Chapter 446: Ransom

Soon, as soon as the delicious fish soup was ready, Fang Chunliang used the potatoes and eggs sent by the villagers to make a simple potato scrambled egg, and he brought a bowl of steaming fresh fish soup in a small bowl to Catherine, and helped Catherine to drink the fish soup.

"The soup is a little hot, you drink it slowly. Fang Chunliang looked at Catherine, who was very drunk, and hurriedly said.

It can be seen that Catherine should have not eaten much for a day or two, and a bowl of fish soup was quickly drunk, and at this time, Catherine's body was replenished with nutrients, and her spirit also recovered a little, Fang Chunliang couldn't help but be happy when he saw this, he smiled and said, "You wait, I'll go and cook you a bowl of ginger soup again, and you will rest after drinking it, and you will be fine tomorrow." ”

When Fang Chunliang entered the kitchen, he saw Mi Hu and the big fat man eating directly in the kitchen, the bowl of fish soup was directly eaten by the two of them, and there was no croissant left, which made Fang Chunliang can't help but scold, "Didn't you two eat the crew's three boxes of lunches just now, and Nima hasn't eaten enough yet?"

Mi Hu said a little aggrieved, "Boss, wronged, I just tasted a few mouthfuls of fish soup, and found it delicious, so I drank a few more mouthfuls of soup, these two fish and croissants are eaten by fat people, but you can't blame me." ”

The big fat man put down the dishes and chopsticks at this time, and looked at Fang Chunliang nervously, for fear that the other party would blame him, he had no reason to justify, these foods were indeed eaten by him for most of them.

"Forget it, just eat. Fang Chunliang shook his head, brushed the pot and began to make ginger soup.

After Catherine drank a big bowl of hot ginger soup, Fang Chunliang tucked the quilt for the other party, and then walked out of the door, at this time Mi Hu and the big fat man were standing in the courtyard to enjoy the cool, and when they saw Fang Chunliang coming out, the big fat man said embarrassedly, "Boss, why don't I go and ask the villagers to order bread again, you are stewing the remaining two fish, and make do with a meal."

。 ”

Fang Chunliang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry, by the way, you go and find a few other people with high prestige in the small fishing village, and when you get to the entrance of the village, I have something to ask him." ”

With his intuition, he felt that something should have happened in the small fishing village, and as for what was going on, he was not an immortal, and he could not predict the prophet.

The big fat man answered, and Mi Hu looked at the figure of the big fat man and sighed, "Boss, I'm afraid something has happened in this small fishing village, and many villagers have sadness on their faces, which I believe you can also see." ”

"Yes, but none of us know what it is. Fang Chunliang nodded. Both he and Mi Hu saw some clues from the expressions of the villagers, but only the big fat man didn't know anything and didn't see it.

The big fat man was fierce and vicious, and the size alone scared most people, he went to invite people, there was definitely no one who could not be invited, and soon the village chief of the small fishing village, an old man with a pipe in his mouth, and several middle-aged men in their fifties came to Fang Chunliang's side. I don't know what the big fat man said to these people, but several villagers who seemed to be honest were trembling, obviously frightened.

"Don't panic, everyone, I'm looking for a few people to come over, because there is something I want to ask. Fang Chunliang said with relief.

The old man with a pipe in his mouth, that is, the village chief of a small fishing village, he has experienced strong winds and rains, and his vision is not good, so he can naturally see that Fang Chunliang is by no means an ordinary person, especially his big fat follower, whose behemoth-like body shape has too great a visual impact on people.

The village coughed, cleared his throat and said, "I don't know what you want to ask?"

Fang Chunliang moved a chair for the old man, and then continued to comfort, "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not a bandit or robber, I've been recuperating here for more than forty days, and I also have feelings for this place." As for me, I just came back today, and I found that everyone's mood was not high, and there was a sad look in my eyes, so I wanted to ask, is there something going on in the village, and also, Catherine's grandfather didn't go out to sea to fish, why it's been almost a month, and they haven't come back yet?"

Hearing Fang Chunliang's question, the old man couldn't help but have red eyes, sighed, and said sadly, "Hey, you want to ask this, I thought it was something else, I won't tell you, something big happened in the village, hey." ”

I am afraid it is not a trivial matter to make a village chief sigh for a long time, Fang Chunhao said curiously, "What is a big thing, you say it, I am not talented, I think I still have some ability, I can help as much as possible, after all, I have been recuperating here for more than a month, and you have also given me a lot of help, I just should repay everyone, so that when I leave in a few days, I will feel at ease." ”

Fang Chunliang is the most reluctant to owe favors to others, so he can generally repay him on the spot, and personal debts are sometimes more expensive than money. Fang Chunliang would rather owe money than debt to people.

The old man saw that what Fang Chunliang said was not like a lie, it was very sincere, he nodded with satisfaction, "You are not bad, Catherine's girl saved a good person." After speaking, he took a few puffs of hookah, probably too choking, he coughed several times, and then looked up and said embarrassedly, "It's old, it's useless, this pipe can't be smoked." ”

"This kind of cigarette is more choking, at your age, it is better to smoke some cigarettes from a regular cigarette factory. Fang Chunliang replied with a smile.

"I'm not used to smoking those cigarettes, and a few coughs aren't a bad thing, well, since you want to know what's going on in the village, I'll tell you. When the old man said this, his voice lowered a little, "Catherine's grandfather, including more than twenty other fishermen who went out to sea to fish together, were all detained by the nearby gang of pirates called Fahuasi, and they came over last week, asking us to scrape together a million euros before releasing them, otherwise we will tear up the ticket."

。 In the end, his voice was full of helplessness and anger.

From Brother Dao, Fang Chunliang knew that there was a very powerful mercenary group on the Carillian Peninsula, called the Fahuaxi Mercenary Group, which occupied a large area of islands and spread throughout the entire Cagliari Peninsula. And ordinary people in the outside world prefer to call them pirates, because the people of the Fahuaxi mercenary group, what they do all day long, where it is like a mercenary group, is either blocking the road and robbing or raping and plundering, in short, they also do all kinds of chicken and dog thieves, they also do, which can be described as notorious.

"One million euros, twenty fishermen, so that a fisherman needs to pay 50,000 euros, which is not a high price. Fang Chunliang said subconsciously, but he sensed that something was wrong as soon as he said it.

"50,000 euros is not high, little brother, you must know that we are not a rich family, we fishermen, the gross income of a year is only a few hundred euros, this has to be a good year, there is no disaster, otherwise if you encounter a tsunami tornado or something, you stay at home for most of the year, then there is no income. 50,000 euros alone, our whole small fishing village can't make up the property even if it changes. A middle-aged man in his fifties couldn't help but speak.

Indeed, the small fishing village is too poor, 50,000 euros per person, for them, is a sky-high price, and they can't make up for it.

And if the ransom cannot be paid within the time limit, then the other party will definitely tear up the ticket, it is foreseeable that the twenty fishermen who were kidnapped are almost no different from the dead, and it is no wonder that the village is immersed in a sad atmosphere.

"Fifty thousand euros, the land here is thin and the grass is scarce, the farmer can't grow it, the animal husbandry can't develop, the fishermen have almost no income except for going out to sea to fish, this gang of pirates wants 50,000 euros, don't they know that you can't afford this money at all?" Fang Chunliang's intuition told him, I'm afraid it's not that simple, because there is a basic logical problem involved.

If it is a simple kidnapping, then the target of the kidnapping is usually a rich person, and everyone usually sees a certain rich man being kidnapped, or the children of a certain rich man being kidnapped, but have you ever seen a homeless person being kidnapped? Why do homeless people never worry about being kidnapped, because people have no money at all, and if they don't have money, they will die a rotten life, and now the fishermen here are obviously not much better than the homeless.

Kidnapping these poor fishermen, hoping to take out some money from each other, isn't it as difficult as ascending to the sky, the pirates who can occupy the sea as the king, will never be stupid enough to do this, even if they want to kidnap, they have to kidnap a little rich master. When they do this, I'm afraid there must be some other secret that cannot be hidden.

"Then what do you have to do now, 50,000 euros, you must not be able to afford it. Fang Chunliang asked. The Swiss card he gave to Catherine had more than a billion euros, and it would be solved casually, but I don't know why Catherine didn't take it out, maybe Catherine wouldn't have thought that there would be so much money in that sheet.

The village chief took a few puffs of dry smoke and coughed again, "What else can I do, I can only wait to collect the corpse, but most of those pirates will not return the corpse, and they usually like to throw the corpse into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

"Won't the government and police in Cagliari take care of it?" Fang Chunliang asked, this kind of kidnapping is not a trivial matter, after all, more than 20 fishermen were kidnapped by pirates, and the truth was exposed, not to mention Cagliari, even the Italian government may not be able to explain to the people.

It's just a pity that in this poor and remote place, let alone exposure, even Nima's most basic electricity is not connected, and it is not easy to count on the media to expose it.

"Hey, I've called the police a long time ago, but the police have been shirking everything, and this kind of thing hasn't happened once or twice, and recently dozens of fishermen from several small fishing villages have also been kidnapped, and they have also called the police, but the police have only made a record, and there is no action. The village chief said helplessly.
