Qiao Wen recalled the image of the gang leaving yesterday at Long Sister-in-law's Beef and Vegetables. Nine times out of ten, the death of Chiu Shan Chai came from these people.
This kind of brutal and unknowing killing technique, he had only seen once in his two lifetimes combined, and that was earlier in Vietnam. The time Ajiao's group attacked Ansar's command center at night.
Because the newspaper industry is very developed, there is also little audit control, so the market is basically what you want to read on the newspaper, you will be able to find. In these few months, Qiao Wen read all over Hong Kong large newspapers and tabloids, in addition to seeing a lot of local triad gossip, but also from the press to understand some of the current Southeast Asian gangsters and drug lords escapades. Although many of them had the ingredients of compilation and pomposity, but roughly they would not deviate too far.
After the defeat of the National Army, the remnants of the army in Southeast Asia, in the following two decades, either to build up their own armed forces, or to join the local drug cartels, in short, for political purposes in the early stage, and in order to survive in the later stage, can not escape from the drug trafficking this line of work.
Poison King Luo Kun now under the command of several generals, is the state king remnants of the army special forces origin. Just the specific name and background, the tabloid wrote a variety, do not know the truth.
Since Zhou Renjun said that the Poison King's people were entering Hong Kong, the identity of these people was basically certain.
It makes sense that these dangerous elements, in order to avoid the police, chose the unregulated Kowloon Walled City to settle down after entering Hong Kong.
It's just that it's not too reckless to kill people as soon as they arrive.
For the first time, Jovian was incredibly nostalgic for the peaceful times he had lived in.
The Walled City was known as Sin City, but part of that was also due to the demonization of the outside world. Murder and arson were nothing new, but such a vicious massacre for no reason hadn't happened for many years at least.
When the news spread this morning, it had the people on edge for a while.
As soon as Chen Canaan heard about this, he immediately ran back from outside and pulled Qiao Wen, who was in the granny's stall, back to his home, earnestly and seriously urging him to be careful when he goes out in the future.
Jovian did feel so touched by this eager concern for him however he felt much safer than him in this matter.
Just in case he accidentally offended those people to provoke a killing after, after listening to his instructions, he also immediately told him his guess in full.
Chen Canaan was really shocked by what he heard, "You said that it was done by those strangers from Long Sister-in-law's Beef and Beef last night, and that those people were the Poison King's people?"
Qiao Wen nodded, ''It's just a guess, but I think it should be about eight or nine. Right now the main thing is also not sure what they are up to and how long they will stay at the fortress. Anyway, you must stay as far away from them as possible."
The heavenly and earthly fearless Pretty Boy Nan, hearing him say so, also had a palpitation of the heart backward breath: "I went to the East End this morning also ran into them buying cigarettes in the store, fortunately did not start a conflict with them." After a pause, there added, "I have to tell Zhou Renjun."
Qiaowen said, "Don't call from the cottage, turn around and I'll go out with you to find a pay phone."
"OK."
Qiao Wen thought for a moment and then said, "If Zhou Renjun wants you to help keep an eye on people, find an excuse to push it off and don't get involved this time. These people won't talk about the rules of our city fortress, and getting into trouble won't be your or my business, but the business of the whole family."
Chen Canaan is of course aware of the importance of the family is his soft underbelly, encountered these vicious people, how dare he show what heroes in the city fortress.
He nodded his head vigorously and said, "I'll just tell him about the people at the fortress; if they want to keep an eye on them, they can find someone in disguise to come in and keep an eye on them themselves; I'm not going to wade into this mess."
Qiao Wen laughed lightly, "Brother Nan, I found that the word forbearance on your hand is still useful, other people think that you are impulsive, but in fact, you are not impulsive at all when it comes to big things."
When Chen Canaan was praised, he proudly put his face up and said without modesty, "That's for sure."
Jovian: "......" just kind of owes it all.
After chatting at home for a while, the two people went out of the city fortress piece by piece, and a phone call was dialed to Zhou Renjun, and the other party listened to it and really asked Chen Canaan to help keep an eye on it, Chen Canaan was prepared, and immediately moved the excuse that he had thought of long ago, and successfully rebuffed him.
After notifying Zhou Renjun, Qiao Wen made another call to Reporter Zhang, and the two sides arranged to meet at a caf17nearby.
The other party came to the appointment with a thick pile of information, one hand to pay the other hand, not even drink coffee, then tucked into the camera and hurriedly left, is said to be recently cheating with a big star and a rich businessman, has been a few days in a row without rest.
This is only the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the doggy really from this era, has been up earlier than the chicken to sleep later than enough to do more than a cow a creature.
Rarely coming to drink coffee once, Qiao Wen didn't rush to leave, called the waiter, ordered a cup of coffee for himself and Chen Canaan respectively, and while drinking the coffee, he opened the information and slowly browsed.
Chen Canaan is a mountain pig can not eat fine chaff coarse people, seven or eight dollars a cup of freshly ground coffee, drink in his mouth, not as good as the roadside 50 cents of herbal tea.
But then he looked around and realized that most of the caf17was filled with scantily clad young men and women, all looking like they were on a date. So he looked sheepishly across the room at Jovian again.
The other party lowered his head, one hand flipping through the information, the other hand slowly stirring the coffee, and from time to time end up gently sip, is a very lazy and elegant doings, looks simply pleasing to the eye.
He couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Qiao is really a young master out of a big family - a fallen big family is also a big family, look at this action, this temperament, it's simply a natural nobility.
He felt at once that he couldn't give a damn, and sat up slightly straighter, assuming a pose he considered dashing and elegant, his original clunking and stirring with the spoon shifting to a standard slowness.
It was a pity that Jovian's mind was so preoccupied with the information in his hands that he didn't notice this peacock across the room struggling to open its screen.
Don't say, the tens of dollars of their own information fee is really not wasted, this information is interesting.
The owner of the land is called Guan Zhenbao, see how precious this child was when his parents gave birth to him. Guan Zhenbao this year, twenty-seven years old, counting really some head, grandfather is the Qing dynasty is the white flag, grandmother is Gege, in short, in seventy or eighty years ago is the king of the grandchildren level of aristocracy, and thus the family background is quite rich. His father was also very competitive, although the Qing Dynasty died, but he also made a career as a big buyer in Shanghai. When he came to Hong Kong in the late forties, he was said to have brought several big boxes of gold. After that, in Hong Kong City, doing business, buying land and buildings, doing very well.
Just a thin heir, only have Guan Zhenbao such a son, how to spoil since it is not necessary to say. With such a family background, a lifetime under the protection of parents, young master Guan as a non-productive playboy is not a big deal. However, things are unpredictable, twelve or thirteen years ago, Guan's parents passed away, leaving Guan Zhenbao, who is still in middle school, to live alone.
Fortunately, his parents left him a huge fortune, even if he did nothing, it was enough for him to eat, drink and be merry for the rest of his life. However, carrying a treasure will always attract wolves, a greenhouse grew up in a broad young master, in the mixed Hong Kong City, was quickly targeted, first the family business is lost in a blur, and then coaxed to vote for this and that, coupled with the common vices of young playboys, and soon the family fortune was tossed to the bottom by him.
Guan Zhenbao married a wife some years ago, but unfortunately, but more than a year, the wife rolled away a large amount of his money, followed by a U.S. soldier over the Hong Kong ran away.
This makes Guan Zhenbao's situation even worse. These years is completely rely on the sale of real estate to live, one after another sold two buildings a few pieces of land in the center of the lot, is still not enough to make ends meet, it is said that recently owed money, so to sell the twenty acres of land.
Of course, the world of the past few decades was full of stories of families falling apart, as was the case with Qiaowen's own family, and Guan Zhenbao was caught in the middle of it all, and it wasn't anything special.
What makes Qiao Wen feel interesting is that, according to the information given by Zhang Jiaming, although Guan Zhenbao is an unproductive dude, but it seems to have suffered a few losses, knowing that he is a talentless confused seed, and thus these years did not follow the people to invest in the stupidity. And outsiders say that he has all five drugs, but according to Zhang Jia Ming's investigation, he gambled money gambling is not big, love to drink but do not take drugs, the biggest hobby is to buy horses, as well as go to the Rose Queen nightclub to hold singer Bai Fangfang.
At a spending level like his, the money from selling buildings and land one after another over the past few years is not so much money that he is in arrears by now and has to sell land again.
This couldn't help but remind Qiao Wen of that Butler Wang of the Guan family, and the Patek Philippe in the hands of Butler Wang's son. This Butler Wang, Zhang Jiaming's information also mentioned a little bit, saying that he was Guan Zhenbao's most trusted and close person, and that the family's affairs were all left to him to take care of.
Now it seems that I'm only afraid that the biggest vicious wolf beside Guan Zhenbao is this pro-butler.
Originally, people's business, there is no need to meddle in one's own business. However, if you can save more than 100,000 to 200,000 dollars to buy this piece of land, there is no harm in meddling.
Qiao Wen put the document down and stuffed it back into the kraft paper file bag, looked up at the person across from him, and smiled, "Brother Nan, I'll treat you to a cabaret show at the Rose Palace tonight."
Chen Canaan had just been elegant for a while, he really didn't love the bitter taste of coffee, at this moment, he was tearing open a packet of granulated sugar and sprinkling it in, clanging and stirring with a spoon, when he saw Qiaowen looking over, he hurriedly slowed down his movements, cleared his throat, and resumed elegance in a fake manner, "What did you say?"
Joe Man "......" doesn't have to be so pretentious.
He repeated, "I said I'd treat you to a cabaret at the Rose Palace tonight."
In the era before cassette tapes and tape recorders, the stage for singers was in nightclubs and dance halls. Rose Palace is the largest and most luxurious nightclub in Hong Kong City, can go to the inside of the drunkenness is not rich that is, Chen Canaan and Qiao Wen, such a slum poor boy, naturally, has never set foot in this kind of place to throw away money.
Guan Zhenbao's singer, Bai Fangfang, is not too highly regarded in the Rose Palace, and is far less popular than Ye Weilan, who is a pillar of the stage. But Guan Zhenbao likes Bai Fangfang, as long as there is a night she performs, will certainly go to the venue, rain or shine.
Today, Friday, it just so happens that White Fang will be on stage.
Chen Canaan was not interested in going to the cabaret, always felt that they were all places for playboys to spend their days looking at beautiful women. And since he was not interested in beautiful women at all, he naturally didn't want Qiao Wen to go to see beautiful women, so he skimmed his lips and said, "With this kind of money, it would be better to go to the theater to watch a movie."
Qiao Wen smiled and explained to him, "It's not specifically to watch a song and dance show, it's to find Young Master Guan, the owner of the land yesterday. If nothing goes wrong, we can save a ton of money to take the land."
"Yes?"
Qiaowen nodded, "Young Master Guan, the confused seed is being screwed over by his loyal butler."
Chen Canaan reacted, "You mean that old Wang Bo pitted his own young master yesterday?"
Jovian nodded, "No doubt about it."
Since Xiao Qiao was up to business, Chen Canaan naturally had to take this trip to the Rose Palace seriously.
The two men bought tickets in advance, returned to the cottage after dinner, and deliberately rinsed, rinsed clean and clean and fragrant, each changed into a clean shirt and suit and small leather shoes, combed out two dabbing bright little parting of the hair.
Not to mention Qiao Wen, or even Chen Canaan, as long as you don't open your mouth and spit out the fragrance, it's also a dashing and handsome noble gentleman's appearance, walking out definitely letting people not see that it's a poor boy from the slums - of course, now that he and Qiao Wen's assets add up to more than a million dollars, and they also bought a new house, so it can't be said that it's a poor boy anymore.
At 7:30 p.m., at the entrance to the Rose Palace, rows of minivans were parked, and men and women, dressed in their best clothes, stepped into the neon lights of twilight, and entered this paper-drunken ghetto with laughter and merriment.
Because Reporter Zhang's pile of information also very considerately included a clear front photo of Guan Zhenbao, thus Qiao Wen entered the hall, looked around, and quickly locked in on his target for the night.
Guan Zhenbao was sitting at a table with a man of similar age, I don't know if he was a friend or a servant. The seats were just ordinary seats, not the VIP seats in the front row, so it did seem like they were strapped for cash.
Qiao Wen pulled Chen Canaan to sit down in the seat next to him. The nightclub tickets were only a small amount, the most expensive consumption was the drinks, and of course the most expensive was the reward for the singers and dancers. It was not surprising that rich gentlemen would spend tens of thousands of dollars a night.
Come here, it is not good to buckle search, Qiao Wen is very generous to spend thousands of dollars to order a bottle of extremely expensive wine, waiter immediately he and Chen Canaan as a wide-open son, the service is very attentive.
Next to only ordered two cheap drinks Guan Zhenbao saw the bottles of wine on the table of the two people, did not hide to show a face of envy, visible this former broad young man is now really stretched to the limit.
Chen Canaan looked at the expensive foreign wine on the table, afraid that he was ashamed of Qiao Wen, and did not dare to ask more, just think of the price, the heartache of the liver and lungs are hidden pain.
Tonight, the pillar of the stage, Ye Weilan, was also there, and naturally, she was the main character of the entire show. She was a very beautiful woman, with a slender figure and a pair of long legs, very sexy and charming when dancing, and her singing voice was absolutely sweet and melodious.
He went for the hot and sexy style, and the accompanying dancers were also coolly dressed beauties, and the audience frequently broke into applause as the two songs came down. Even Qiao Wen felt that it was very pleasing to the eyes.
Among the many enthusiastic spectators, there were only two people who had been yawning frequently, one was Chen Canaan, who had no interest in beauty, and the other was Guan Zhenbao, Bai Fangfang's only fan on the table next to him.
After the regular performance, it was time for the guests to spend money to order songs. Liu Piao Piao was ordered several songs in one go by a couple of broads, and Guan Bao Zhen was clearly getting more and more upset.
Qiao Wen beckoned the waiter, placed a stack of bills on his tray, and whispered, "I'll order two songs by Ms. Bai Fangfang."
The waiter glanced at the plentiful bills and asked solicitously, "Any tracks you'd like to hear?"
Jovian said without much concern, "Whatever she takes."
His set of movements down the line was described as cloudy, but Guan Baozhen's eyes clearly lit up when he heard Bai Fangfang's name.
In fact, from the heart, Bai Fangfang's singing voice is much better than the pillar Ye Weilan, but it is a pity that the body is not hot enough, the looks are not bright enough, and even more will not dance, in the pursuit of visual enjoyment of the nightclub, just rely on the singing voice, that is certainly a big difference with the pillar.
Rarely being ordered to sing by a guest alone, Bai Fangfang sang very attentively, the two songs were sung by her in a lingering and melodious manner, and even Qiao Wen couldn't help but close his eyes and quietly appreciate them.
Guan Zhenbao, on the other hand, was full of excitement the entire time, a standard fanboy look.
The nightclub gets early in the morning, Qiao Wen's small body can not stay up this long night, when Bai Fangfang finished singing, then put a few tips on the table, signaling Chen Canan, who has begun to doze off, to leave.
Bored Chen Canaan suddenly came to his senses, and quietly took the unfinished foreign wine with him.
Well, it's always a good quality not to waste.
As expected, just as he walked out of the gate, Guan Zhenbao caught up with him and enthusiastically said, "Two gentlemen, please wait."
