Chapter 20: Falling into a Trap
Early the next morning, Wang Fan took Zhen'er on a long-distance bus to Gongmu County. For today's action, Wang Fan inquired about relevant information again on the Internet last night. According to information on the Internet, this Gongmu County is the second largest black gun base in China, and the manufacturing cost of a black gun is only a few hundred yuan, but it can reach thousands of yuan after changing hands, and the price of high-quality guns can increase more than 100 times.
Gongmu County is located at the junction of three provinces and cities, the geographical location is remote, there are many mountains in the territory and few places, the economy is very underdeveloped, the local people have historically lived by hunting, and have a history of making gunpowder guns. The accumulation of various reasons has caused Gongmu County to become a black gun base, and although the police have cracked down many times, they have not been able to completely destroy this black gun manufacturing and trading market.
According to online information, it is not difficult for gun makers to obtain gun parts, but it is difficult to find a suitable gun den. There are two basic requirements for making gun dens, the first is to be hidden and not easy to be discovered, and the second is to be able to disappear without being heard by people outside, so gun makers often dig a large enough cellar in the house to make guns, and even test guns in the cellar.
Gun makers generally don't go to buyers themselves, and they often contact buyers through intermediaries. When the middleman communicates with buyers and sellers, he uses black words, short guns are called "pig's feet are short", long guns are called "long", and 10,000 yuan is called "1" when bargaining. Generally, the middleman will take the buyer to the seller to see the gun first, and then find a remote place to test the gun to complete the transaction.
After the bus left the mountain city, it was a section of the highway, the morning sun shone on the earth, Wang Fan and Zhen'er quietly watched the mountains, rivers and fields flying outside the window, and the first time they took the car on the highway was refreshing.
Wang Fan's mobile phone rang, he opened the phone and saw that the time was half past nine in the morning, undoubtedly his mother rushed to Uncle Zhuzi early in the morning and called to ask for safety. Uncle also called Wang Fan at seven o'clock last night to inquire about the accommodation, Wang Fan just said that the conditions for staying in the hotel were very good, he did not say that it cost more than 800 yuan to stay for one night, otherwise the uncle would be so surprised that he couldn't sleep all night.
Wang Fan answered the phone, and his uncle and mother both asked the same question: "Where are you?" When will I be able to get home? ”
Wang Fan didn't say that he was going to Gongmu County, if he said it, his uncle and mother would definitely have to get to the bottom of it: "What are you doing in Gongmu County?" Even if Wang Fan made up a reason, maybe Uncle Zhuzi suddenly had a big brain and asked his cousin to check what local products Gongmu County had on the Internet, as long as he went online to Baidu, his cousin would soon find out that the local products of Gongmu County were not anything else but guns and ammunition.
"I'm going to do something in a county below the mountain city now, and I'll rush back to the mountain city in the evening, and I can go home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Wang Fan said lightly.
"You should be careful all the way, and when you return to the mountain city after running errands, remember to call your uncle to report that you are safe." Wang Fan's mother finally admonished.
Wang Fan didn't expect that the next time he and his mother spoke, he would have to wait for a year. Otherwise, he would have to talk to his mother a little more anyway.
After more than 100 kilometers of highway, the coach pulled into a station and stopped, where most of the passengers from the mountain town got off the train, and the new passengers who got on the bus looked like peasants dressed and dressed.
Leaving the station and setting off, the bus drove on an ordinary road, where there were not only cars but also tractors and tricycles, and the speed of the car slowed down significantly. Soon, the rolling hills came into view, and the buses traveled into the mountains, and the road ran between the valleys.
The second half of the journey of more than 100 kilometers took more than three times as long as the first half, and when the bus finally drove into Gongmu County Station, Wang Fan looked at the time on his mobile phone It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Judging from the buildings and pedestrian vehicles around the station, this Gongmu county is even more backward than Fengxian.
Leaving the cool, air-conditioned car, I immediately felt the summer heat. Wang Fan walked out of the station with Zhen'er on his back and wanted to find a suitable restaurant first, first, to have lunch, and second, to find a middleman for underground gun sales.
Just as Wang Fan looked around, a woman's voice sounded in his ears: "This student brother, it's the first time you come to Gongmu, right?" Do you want to stay in a hotel? ”
Wang Fan turned around and saw a young woman with a sun umbrella and dark glasses standing beside her, her clothes were scantily exposed, and she exuded an unpleasant smell of perfume all over her body, and at first glance she was not a serious woman in Wang Fan's impression.
Wang Fan shook his head expressionlessly and said succinctly: "Don't want a hotel!" ”
He was right, because he and Zhen'er had decided to use the Treasure to summon an extraterrestrial spaceship to leave the Earth World and go to Pakistan as soon as they bought the gun and bullets.
The woman didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, she whispered mysteriously, "Could it be that the student brother is also here to buy this?" The woman said as she pulled the trigger with one hand.
Wang Fan was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that the woman in front of him was also an underground worker? He originally thought that it should be men who were in the business of buying and selling guns. But at this time, he suddenly felt that his opinion was biased, as a middleman in the gun trade neither needs to make guns nor shoot, it is also appropriate for women to do it, and there are strong women in all walks of life today.
Wang Fan immediately looked at the woman in front of him and said in a low voice: "Well, I want to come here to buy a gun and go up the mountain to hunt." ”
The woman's response was very neat: "Okay, I can help you find any kind of gun, what do you want?" ”
"Pistols, to be of high quality, and a hundred rounds of ammunition." Wang Fan said that since female underground workers are willing to talk about business in easy-to-understand language, they cannot be ambiguous. It's a pity that a few words of industry vernacular learned from the Internet are useless.
The woman smiled all over her face and said in a kind tone, "It's all there, but the good goods are not cheap, at least this amount, ask for cash, do you bring it?" The woman said and held out five fingers.
Wang Fan already knew the general market from the information on the Internet, so he immediately understood the woman's sign language. As long as it's a good gun, he doesn't care if it's expensive, he has more than 7,000 cash on him, and 10,000 yuan in his bank card, money is not a problem. So he said, "Five thousand? Okay, I'm carrying cash. ”
The woman said happily: "Okay, it's a word, you go with me to see the goods." It's not far, it's about ten minutes walk. ”
Wang Fan followed the woman out of the commercial area near the station and into an alleyway lined with dilapidated houses.
The roadway twists and turns, uneven and uneven, stretches forward until it reaches the foot of a hill. On weekdays, Wang Fan would never follow a stranger to such a place, but today he is carrying out illegal activities, not to mention that the current environment is completely in line with the characteristics of the gun-making base described on the Internet.
Shortly after entering the laneway, the woman who led the way made a call on her mobile phone on the way, informing the seller that a customer had arrived, and preparing a few short goods for the customer to choose. All this made Wang Fan believe that the purpose of his trip would soon be realized, so he unswervingly followed the woman forward.
The woman stopped in front of a dilapidated two-story building at the foot of the mountain, and the woman knocked on the gate a few times, and soon a thick wooden door opened, and the woman beckoned Wang Fan to enter the gate.
Entering the door, Wang Fan saw a man in his thirties wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses standing behind the door, he immediately closed the door and said, "Squeak!" "Plug in an iron bolt behind the door.
What happened next was beyond Wang Fan's expectations, and he didn't see such a thrilling scene in the underground gun trade on the Internet:
A bare man walked out of the kitchen with a big kitchen knife in his hand, and he said to Wang Fan with a hideous face: "If you are obedient, you won't die, otherwise, I will chop you to make braised pork to eat!" ”
Wang Fan was shocked and cried out in his heart: I was fooled! Himself fell into the hands of a gang of robbers. He angrily said to the woman, "Didn't you bring me to buy a gun?" ”
The man with glasses changed the Sven Xiang just now, pulled Wang Fan's arm and said viciously: "Less nonsense!" Come upstairs with me, who knows if you're sent by the police! ”
Wang Fan protected the schoolbag hanging on his chest and Zhen'er hiding in the bag with one hand, and he was pulled up to the living room on the second floor by two men before and after.
The man with the knife said sharply: "Quickly hand over your mobile phone and wallet, be honest, lest Lao Tzu do it!" ”
With a messy beard, red eyes, and rough tattoos on both arms, this man is a classic underworld thug image.
It is useless to reason now, the most important thing is to save yourself and Zhen'er's life.
Wang Fan calmed down and said to the three dog men and women: "As long as you don't hurt me and my cat, all the money will be given to you." He said as he pulled his phone and wallet out of his pocket.
The man with glasses let go of his hand and took the mobile phone and wallet, his eyes became redder, and he laughed: "The phone is quite new, the wallet is bulging, we finally caught a fat fish." As he spoke, he left his phone still on the table, and then took out a wad of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet.
The tattooed man scolded: "Damn, the poor ghost I caught last time only had a few hundred pieces on him, and if he hadn't sold it to the black snake to get five ices, Lao Tzu wouldn't have survived." ”
"We have money now, let the black snake send the ice, the old lady hasn't had a good time for a few days!" When the woman saw a large amount of money, her tone became uncharacteristically rapid and excited. She took off her ink-colored glasses at this moment, and Wang Fan found that her two eyes were also like pink eye.
Meet a gang of gangsters who take drugs and rob them! Wang Fan was miserable in his heart. Although he was terrified in his heart, his mind was very clear, the most important thing now was to save his life and Zhen'er's, and money was not important.
The woman took out her mobile phone and called, "Hey, Black Snake, I'm a beautiful snake, hurry up and send twenty ice to the old lady, the old lady should buy so much cheaper this time, what?" Three hundred and five? It's too expensive! Three hundred and two at most! If you don't want your mother to find someone else, you're not the only one who has the goods. Okay, hurry up and send it over! ”
The eyed man then found the bank card in the wallet and asked Wang Fan sharply: "How much money is in the card?" What is the password? If you dare to deceive Lao Tzu, let the beard cut you to death. ”
"There's 10,000 in Kari." Wang Fan said calmly, and then reported the password.
The woman picked up a bead note on the table and put it in the palm of her hand, and then snatched the bank card from the man with glasses, "Look at this kid's bear-like appearance, I don't dare to deceive the old lady, I'll get the money!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Wang Fan sat on a wooden bench and surveyed his surroundings, a living room with a wooden table and several wooden benches, and a dilapidated wooden staircase leading to the roof.
Wang Fan was thinking about waiting for the gangsters to find an opportunity to escape when they took drugs, and he heard a radio program that drug addicts would have mental abnormalities after taking drugs.
Downstairs there was a motorcycle "Woohoo! Then there was a knock on the door, and the man with glasses said to the tattooed man, "Look at this kid, I'll open the door!"
After a while, the man with glasses went upstairs with a black-faced man, and the woman who had withdrawn the money followed.
The black-faced man glanced at Wang Fan and said, "This stupid boy seems to have the strength, so let's go to the ice factory to carry it first." ”
The woman smiled and said to the man with glasses: "The black snake said that the one who wanted to escape was killed last time, and their eldest brother is lacking a free worker in the factory, give us five more ice!" ”
The man with glasses and the man with tattoos were both smiling, obviously satisfied with the deal of exchanging Wang Fan for five ice, and the man with glasses asked the black-faced man, "When will you pick someone up?" The sooner the better! So as not to worry about Lao Tzu. ”
"Let the leopard drive over and pick it up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The black-faced man said.
When Wang Fan heard this, the fear in his heart was reduced by half, although it was not a good thing for these gangsters to send themselves to work in the drug factory, but at least it showed that he and Zhen'er were not in danger of life for the time being.
The black-faced drug dealer took out a small plastic bag from a dirty snakeskin bag he was carrying and said, "This bag is 20 in total, and according to the agreed price, it is 6,400 in total."
The man with glasses said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you should give five more?" ”
"Those five want the leopard to you, one hand to the other hand to the ice, one yard to one yard." Blackface drug dealer said.
The man with glasses took the plastic tape and opened it, took out a white lump like rock candy from it, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
The black-faced drug dealer said with a disdainful face: "Made, it's not worrying about this little bit of goods!" The purity of the ice made by our eldest brother is already the highest in the world. ”
The tattooed man scolded: "Damn, your black snake has made a lot of oil and water on our brothers and sisters, if you dare to deceive Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife and let all the oil and water you get released!" ”
