Chapter 1982

Although this place has a small business scale, there are not many people who come here to play on weekdays. In addition, in addition to the workers who live in small hotels nearby, the people who come here to gamble are also some people from all walks of life in the Sanya market.

.So in addition to gambling, it is also a place where all kinds of gossip gather, especially news related to local South Asian ethnic groups. Basically, you can find out here - of course, you have to spend some money to do so.

OK.

Zhang Qianzhi has some connection with Lanka, the operator here. A few years ago, the Ministry of Security encountered a rather difficult situation when handling cases and arresting people here. At that time, Lanka was a new immigrant who had just arrived in Sanya. By chance, he helped

I asked the Ministry of Security to do a favor and closed the case. In fact, Lanka was also one of the people involved in the case. If he were to be investigated, he would also be responsible. However, Zhang Qianzhi, who was in charge of the case at the time, felt that this person knew the pros and cons and knew how to deal with the situation.

At the critical moment, he turned to the government to survive, so he was crossed out from the suspect list with a stroke of a pen.

Letting go of a low-level gangster who has not even obtained Haihan nationality is just a simple task for Zhang Qianzhi, but for Lanka it is tantamount to a new life. And this guy has indeed grasped this thread.

Vigor quickly rose to power in this area where South Asian ethnic groups live together. In addition to controlling various industries here, he also opened an underground casino to make money. In just a few years, he has become a prominent figure in the area.

A slightly famous hero.

Of course, Lanka is also very aware that his status is only based on the premise of Haihan's official laissez-faire. He has seen the government's thunderous methods and knows that private organizations are simply unable to resist. If the government wants to deal with him, then maybe once

An armed arrest operation will make all the efforts of the past few years in vain. Therefore, his principle, or bottom line, is not to confront the government and try not to leave any reason for the government to deal with him.

In addition, Lanka will also "tribute" to the government in a timely manner. Even if some officials dare not accept his money, he will try to find ways to increase his presence. For example, this place used to be seriously lacking in supporting institutions such as medical education and so on.

, in the past two years, Lanka has funded the opening of a drug store, invited doctors from the town to diagnose patients, opened a private school, and hired two gentlemen to teach the children of local people how to read and write.

After making a lot of efforts, Lanka got the opportunity to naturalize in the second year after arriving in Sanya. Such treatment is considered very fast among South Asian ethnic groups who are not very popular with the authorities.

If Lanka was a Han immigrant, perhaps his donations to the countryside would have earned him the title of "good father-in-law" or "enlightened gentry". However, it is a pity that his life experience is limited and he has to live at sea.

If Han develops, he will inevitably suffer more because of this. Moreover, his background is not clean enough, and the time and money required to clear his name will definitely not be a small amount.

Although Lanka has been naturalized and became a real Haihan citizen, he still did not move to a city with better conditions. He still stayed in this seaside town and was a local snake. Because he knew very well that his basic base was still in

Here, even if he buys a house and settles down in the city, with his background, it is currently difficult to integrate into the Han ethnic group. On the contrary, he may lose control of his own territory.

Many people who are smarter and more educated than Lanka find it difficult to know the basics and know how to advance and retreat. However, he did a good job in this aspect and did not become inflated because of his influence among South Asian ethnic groups.

Very conservatively, he chose to continue operating his current territory.

However, these things do not mean that Lanka is a kind-hearted and good person. When it is time to use violence, this guy is not a good person. In the past few years, it is not that no one wants to challenge his status and covet his industry, but they try to

The people who replaced him eventually disappeared quietly. However, Lanka would still patrol his own territory every day as before, and then sit down at the warehouse casino to ensure that his business could run smoothly.

There are many people who come here to gamble every day, but very few people claim to be here to see him, and they are still unfamiliar faces. When Lanka heard the news reported by his subordinates, his first reaction was that someone from the government was here, because only people from the government were here.

He would state his intention so unabashedly and in such a loud tone. This made Lanka a little uneasy. After all, he usually took the initiative to go to the local government offices to send incense and money to build relationships, and it was rare for official servants to come to him.

"It's probably some guy who is causing trouble outside!"

Based on Lanka's experience, he believes that there is only one reason why the government can send people here, and that is that there are South Asian ethnic groups causing big troubles outside, and the government can't catch them, so they come here directly to ask for them.

Okay. This kind of thing has happened before. For Lanka, it is indeed a dilemma between two sides. Whether you want to make friends with this person or not, you will always offend one of them.

Lanka is the maintainer of underground order here. People coming from the government must be looking for him by name. This situation cannot be avoided. Otherwise, the meaning of the government letting him be a local snake in this place will be less than half. So even though Lanka

I guessed that this was someone looking for trouble, but I still had no choice but to go out and meet him.

Zhang Qianzhi and his party only stood in the hall for a moment when they saw several people hurriedly walking towards them. The leader was of medium height, thin build, dark complexion, triangular-eyed mustache, and sparse hair tied into a bun.

Behind his head, he was dressed in black silk clothes, and on his feet were a pair of deerskin slippers produced by a local shoe factory. The men behind him were much stronger than him, but just looking at their posture, it was obvious that they were all like this

They are just human followers.

Zhang Qianzhi hadn't seen Lanka for a long time, but when he saw this person again, he recognized him at a glance - this guy had an indescribable ruthlessness, which made people very sad.

It's easy to notice his presence among the crowd.

"Long time no see!" Zhang Qianzhi took the initiative to nod towards the other party and said hello. He did not identify himself again. If Lanka didn't even have this kind of memory and eyesight, then he would probably only be in this kind of situation in his life.

He has become a gangster leader.

Of course, Lanka recognized Zhang Qianzhi at the first time, but since the other party had no intention of identifying himself, he would not rashly reveal Zhang Qianzhi's background in public, so he quickly and respectfully responded: "Mr. Zhang

We should have informed you earlier that this grand guest is coming, and should have gone to the pier to greet us!"

"Your Mandarin is much better now than before!" Zhang Qianzhi's pronunciation was quite clear when he heard Lanka's words. It was much better than when we first dealt with him. He also praised him at the moment, and then looked at it.

People around me said: "It's too noisy here. Find a quieter place to talk."

Lanka did not dare to neglect, and quickly led the way, taking Zhang Qianzhi to a private room next to the casino. Without waiting for Zhang Qianzhi's instructions, he took the initiative to retreat his men. The door of this room had been specially soundproofed, with two doors.

As soon as the door closed, the sound in the hall outside was at least 80% quieter.

"I usually handle my affairs here. The place is really simple. I hope Master Zhang won't dislike it."

As soon as the door was closed and there were no outsiders, Lanka immediately changed his name, quickly made a cup of hot tea for Zhang Qianzhi, and then stood aside calmly with his hands down, waiting for Zhang Qianzhi's instructions.

Zhang Qianzhi saw that the decoration in this house was not bad. The tables, chairs and furniture were all made of mahogany, which is relatively expensive on the market. The teacup used to make tea for him should have been produced in Daming, and the glass-lined hot water kettle next to it was also very good.

It is a luxury that ordinary people cannot afford. Although the place is not big, it can be seen that this Lankan is actually a person who is very good at pursuing material comfort.

Of course, this is understandable. Due to limited conditions, Lanka cannot move into the city and live a life of the upper class. But as long as the money is in place, he can create the same living conditions here. This place is just a place.

It was just a lounge, but Zhang Qianzhi conservatively estimated that the other party spent at least ten thousand yuan on this room. He was considered a person who was very willing to spend money, and he had quite the temperament of a nouveau riche.

"You have taken care of this place well. No wonder you have been unwilling to move to the city." Zhang Qianzhi joked: "If you call this place simple, then the place I live in can only be called a doghouse."

Ranka couldn't figure out Zhang Qianzhi's intention, so he could only reply with an embarrassed smile: "Master Zhang was joking, I occasionally have high-rollers here to play a few games, so I built such a lounge. In fact, I

The place where people live is also quite simple...it is really simple!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to find out about your living situation today. I have something that I need your help with." Zhang Qianzhi felt that the pleasantries were enough, so he put away his smile and started talking about business.

"Let me put it simply, there was a group of people causing trouble in Danzhou recently. When we arrested a few, we killed a few and arrested a few. We found that several of them should have come from the South China Sea, and these people had been here before

They should have stayed in Sanya for a while, so I came to see you to see if you can provide some useful help to our investigation so that we can find out the details of these people."

After hearing this, Lanka suddenly felt a little confused. Although the other party did not explain the specific case and said it lightly, it can be imagined that several people were directly killed during the arrest. It is not a trivial matter. And Zhang Qianzhi deliberately

Revealing such details is obviously to make yourself understand the importance of this matter. However, there are at least several thousand South Asians living in Sanya, and many of them are transients who only stay here for a short period. If there are not enough

information, it may not be easy to find his identity.

Lanka asked cautiously: "I wonder if these people you mentioned are still alive?"

Zhang Qianzhi shook his head and said: "If you are alive, it will be much easier. I will bring the people over directly and let you arrange to identify them... They are all dead."

Lanka didn't feel too surprised. He had naturally thought of what Zhang Qianzhi said, so he asked this question to confirm the situation. However, he also knew that Zhang Qianzhi must have other clues for him, whether it was a corpse or a corpse.

Well, no matter what kind of token you find, you need to have more information before you can arrange for identification.

Sure enough, Zhang Qianzhi continued: "What I can provide you is the general appearance and physical characteristics of these people... Can you read the written information now?"

Lanka responded awkwardly: "Although I am working hard to read, the Chinese characters are really difficult to understand... I can barely recognize most of the Three Character Classic!"

The teachers hired by Lanka to run private schools not only teach school-age children, but also provide literacy education to them in private. However, Lanka itself is not good at reading. The first level of literacy has become a stumbling block.

It's been a year or two, but he still hasn't even learned all the characters in the Three Character Classic. He said he could recognize most of them, which was already a bit of a boast.

But this obviously did not meet Zhang Qianzhi's requirements. Zhang Qianzhi could only shake his head and said: "I originally wanted to give you the information and let you read it yourself, but it seems that you can't read it, so I can only explain it to you...

...You should pay close attention to your literacy. You are already the boss. How can you go out and interact with people if you are illiterate?"

"Yes, yes, the adults have taught you the right thing, and the villains should keep it in mind!" Although Lanka didn't know many words, there was no big problem in speaking.

At that moment, Zhang Qianzhi patiently explained the physical characteristics of those people. Especially the tattoo patterns on their bodies. Zhang Qianzhi even took out the drawings to show to Lanka - this is what he currently has.

The most identifiable evidence is the same.

"This tattoo design..." Ranka looked at the drawing, frowned, only said half a sentence, and then stopped.

One of the original intentions of people getting tattoos on their bodies is to increase their recognition, and the tattoo patterns on these people have the same parts. Zhang Qianzhi believes that this is most likely a symbol that they come from the same area or the same organization, and should

It will have a relatively high degree of recognition, so I came to Lanka to find a solution.

But the problem is that the South China Sea is too vast. Lanka, who was born on the island of Java, has never been to at least 90% of the places, let alone only from tattoo patterns that may symbolize a certain tribe or some kind of totem worship.

, to identify the origin of its owner.

Lanka is actually not sure whether he has seen this somewhat abstract pattern in the past, because tattooing is actually a very common behavior among South Asians. Even he himself has two tattoos on his body before coming to Haihan.

Most of the subordinates around him also had tattoos. But he didn’t dare to directly reply to Zhang Qianzhi that he couldn’t recognize it, so he could only try to drag it out first.

"Sir, this pattern is a bit unfamiliar. It might be helpful for me to find more people to recognize it." Ranka asked himself that he could only do this much. As long as Zhang Qianzhi nodded, he would be fine.

A reward is offered. If anyone can recognize the origin of this pattern and provide useful clues, he will reward him.
