Kowloon Walled City is like a solid fortress. In the golden age of Hong Kong Island, the lowest class of citizens lived here. They were like ants living in a complex ant nest, running back and forth all day for a meal, unaware that there was ground when they looked down and sky when they looked up.
The most gorgeous lights and neon lights of Hong Kong could not illuminate this walled city that was like a wall buried deep in the soil. The rapidly developing economy was invisible here, and even the civilization of the city was tilted and collapsed here.
Zhong Dazhi chose the location in the center of the undemolished area of Kowloon Walled City, so that the layers of illegal buildings stacked around it would be like interlaced walls to block what he was going to do today.
His target person would be trapped in this cage.
There is such a square courtyard in the walled city. Although the sky above is only as big as a mahjong table, it is rare.
Zhong Dazhi sat at the intersection of the small road like a patio. In the past, the neighbors around would play cards in this unique place. There are alleys leading to nowhere, and the alleys that only allow one person to pass are all small buildings with four, five, and even six stories. The small buildings are all stacked together. As generations of people lived here, they built roofs and bridges on the corridors, gaps between buildings, and rooftops, making them all environments that can be walked through or lived in, making it completely unrecognizable from the original construction.
The children who live here sometimes even wonder if there were only two houses here at first, and then people built corridors between the doors and stacked up layers on top of the houses, like a beehive, starting from one point and slowly building a nest.
Thus, there was a special building complex like Kowloon Walled City.
Here, what you thought was a dead end may suddenly appear as a staircase leading upwards, what you thought was a first floor may turn out to be a three-story rooftop when you open the door, what you thought was a corridor is actually Lin Jue's living room, and what you thought was a patio is actually just a fork in the road where many alleys intersect.
This was the place where Zhong Dazhi had been planning for a long time. He was the only one sitting at the square table, with the black dragon and the bull standing behind him. A dozen strong young men stood scattered on the left and right, each with a look of ignorant ferocity.
In the monster-like buildings further back, there were several men leaning on the windowsill and looking down at each window. Some of them were old, some were young, but they all had unfriendly eyes. They
were all Zhong Dazhi's men.
It seemed that everyone had lived here for a long time, but there were still steaming leftovers on the tables in some rooms, and some people hurriedly dropped a sock when they were driven away, which showed that they were just robbers who had taken over the nest.
When the Qianyuan Gang arrived, they also asked people to sneak in to observe the terrain and examine the arrangements of the Qianhe Yihui.
Liang Yuexia put his pistol on his belt and calculated the number of people led by Zhong Dazhi. He immediately led people to rush into the walled city from another direction.
After these dozens of people sneaked into the area, they disappeared in the spider-web-like alleys.
Like wild wolves passing through, they drove away the residents who originally lived on the other side of the courtyard area, and rushed into the fortress like the Qianhe Yihui. After a chaotic scene, they confronted the people behind the opposite window.
Liang Yuexia walked through the straight neck, swaggered to the table, looked up, and then greeted Zhong Dazhi politely.
He is nearly 20 years younger than Zhong Dazhi, so he is considered the younger generation, so it is natural for him to be polite.
In front of Zhong Dazhi, there is a small purple clay teapot and two simple new cups. The tea smoke is curling up to the sky above the patio.
There is a worn-out thermos on the ground, and Zhong Dazhi is tiptoeing it.
Looking up at Liang Yuexia, he extended his hand to signal for him to sit down.
"Mr. Zhong, where is my brother?" Liang Yuexia sat down and asked directly without saying a word.
He protected Bald D, but he didn't expect Zhong Dazhi to catch his own brother and ask him to come here to meet.
Once a person has been involved in a gang, it is not easy to get out of it unless he has muscles all the time. The capital you once robbed will always be robbed by others after losing the protection of force.
Although Liang Yuexia has been cleaned up now, he is still in the game.
Zhong Dazhi said nothing, with a faint smile on his lips, and poured tea calmly and slowly.
Liang Yuexia was a little annoyed, and suddenly heard a noise behind Zhong Dazhi. Looking up at the creaking sound of wooden boards being stepped on and the sound of windows opening, he saw four strong men pushing a chair to the window, and sitting on the chair was his blindfolded brother.
"Mr. Zhong, this is probably not the way to entertain guests?" Liang Yuexia, who had just sat down, stood up again suddenly, and the butt of the gun on his waist hit the small square table. The tea that had just been filled overflowed from the teacup in the shaking, and several circles of miniature lakes formed by the tea splashed out.
At the moment when Liang Yuexia suddenly stood up, the bull and black dragon standing behind Zhong Dazhi immediately pulled out the guns stuck in their waists. The bodyguard Hong Gun behind Liang Yuexia was not to be outdone. One of the tall and thin men was holding a long-handled high-powered gun.
The atmosphere became tense in the blink of an eye, and the strings of a guitar were about to break.
...
...
Jiayi parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at the Kowloon Walled City, which was just planned to be demolished in Hong Kong.
The shabby and densely packed windows were enough to make people with claustrophobia feel uncomfortable. Although there were some signs of demolition on the outside, the people living inside had not yet been resettled. It would obviously take a long time to clean up this area.
She took a look at the dark, dirty, and bottomless alleys leading into the Walled City, swallowed hard, and said to her eldest brother:
"Brother Yue, I'm here. There are several uniformed police gathered at the corner of the street. The Organized Crime and the PTU haven't arrived yet."
"Wait a little longer, and consider countermeasures after someone responds." Although Fang Zhenyue's voice was very steady, the humming of cars and the rapid honking of horns accompanying his voice showed that he was not calm at all.
"Okay." Jiayi responded and sat in the car to observe carefully.
Soon, she found that many people were pouring out of Kowloon Walled City. Some were holding children, their faces full of annoyance and fear; some were wearing only one slipper, and their bare feet were limping from the sun that had been on the road for most of the day...
When they saw the police at the corner of the street, they immediately gathered around to call the police, and soon they started arguing.
Seeing this, Jiayi and Liu Jiaming jumped out of the car, and the two walked quickly towards the crowd.
Liu Jiaming took out his ID and maintained order, and the uniformed police also walked up to Jiayi and Liu Jiaming as if they had seen a savior.
"Madam Yi!"
"Yi Shazhan."
The uniformed police saluted and greeted, and then all stood behind Yi Jiayi, waiting for Madam Yi to make arrangements.
Jiayi raised her hand and asked everyone to walk to an area that would not affect pedestrians and vehicles, and asked everyone not to make a noise. She then divided the people into several teams and had several uniformed police officers take statements from each team one by one.
Jiayi stood aside and listened for a while, and then she had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Kowloon Walled City.
Zhong Dazhi and Liang Yuexia had already started to talk, and the two gangs were tit-for-tat, and a conflict could break out at any time.
Moreover, listening to these people's narration, each gang seemed to have brought dozens or even hundreds of thugs. Some people even swore that they saw someone carrying a submachine gun.
"They suddenly barged in, saying they would borrow our house for a while? They chased us all out. We still have valuables in our house. What if they get lost?"
"I was only halfway through my meal..."
"They barged in with knives in their hands, saying they were going to kill me if I didn't leave, sir..."
"...They pointed such a big gun at our family of five..."
"..." Jiayi became more and more anxious as she listened. She looked at the Kowloon Walled City and her feet rubbed and rolled on the ground unconsciously.
"Ahhh!" Suddenly a woman screamed, "My daughter is still sleeping at home! She is still sleeping..." The
woman, who was frightened by the discovery and turned pale, was about to rush back.
Jiayi gritted her teeth. Although there were no casualties yet, a considerable amount of civilian losses had already occurred.
No one could tell when Zhong Dazhi would start.
Swords have no eyes, guns have no mercy...
Jiayi glanced at the time, and her eyes almost burst into fire.
Just when Liu Jiaming reached out to grab the woman, Jiayi finally couldn't bear it anymore. She held the mobile phone and said to Fang Zhenyue who was rushing over:
"Brother Yue, I can't wait any longer."
There was silence on the other side of the mobile phone for a long time. Just when Jiayi thought the call had been hung up, Fang Zhenyue's voice came in a deep voice:
"Take your gun with you. Don't look nervous and righteous when you go in. Smile and be a little bit rogue.
"If you tell them that the real murderer has been caught and Zhong Dazhi is still obsessed, try to delay time. If you can't delay, just do whatever it takes.
"Don't be afraid, they won't attack the police easily.
"If the situation is really out of control, don't force it, just hide. Since most of the residents in that area have been dispersed, they can fight on their own and don't need to worry too much about life and death.
"Protect yourself, that's the most important thing.
" "Eleven..."
Although he asked Jiayi not to be afraid, his voice was more tense and harsh than anyone else's.
After calling her name, he was silent for a moment, then quickly said:
"I'll be there soon, don't hang up the phone."
"Okay, Brother Yue." Jiayi responded and put the mobile phone in the pocket of her shirt closest to her heart. Then she walked towards the woman who was held by Liu Jiaming, "Tell me the address."
"Sir, it's hard to get in there. Even if Axia told you, you're not familiar with it and you can't remember it. "A neighbor of the woman walked out.
He saw that the woman, Axia, was so frightened that her legs became weak, and the policemen looked embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he asked:
"Are you the detective Officer Yi mentioned in the newspaper?"
"Yes." Jiayi nodded. Although she was embarrassed, she still looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "Can you help lead the way?"
The man was a tailor. When he was rushed out, he was hastily holding a piece of cloth in his hand with a thimble on his finger.
He scratched his head, and a few thin threads fell off. He looked at the people around him, and then looked at Yi Jiayi who was about to go alone. Finally, he nodded and said:
"Then I'll take Madam in."
"It may be very dangerous. "Jiayi frowned.
"I'm quite familiar with that place. If something happens, I know where to hide." The man scratched his head embarrassedly, and two bits of fluff flew out from his short hair.
"Okay." Jiayi turned around and instructed Liu Jiaming again: "You maintain order here and prepare to meet O and PTU--"
"Eleventh Sister, I will go in with you." Liu Jiaming took a step forward. Although his face was not very good and his eyes were a little unstable, he still spoke firmly.
"..." Jiayi looked back at Brother Jiaming, and after a few seconds, nodded, "Okay. "
The two of them then walked towards the Kowloon Walled City under the lead of the tailor.
As soon as they stepped into the alley, they felt the light dimmed instantly, and a strange smell of heat and unpleasantness filled the air.
The sunlight was left behind, and the further they went, the more and higher the buildings above their heads were.
As Jiayi turned into another crooked alley, the tailor turned back and asked the police officers to be careful.
After thanking them, Jiayi asked the tailor what his name was.
When the tailor was asked about his name, he showed a bit of embarrassment and scratched his head again. He said embarrassedly:
"My name is Liu Fa Cang, everyone calls me Tailor Cang, and madam can just call me A Cang."
