In the early morning, the sun has just risen over the horizon, and the chaotic Caracas has ushered in a new day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know if it's because the people of South America have long been accustomed to all kinds of big scenes, or because they are suffering from hunger and drug shortages.

Anyway, the fire in the slum last night didn't attract much attention, and the military police just surrounded the burned area and then began to set up tents for the poor who had lost their homes as temporary shelter.

It has to be said that this is already the limit of what the government can do at the moment, and as for post-disaster reconstruction, it is purely a pipe dream.

As a country that relies on imports of even toilet paper, Venezuela does not have an industrial base at all, so it is completely unable to produce its own building materials such as cement and steel bars, and coupled with the extremely severe security situation, politicians have no time to care about the lives of the poor.

Of course, despite the fact that most people in this country are living in dire straits, there are still a group of people who are doing quite well, and they are none other than the customs officers who are responsible for checking the entry and exit.

By accepting bribes and confiscating the cash and goods carried by foreign tourists, they have earned a lot of benefits, especially the Chinese who have a mild personality and like to spend money to eliminate disasters, and are the focus of extortion.

There is no doubt that Peloso is such a corrupt bureaucrat working in customs.

A few days ago, he received an anonymous envelope containing $15,000, a key, a note, and a large bag of "souvenirs" from the South American rainforest.

The other party's request was simple, to secretly hide the white powdery "souvenir" into a private plane, followed by the seizure of the plane in the name of the government, and to restrict the entry and exit of the aircraft owner.

Obviously, this is a typical planting, and it requires considerable risk.

However, after the investigation, it was found that the owner of the plane was Chinese, and Peloso did not hesitate to choose to do it, because in his eyes, the Chinese are a group of timid and fearful guys, and as long as they are fierce, they don't have to worry about being debunked at all.

After cleaning up his personal hygiene, he gently pushed open the door of his daughter's room as usual, intending to kiss the little one who was still asleep, and then go to work.

But just as he pushed the door open, he suddenly found a woman wearing a peaked cap with a face that couldn't see clearly, sitting at the head of the bed and caressing his daughter's cheek.

"What a cute little angel, isn't it?" said the woman as she cocked the corners of her mouth and muttered to herself.

Peloso was so nervous that he clenched his fists and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Stay away from my daughter!"

As a government employee, he knows very well how rampant violent crime is in the country, and there is a high chance that gangsters will shoot at him with submachine guns and even kill his entire family when he walks down the street.

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that I bring you two choices. As she spoke, the woman picked up the bag at her feet and took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills and a yellow-orange-orange bullet. "See? There's $100,000 in cash and a bullet, now tell me, do you choose the dollar as a symbol of friendship, or the bullet as a symbol of hostility?"

You don't have to ask to know that she is none other than Maya, one of Lu Li's right-hand men.

"What do you want me to do?" Peloso was not an idiot, and quickly realized that the other party had an intention to find him, and immediately became calm.

After all, for him, it is not worth caring about what will happen to the country in the future, and the only goal is to make a fortune before the current government is overthrown.

In fact, Venezuelan customs is as black as a crow from top to bottom, and those who secretly help smugglers evade customs duties are pediatrics, and the most terrible thing is that some bold guys actually use cargo ships to smuggle drugs, and hundreds of kilograms at a time, most of which go to North America, and even the US Drug Enforcement Administration is paying close attention.

"Whatever you do, end the farce of the plane drug possession case within three days, or the bullet will come out of the chamber and pierce you and your daughter's heads. Remember, if I find out that you are trying to tell a second person about the conversation between us, then what happened in the ghetto last night will be repeated in your home. ”

With that, Maya put the bullet next to her pillow and jumped out of the window.

You must know that this is the fifth floor, and normal people will definitely fall to death if they jump out.

Peloso quickly rushed to the window and looked down, and found that there was neither a tragic body nor a trace of the other party downstairs, as if a big living person had disappeared for no reason.

Looking at the bundles of banknotes and bullets, he seemed to realize something, grabbed his hair vigorously and muttered, "Hell! When did the Chinese also have contact with the gangsters......

didn't have time to think too much, he hurriedly took advantage of his daughter's wake-up to wake up, hid the money and bullets in the dark compartment on the floor, followed by pretending to be nothing, and quietly replaced the South American "souvenirs" stored in the evidence room with laundry detergent.

Due to the large-scale power outage, the whole process did not alarm anyone, let alone be filmed by surveillance.

But Peloso didn't know that his every move was under the watchful eye of others......

About an hour later, Maya returned to the villa and reported to Lu Li, who was having breakfast: "That guy is quite sensible, after receiving our money, he took the initiative to drop the only evidence, I believe that in about two days at most, the case will be withdrawn due to errors in evidence." ”

"Yes, although corruption is a major danger to a country, it is simply the best helper for an ambitious businessman like me. After all, even in the fully capitalized United States, if you want to use money to settle a drug-related case, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in legal fees, but now you can easily do it by bribing officials with $100,000, which is really economical and affordable. ”

With that, Lu Li raised his glass and took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Although 99 percent of Venezuela's population lives in extreme poverty and hunger, people like him, who have a lot of dollars in cash, never have to worry about their quality of life being compromised.

In fact, as long as you go around the market, you will find that there is a very strange phenomenon in this country, that is, cheap daily necessities are in short supply, but luxury goods are very easy to buy.

Those rich second and third generations who rely on oil to make a fortune can still live a glamorous and erosive life, they don't care about the motherland at all, let alone the lower classes, they only think about how to occupy more resources, this kind of phenomenon is not one or two in South American countries, but is widespread......

PS: I had a sudden acute gastroenteritis yesterday, and I had a high fever for a day and a night, and now my whole body is aching and my brain is dizzy, so I don't know when the second update will be written, please forgive me.
