Chapter 136: Too Many Doorways
Just as Tang Hongxi was pondering carefully, an unusually familiar hometown greeting came from behind him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey, hello, you're the tour team from Huaxia, right?"
Turning his head, Tang Hongxi looked for prestige, but saw a man with a "Mediterranean" head running towards him with a flick of his steps.
Needless to say, looking at the appearance of the other party's Huaxia, you can conclude that this person should be the guy introduced by the store owner.
"Alas, yes, we are, Mr. Wu." As the team leader, Shen Guoli naturally started to do contact work.
"Hehe, welcome to Rio, you should be the same Shen Guoguo who just talked to me, Mr. Shen, right?" Through the voice, the man deduced the consultation.
Hearing this, Shen Guoli smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Shen Guoguo." Oh, I forgot to introduce to you, this is Wu Fan, Boss Wu. ”
"Hey, the boss can't talk about it, it's just a small business. Everyone is from Huaxia, you can just call me Lao Wu, by the way, when did you get here? ”
"Just arrived early this morning." Shen Guoguo told him frankly.
Seeing that everyone was entangled in this inconsequential topic, Du Guolong interjected: "Boss Wu, take us up." ”
Wu Fan turned his head and landed on the poker face beside him.
Shen Guoguo hurriedly introduced his hands: "This is Xiao Du, Du Guolong." ”
Nodding, Wu Fan simply greeted "Hello", and asked rhetorically, "Are you sure you want to go up?" ”
Shen Guoguo listened to the meaning of the sentence and asked back: "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Wu Fan took a light breath: "In the hotel, the proprietress didn't tell you about the situation here?" ”
Undoubtedly, the owner of this shop must have communicated with Wu Fan in advance, so Shen Guoli did not hide it: "Having said that, she said that this civilian area has not been very peaceful recently, and some tourists have disappeared." ”
"yes. It's not too peaceful. Wu Fan frowned in response.
Hearing this, Shen Guoguo and the three of them looked at each other, and everyone was solemn.
"What the hell is going on? Is it really that serious? Bai Muya was also curious.
Wu Fan shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows." There's nothing unusual about missing people on it. It's just ......"
"But what?" Du Guolong's sense of smell as a criminal policeman seems to have captured the smell of danger.
"It's just that this time it's a bit special."
"Why?" Du Guolong chased after him.
"Because in general, gangs in civilian areas are less likely to target tourists. A civilian area has been renovated by the government, and the law and order situation has improved a lot compared to the past. Second, since the development of tourism in civilian areas, the income from tourism is also a source of money for the gangs under the jurisdiction of the inside. Therefore, except for petty theft and other things that cannot be stopped, such as robbery and abduction, there are still few things that happen. But in the past few weeks, more than a dozen tourists have gone missing. This has not happened for a long time. ”
"Didn't the police take any action for such a big matter?" Du Guolong continued to ask.
"Of course the action was taken, but you must know that this civilian area is responsible for the situation, and there are many factions inside. In the past two years, the government has made great efforts to clean up the situation, but it has not been able to fundamentally change the status quo of the civilian areas under the jurisdiction of gangs. So the police can't start investigating this matter. That's not as good as our country, there, it can be summed up in one sentence. ”
"What's that!?"
"Criminals' paradise, police no-go zones."
The voice fell, and the quartet was silent.
The chaos in the civilian areas of Rio is "famous" in the world, but it is so "lawless" that even the police can't get involved, which is really embarrassing.
At least in the eyes of Du Guolong, a professional criminal policeman, he felt that the Rio city government was too incompetent.
In Huaxia, in this case, I will pay you clean up in minutes.
"It's so chaotic, Lao Wu, are you still ......" Realizing that her question was a little abrupt, Bai Muya stopped at the right time.
However, the meaning he wanted to express in his words was very clear, and Wu Fan didn't care and replied: "Things are not as bad as you think." This chaos is only relative, you must know that these gangs have existed since the birth of this civilian area, and they have become an integral part of the civilian area over the decades. They fight with the police, and that's because of different ideologies. In addition, people living in civilian areas are inevitably associated with gangs. Gangs need people from the civilian community to work for them to earn money and even recruit as members. People in civilian areas also need gangs to provide them with protection and related work. So for the people above, the civilian area may be the safest. At least there they will not be looked down upon and discriminated against. Of course, the most important thing is to make money and be able to live. ”
After listening to Wu Fan's words, the foursome had a new understanding of the civilian area.
Although there are problems in this civilian area, it is undeniable that it is the home of many people.
As the so-called existence is justified, since this civilian area has been able to exist in Rio for so many years, it is natural that there is a reason for its existence.
"Then Lao Wu, are you also a gang member?" Tang Hongxi is not as "subtle" as Bai Muya, he asked bluntly.
"Huh, me?" Raising his hand and pointing to his nose, Wu Fan smiled: "I'm not, I'm a businessman." However, I have lived on it for a long time, and I know those gang members. Let me tell you this, most of the gangs here are from civilian areas, and some of them may be your next-door neighbors. In addition, I opened a store again, so it was indispensable to deal with it. But dealing with is dealing with me, and I won't join. ”
"You're setting up shop in a place like this...... Not afraid of being robbed? Bai Muya once again threw out her curiosity.
Wu Fan smiled "haha": "I won't tell you, I had the same idea as you when I first came here, I was scared, and even bought a gun from the black market to prevent danger." But after a long time, there is no such concern at all. Didn't I just say that law and order here is managed by gangs in the area. We pay them taxes, which is what we call protection fees. They make sure we are safe. So in a way, the civilian area is very safe. Because these gang leaders know that only when their own territory is safe, there will be more people who come to invest and do business, and their area can develop. After a while, you will understand that many things here have nothing to do with the government, and they are all built with money invested by gang organizations. So now that the government wants to get involved, how can these gangs agree. ”
"Oh......" with a look of "I see" in front of her, Bai Muya didn't expect that there were so many doorways in this backward and chaotic civilian area of Rio.
