After these days of "business" in Kamurocho, Fang Zheng has made a name for himself. Now he doesn't even need to deliberately cause trouble or take action to see the weak. For Fang Zheng, asking for money from the underworld is now more direct.
"Hello."
Fang Zheng reached out and patted the long-haired man on the shoulder. When the other person turned around, he directly extended his hand.
"Hand over the money and the car, and you can leave."
Yes, it’s that arrogant.
“Huh?”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the long-haired man suddenly widened his eyes and glared at him fiercely.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?"
"You're from the Dojima Group. If it weren't for the badge you're wearing, I wouldn't have robbed you. Come on, give me the money and the car keys."
"What did you say?!!"
Hearing this, the long-haired man couldn't help but clench his fists, but at this moment, a low voice came from behind.
"Is that you? The one causing trouble in Kamurocho these days."
Fang Zheng turned his head and saw a man with a crew cut, wearing a white suit and looking angry, staring at him from behind.
Oh, so it was a trap... no difference, all the better.
It’s not the first time anyway.
Of course, the ending would not change.
“Wow!!”
The long-haired man was knocked to the ground heavily, groaning in pain, while the man in a suit and a crew cut next to him was leaning against the wall, with a bruised face and nose, not saying a word.
"Then I'll take the money and the car. Thank you."
Fang Zheng waved the car keys and wallet in his hand, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Just when Fang Zheng was about to turn around and leave, he saw the man with a crew cut desperately standing up and staring at him.
"Why would you do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of offending the East City Society?"
"Huh? You're just some gangsters, who cares about you?"
Hearing the question from the crew cut man, Fang Zheng turned around and stared at him, curling his lips. Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the crew cut man was greatly shocked.
"Just... the underworld?"
"That's right. In the final analysis, aren't you just parasites? Others work hard to make money, but you just lie on them and suck their blood. You are not even wolves, but more like hyenas. The Dojima Group and the Tojo Clan are just hyenas' courage. After all, animals like you can't survive without a group, but that's all you are."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders when he said this. He had always looked down on the underworld. The ones like those in Italy who dared to bomb the prosecutor, or those in Mexico who were more powerful than the government were another matter, but the general underworld was ultimately just a group of hooligans.
Especially in Japan, because it is a formal group, they are more cautious than some gangs when doing things. They are simply the example of being easy to bully.
It’s not like Fang Zheng’s clones haven’t traveled through the modern world before, and those worlds are not without gangs, but he doesn’t care at all. Whether it’s the Conan world or the supernatural world, Fang Zheng can go directly to the upper level. To him, the underworld, no matter how famous it is, is ultimately just a thing of this level.
So for Fang Zheng, he basically didn't take the underworld seriously. That was why he dared to rob the underworld, because the underworld was afraid of making things worse, so no matter how Fang Zheng bullied them, they could only solve the problem by themselves, and once they couldn't solve it...then they had no choice but to surrender.
"You've been hanging around in places like this all day, and you've developed a false sense of security by watching others kowtow to you, right? Do you think being a gangster is awesome and glorious? Go out and see the world more often, and you'll find that basically no one takes you seriously."
For Fang Zheng, being a gangster is even worse than being a killer. After all, he has money and can even kill the President of the United States for you to see. Can a gangster do that?
The young man in front of him was just like the young man who was obsessed with Young and Dangerous when Fang Zheng was in school. He thought Young and Dangerous were very cool and awesome. A group of them went out on the streets and acted very cool. They would fight in groups with machetes at any time, saying that they were doing it for brotherhood and loyalty, but in fact, a policeman from the police station could wipe them out in minutes.
If the entire society is compared to a pyramid, then the social class of the underworld is basically just slightly above the bottom - to put it bluntly, it is the epitome of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
So the mafia is a bit like martial arts novels, where the major sects are written to be powerful, but when the imperial army overwhelms them, all of them are wiped out. Emei, Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, if you dare to evade taxes, kill people or set fires, you will be closed down. I don’t care if you are Nun Miejue or the abbot of Shaolin, or what your status in the martial arts world is, you will all be thrown into prison.
Just like those bald donkeys captured when Fang Zheng was the emperor. They were said to be quite famous in the martial arts world, but in the end they were forced to go to the northwest to plant trees.
Of course, Fang Zheng didn't plan to keep catching gangsters here. After all, this pattern was too low. After accumulating the original capital, he planned to change his career and become a killer like 47, and start a dark brotherhood. Fang Zheng's idea was basically the same as when he was with Meigan. As long as he fought enough times, he would definitely be able to find some clues - for example, when he was a bounty hunter, he found Eve, then he found nano-biochemical weapons, and then he found the line of aliens.
However, there are no bounty hunters in this world, so we have to make do with killers.
Besides, he was already wanted, and as the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less worry you have. Being wanted dozens of times is not a big problem.
"You too are so young. Don't do a career like gangsterism which has no future. Go do something else."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng patted the buzz cut man's face with his empty wallet, then turned and left. The buzz cut man and the long-haired man were left staring at each other in silence... not knowing what to say.
They were originally arrogant and thought that they could catch the thief by working together. However, they did not expect that they would be killed by the other party. Not only that, they were also badly beaten. The long-haired man even got his car into the car... This wave can be said to be a huge loss.
"hateful!"
Watching Fang Zheng's back disappear, the long-haired man punched the ground angrily.
"Next time I see him, I will not let him off!"
Although the long-haired man declared so, unfortunately, there will be no next time.
After disposing of the long-haired man's car, Fang Zheng left Kamurocho. The environment of this place was dirty and messy, suitable for hunting but not suitable for living. There was no way before, but now that Fang Zheng had money and a fake identity, these were naturally not a problem.
After finding a place to live, Fang Zheng's "Dark Brotherhood" was able to start business successfully.
Like 47, Fang Zheng will not kill anyone for money. He only kills those who have committed heinous crimes but cannot be punished by the law. Well, to be honest, there are quite a lot of such people in Japan.
And there are also many people who are willing to pay them to die.
For example...
"The underworld?"
Looking at the commission at hand, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, while the old man in front of him lowered his head.
"That's right. The target is Dojima Munehei, the leader of the Dojima Group, a direct affiliate of the Tojo Clan. As long as you can kill him, money is not a problem."
So it’s really not easy to be in the underworld.
If it was another target, Fang Zheng might have investigated the reason why the other party killed him, but since the target was a high-ranking gangster, Fang Zheng was too lazy to care. Whether the reason was revenge, power struggle, or conspiracy, in short, if a guy like this died, it would only benefit society and not harm.
"Is this okay? If you do this, you'll be making an enemy of the Dongcheng Society, right?"
"It doesn't matter. They are just gangsters. I want to see what they are capable of."
Indeed, if a high-ranking official directly under the East City Clan was killed, it would inevitably cause an uproar, and both the police and the East City Clan would make great efforts to arrest the murderer.
But the premise is that he was indeed murdered.
If it was an accidental death, then...it's not my problem.
This is exactly the case.
Two days later, Dojima Sohei, the leader of the Dojima Group of the Tojo Clan, was found dead at home. The cause of death was an accidental fall and head impact.
But the Dongcheng Society obviously doesn't think so. In the past few days, they have dispatched people to investigate everywhere in an attempt to catch the murderer.
However, their actions naturally attracted the attention of the police.
"During this period, the Dongcheng Society seems to have been causing trouble all the time."
Looking out the window, an old detective with gray hair snorted coldly, and hearing his sigh, a man next to him who was wearing a suit and had the demeanor of a police elite whispered.
"I heard that the Tojo Clan believes that Dojima's death was not an accident, but that he was murdered."
"Oh? Really? Where's the appraisal report?"
"The investigation team conducted a very detailed inspection of the scene and ultimately concluded that it was an accidental death. According to the team's final conclusion, Dojima Munehisa left the bathroom after taking a shower and went to the balcony to smoke. He then accidentally slipped and lost his balance, then fell from the balcony and died from a severe blow to the head. There was no external factor, and we did not find any signs of a second person being present at the time."
"So, is the Dongcheng Association trying to take advantage of this issue?"
After hearing the report from his subordinate, the old detective's expression became even more gloomy, while the latter became a little hesitant.
"Well...I have received some strange news..."
"Strange news?"
"Yes, I heard that before Dojima Munehisa died, someone seemed to have offered 10 million to buy his life. I think the Tojo Clan took action based on this information."
"I see."
The old detective nodded and put a cigarette in his mouth.
"Someone paid for Dojima Munehei's life, and then Dojima died. The Tojo Clan would naturally think it was murder rather than an accidental death..."
Having said that, the old detective suddenly turned around and took his coat.
"Let's go."
"Hey? Where are you going, Section Chief?"
"We will also investigate. No matter what, we cannot let these guys do whatever they want here!"
