Chapter 120: Landing
Big ships can't get off the port directly, and the repulse bay in Ha Long Town can't accommodate cruise ships of this level. With a loud whistle, the cruise ship that pierced through the ocean came into everyone's field of vision.
The few people sitting around to rest understood the boss's intentions.
"What's coming back?" The newcomer was still confused, and the loud whistle made another loud roar, and the waves rose and fell as the hull swayed.
"This is the top of the top." The long-mouthed man had one more sentence, and the newcomer reacted.
"The boss asked us to come over ......"
"That's right, grab the equipment, let's go to the port immediately."
Seven or eight men stood up one after another, put on their harpoon guns again, tied the ropes tightly, tied them firmly behind their backs, made the clanging sound of metal clashes, and with all their strength, they ran in unison towards the sea.
The old detective knew that the ship must be an important member of the Shark Gang. It has not been a day or two since their city bureau has been keeping an eye on the gangs in this area, but they have not been able to catch any of them, largely because the leaders of these gangs are often elusive and leave almost no traces.
This is a hot opportunity, the old detective unconsciously rubbed his hands, and felt a hot current in his chest and abdomen. Although along the way, he was laughing at himself, he didn't have any fighting spirit when he was old, and he didn't have much enthusiasm, unlike young people. But seeing that decades of hard work may be close at hand, just one step away, he still couldn't help but get excited.
He smothered his head and took a deep breath, his heavy breath accompanied his heart and made a loud sound.
Fortunately, by this time, the shark's men had already gone far away, so they didn't have to worry about their voices being heard. He took a slight breath.
"Being old is really being old." The old detective shook his head and covered his heart, and his heart, which was the same age as him, gradually lost the enthusiasm of his youth, and gradually cooled down.
At the same time, a loud roar was heard. The old detective's heart sank, and when he realized what was happening, he immediately turned around, and the voice came from the seaside of the port.
The old detective had a bad premonition in his heart, he immediately caught up with the shark's men, after coming out of the town, it should have been a noisy fish market, this scene the old detective had seen countless times, but this time it did not appear.
The fish market was left in a mess, scattered with stalls, goods that had not had time to be taken away, and even fishing goods, fishing nets, and hooks were scattered all over the ground. If you hadn't known it beforehand, you might think that this was an unlucky town that had experienced a plague or a disaster.
But that's not the case. The old detective walked in the direction of the harbor as he bypassed the clutter, and although the shark's men had long since disappeared from view by this time, the old detective was sure that they would only go to one place.
Port.
The old criminal policeman hesitated, there was not a single police force left around him now, even armed, in order to act lightly, there were no serious guns, only an old Browning product for personal defense, and it had not been let go for many years.
"Old man." The old detective knew that this matter was initiated from himself, and he felt that he had his own responsibility here. Not only as a police officer, but also as an old buddy for many years.
Bang.
Another loud bang. The old detective looked intently, and sure enough, it came from near the port, and he saw a puff of smoke from a distance. Could it be that he was stranded and killed? The old detective realized the seriousness of the problem, so he quickened his pace, and he gasped for breath and saw the harbor from afar.
The harbour in Ha Long is very different from other cities. But fundamentally, this place is the same
It is difficult to call it a city, originally it was just a fishing village, and the water in the harbor bay is very shallow, so large ships can basically not dock, which is the main reason why Ha Long Town has not made great progress so far.
The so-called harbor is nothing more than a wooden trestle bridge, which is made of deep piles driven from the beach and connected to wooden planks more than ten meters long, and the harbor is often full of fishing boats.
It's the same today, the old detective squinted, his eyesight was not bad, and he could see the wooden boat by the harbor from a distance, the small wooden boat was only about two people and half a person long, but it was still quite spectacular to cover the coast like this.
But the usual mediocre and busy scene by the ship is no longer visible today, and near dusk, it should be the busiest day to return to the harbor. The old criminal policeman vaguely remembered that he had seen the situation here more than once, and at this time, the coast was very lively.
The fishermen who shouted into the harbor drove the boats, and the men in the harbor dragged the boats into the harbor one by one with a thick rope with brute force, and the women flocked to the harbor, excitedly hugging their husbands and kissing them, or complaining in despair, or even opening their mouths angrily. Of course, this is indispensable, and there is also anxious waiting, lonely looks, maybe one day, maybe today, my family lost their lives in the sea.
This is the mediocre life of every fisherman's family, the noise of the harbor, the joy and sorrow in the sea breeze brewed slightly drunk, at this time with tea and light wine, eat a horse from the neighboring village out of the cage of black pork, originally this kind of life.
The old detective stared at the depression in front of him in a daze, and fell into deep thought. What pulls him out of this psychedelic scene is the magical reality in front of him. For a moment, he almost forgot to hide his figure, just because a huge cruise ship was "docked" on the shore in front of him.
It was not so much a docking as the ship "crashed" into a reef near the harbor, and it seemed that it had not intended to dock in the normal way.
It looks like he's in a hurry. The old detective analyzed this in his heart, probably because he didn't see the sailors who answered at the port, and there were not even people, so the captain made such a decision. The old detective looked at it intently, but felt very strange.
Who would dock even if the ship was wrecked? What would be such a hurry?
The old detective has an ominous premonition, to be honest, his current situation is very bad, it may not be a good idea to follow these shark henchmen to the port to spy on intelligence, he can already think that although this information is classified, but what will be the target they are looking for?
Seeing the big ship that was almost sinking, the old detective broke out in a cold sweat, and he felt a signal of danger.
He was little by little close to the half-sunken ship.
Perhaps the mastermind is among them. The old detective pinched his sweat, and he decided to glance at it, just glance at it, and immediately go back to ask for help, which was the most foolproof conclusion he had reached.
Breathe deeply. The old detective tiptoed lightly, approaching the boat little by little, he removed the clothes and cloth that had absorbed the water from his body, hid them in a wooden boat, and quietly borrowed the water, and hid with his head back in a wooden boat.
The water rippled, and the salty smell of the sea crept down the wooden boat into the nose. The old detective held his breath, took advantage of the fluttering current, let go of the ropes that bound the ship, and approached the big ship with the waves.
Heavy gray smoke rose from the big ship. The old detective didn't dare to poke his head out, so he could only look out from the narrow space in the boat, and there was some scorching smell in the smoke. Although he is not from a firefighter's background, he will not admit his mistake.
The cruise ship's oil depot was set on fire, perhaps by bad luck and left when it hit the rocks
The fire, maybe to destroy the corpse, but no matter what, the old detective knew very well in his heart what would happen next if he left this ship alone.
Explode.
The old detective narrowed his eyes, and his whole body trembled nervously. If he continues to stay here, he will probably be affected himself. But the old detective did not do anything, for he heard a sound from the wooden boat.
"Let you rest! It's over this time! Rest again? I don't think you want your life anymore. ”
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and the old detective remembered for a moment that it was the voice of his subordinates who had followed him all the way.
"Hell, how could this happen." He was also familiar with the other voice, the long-mouthed man who talked a lot, and he sounded like he was remorseful himself.
"Don't talk so much, what now?"
"That's it, how do you explain this to the boss?"
The sound of gossip also rang out, nothing more than discussing whether or not to rescue immediately, and there was still no conclusion. The old detective couldn't help but laugh, such infighting was really ridiculous.
However, it didn't take long for the old detective to hear an exclamation.
I don't know who shouted first, but after a while, there was silence and solemnity in the air, and soon after, the old detective heard the sound of steel twisting from the side of the wreck, as if something had fallen apart.
Then, a familiar voice pierced through the sky and muffled.
"What about sharks?" It was a man's voice, calm and calm, with obvious anger in his voice, but it was forcibly suppressed by him.
"Yes, is it Mr. Worm?" The old detective heard the voices of the shark's men trembling.
"What are you?" The familiar sound roared, followed by a loud noise, and it seemed that the ship had disintegrated, but it was unknown what had happened, and it did not explode.
It sounded like footsteps, and with the roar of steel, the man's rough voice exerted force, and the sound of steel twisting and disintegrating came again. The man seemed to step on these steel bars all the way closer, and the old detective only felt that the sound sounded on the top of his head, and his heart beat wildly.
The old detective held Browning in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
"I, we're sharks' subordinates, sir."
"Subordinate? Did the sharks send you here? ”
"Yes, sir."
"Oh, where were you guys when you landed just now?"
......Of course, these people can't answer, so they won't say a word, let's rest.
"I said the boats were stopped, and you didn't look like they were in a hurry."
"No...... Really no, I, we ......"
"Come here now, what's the use of you?"
"I ......"
"Since it's useless, I'll send you all the way." As soon as this voice came out, the old detective heard a startled scream, which was the sound of fear that came out of his bones in the face of death, and immediately after, the old detective heard a muffled pop.
"Hey, hey, don't just hold such a dangerous toy in your hand." The calm and rough voice was full of laughter, and the old detective heard the screams, and now he didn't doubt that this person had a murderous intent.
The old detective clenched Browning in his hand, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he was about to get up, when suddenly a voice came from a distance.
"Stop teasing them, don't we have something to do?"
It sounds like a young man, with a soft voice without a hint of impurities.
