what are you looking for Ma Wei to do?" ”
"We're coming to him, something!"
"Who sent you?"
Hearing this, Li Zhen felt that things might be a little complicated, and frowned: "No one was found by ourselves!" ”
"Really? It seems that if I don't give you a little color, I won't say it! After finishing speaking, he gave the people behind him a look, and at this time, the sixth man stood up suddenly, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Uncle Hu, and several people behind him also pulled out their weapons and pointed at Li Zhen.
"Uncle Tiger, I have something to do with Ma Wei, please tell me the address!"
Uncle Hu, who was pointed at the gun, glanced at Li Zhen, then looked at the sixth child beside him, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat, Li Zhen looked at this guy, obviously this guy is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, otherwise he would not be pointed at the gun and his face will not change.
"I need to know things!"
Li Zhen motioned to the sixth to put down his weapon: "Building T is built by Ma Wei's construction company, I need drawings for this building, this is the matter, of course, I will give Ma Wei some money!" ”
Hearing Li Zhen's words, Uncle Tiger sighed: "I knew that because of this incident, you should come with me!" ”
After finishing speaking, he got up again, took Li Zhen out of the room, and then turned left and around the room again, came to a room, then opened a basement entrance, and then walked in first.
"Brother!"
"It's fine!"
Li Zhen smiled, signaled the sixth child not to worry, and followed Uncle Tiger into the basement.
The basement is large and has a lot of stuff, but the most striking thing is that there is a bed in the corner of the basement, and a man is sitting on the edge of the bed and eating.
