Chapter 179: Cool
Kiev in the early morning is hidden in a fog. Some people say that the vitality of a city is hidden in its five o'clock sky. Obviously, Ukraine is getting old.
But there are also fishermen near the sea rowing boats out to sea, praying for a harvest today.
"Bellman, remember, you must throw out the net evenly." The old fisherman looked at his son solemnly and said.
The son, who is nearly 1.90cm tall, is equally serious. According to his father's words, he must maintain awe of the sea. He casts the net down carefully, spreads some bait, and then waits quietly. I don't know why recently. Maybe it's the marine life.
After learning about the economic crisis in Ukraine, many people fled from the Black Sea coast, causing the base of seafood here to suddenly decrease.
"Huh?" The old fisherman suddenly felt that the buoy on the fishing net was sinking slightly. From his experience, it was definitely a big object. He put out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it away, and frowned, "Bellman,
Drag the net.”
"Huh?" The latter looked at the other person in confusion, but still obeyed and pulled the net up. However, it became more and more laborious. In the end, the two of them finally managed to pull the net up, except for a few pieces of small miscellaneous fish.
Besides, there’s a sack?!
This sack still smells like blood!
The two father and son looked at each other. The old fisherman was very nervous and stretched out his wrinkled hands to untie the rope on the sack.
Then…
A hand rolled out.
"Oh! omg!!"
Kurt crossed his hands to support his chin, frowning tightly. He had not heard from Blaine for three days.
My intuition tells me that the other person is almost cold.
But I still have some expectations. If I really catch the evidence against Nicholas, then... I can send that damn guy to jail!
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, a very rude knock on the door suddenly sounded, which made Kurt very dissatisfied.
What are these idiots going to do? Angrily, they walked over and opened the door, and saw a female subordinate standing at the door with tears on her face, "Boss... boss, Brian and the others... are dead!"
"What!"
…
When Kurt saw Blaine again, he was already in the Kiev funeral home.
The five corpses were neatly placed. Their whole bodies were turning white and their skins were wrinkled.
"They were all shot to death. There were seven fatal injuries, including on the head, chest, and abdomen. The 9mm medium-caliber bullets were used. It is currently impossible to determine the firearm used." A Mediterranean forensic doctor said.
Mask said.
"how long it has been?"
"About 65 hours or so."
Kurt immediately caught up with the time. This must have something to do with Nicholas!
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly as he stared at Brian. Although there was a bit of hatred between the two parties, when the other party was lying here, he still felt a little bit sad. He wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Check! That Asian guy
Where have you gone?"
"The informant said that Nicholas had left Kiev this morning."
"gone?!"
Kurt stared and said, turning his head suddenly and looking at the detective who was speaking. The latter was startled by his expression. He took a step back in panic, his Adam's apple rolled, and he held the hospital bed with both hands and nodded.
,"Yes I am."
"Where have you gone?"
"It seems like I'm going back to Somalia."
Farke!
Kurt punched the hospital bed angrily, but only he knew what he was thinking.
Maybe, you are glad that the other person is finally gone?
…
At this time, Tang Dao came to Hargeisa!
This is the second largest city in Somalia and the capital of Hargeisa state. It is located in a closed valley in the Ogo Highlands in the northwest of the country, at an altitude of 1,200 meters. The climate is mild and pleasant. Historically, it was a distribution center and trade center for livestock products of the surrounding Ishaq and Issa peoples.
, is the "pearl" of the Somali Peninsula.
It served as the "Summer Capital of British Somalia" before 1941, and was later changed to the British colonial capital.
And he came here to meet a powerful warlord of the Confederacy.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Abdikasim." At Hargeisa Airport, Tang Dao met the big boss who came to pick him up. He was wearing a dome hat with national characteristics, his eyes were squinted, and his skin was not counted.
Black, but a healthy color of wheat, makes people look like a kind next door neighbor at first glance.
But this guy is not simple.
Abdikasim Salad Hassan!
Nickname, "Loach!"
He was once the son of a farmer in Hargeisa State, but in 1975, he joined the then British colonial army and participated in many wars against the opposition. Later, due to the current situation, he simply transferred his
The master was sold and transformed into the leader of the Southern Free Army, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the expulsion of the British gentlemen.
But later I saw that the Americans were powerful, so I moved closer to the Americans. Relatively speaking, they were a North American force.
The most cruel and inhumane thing was that when he started his career, he went home to visit relatives and found that his parents had been dead for a long time. This made him angry and burned down the entire village! Moreover, including Somali pirates who were rampant and active in the Gulf of Aden
He also leads the navy, so this guy is very rich!
The investment in piracy is very small, requiring only small boats and other firearms, communications and other equipment, which is disproportionate to the huge profits brought by hijacking. The owners of the hijacked ships would rather pay a high ransom to protect the lives of the crew.
.
Pirates earn an average of US$1 million to US$2 million for each ship they hijack. After hijacking the Stella Maris, they demanded a ransom of US$3 million. Global losses are US$25 billion every year.
The huge ransom makes piracy activities more rampant. With such a successful hijacking, one can become rich overnight, buy a luxury car, build a villa, marry a wife and take concubines, and stay away from poverty. This will induce more people to take risks and participate in piracy activities.
Through piracy activities, money-making activities such as smuggling, drug, weapons trading and smuggling can also be carried out to maximize the benefits of piracy activities.
It is conservatively estimated that Hassan’s assets are as high as 200 million US dollars!
It is rare for an average person to encounter a pirate in his or her lifetime. Therefore, when it comes to pirates, the images that come to mind are probably those created by movies or literary works: a man full of oil, smelling of alcohol, walking on a wooden prosthetic leg, full of foul language, and a bad temper.
A violent old sailor with gunpowder residue on his beard still smoking.
They are extremely ruthless, but they also attach great importance to business rules. If you give them money, they will let you go.
But people must peel off a layer of skin, so this has caused the price of marine insurance business to skyrocket, and ordinary small insurance companies may not be able to afford it.
"Mr. Nicholas, I am also very happy to meet you. In Somalia, every warlord is proud to see you." Hassan spoke English with a strong local flavor, like a hot dog in his mouth, but
I could barely hear clearly.
Tang Dao laughed out loud when he heard the other party's flattery. He held the other party's hands and waved his hands, "I'm just an ordinary businessman."
"Is there anyone in Somalia or even North Africa who doesn't know about the Somali Eagle? Mr. Nicholas can make the warlords full if he gives a little bit of his hands." Hassan's character is much smoother than Aidid's.
Although we all know that this is a fancy sedan, we just like it to be carried by others.
Who doesn't like to hear good things?
Do you think it would be nice to have someone next to you who keeps pouring cold water on you?
"Come on, let's get in the car first. I have a lot of things to tell you." Hassan patted Tang Dao's arm affectionately and invited him to get in the car. His car is a bulletproof Audi, custom-made.
, spent 6 million US dollars. It turns out that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Those who went bankrupt just didn't memorize Capital, or they were too promiscuous in micro-managing, and they killed themselves. Generally speaking, rich people rarely become poor, and only rare ones make the news.
A group of people, plus Tang Dao's bodyguards, picked up 15 cars in total and drove neatly towards Hassan's "official residence".
It included three personnel carriers, loaded with "fully armed" guards. The weapons were better than Aidid's, and a small amount of American equipment appeared, such as the Ingram light submachine gun, "the favorite of robbers."
It seems that Yingjiang's influence is quite influential here.
