Chapter 17: The People of District Nine
In the dormitory.
Qin Yu lowered his head to wipe the police gun, tilted his neck to look at Lao Hei and asked: "Brother, how did you come to District Nine?"
"Like most people." Lao Hei lowered his head and replied softly: "The disaster happened, and the countries established a joint government and formed eight districts for refuge. But with so many people in the world, how can all of them go into the eight districts? There are many people, few resources, and few places to live. So if you want to enter these eight districts, you have to wait for the joint government to randomly select permanent residency for the people all over the world... It can be said to be a random selection, but most of the tickets are taken by the social elite, and the remaining small part has also been hyped up to sky-high prices. , when it was almost over, a ticket cost tens of millions of dollars... and my hometown was in war-torn Africa, where it was hard to survive, so where could I get the money to buy a ticket. "
At this point, the Thai brother also whispered in agreement: "We all went through the same thing."
"My father had a glimmer of hope at the time. He heard that the quotas for Districts 7 and 8 were not full and permanent residency was still being randomly issued, so he tried every means to come to Asia, but what awaited us was the full population and no one could be accepted." Lao Hei smiled and asked Qin Yu: "Do you know the origin of District 9?"
"I've heard a little bit about it." Qin Yu nodded.
"Since Districts 7 and 8 are both within your borders and are the last two residential areas that have not been filled, many people who had a glimmer of hope to obtain the right of residence came here from all over the world, waiting for that slim chance... But after Districts 7 and 8 were filled, there were tens of millions of homeless people left here... They couldn't survive... So riots broke out without someone leading them, attempting to attack other residential areas. The United Government had no choice but to withdraw some resources and allow the establishment of the Ninth Special District, but they did not have the ability and sufficient resources to supply this side, so they finally let us govern ourselves. This is the history of District 9. It is a ray of hope for us at the bottom of society. Although it is very chaotic, it is like a home. Now even if you let me go to the other eight districts, I may not be able to adapt." Lao Hei is very optimistic. He always shows his white teeth when he speaks, giving people a very warm feeling.
Qin Yu was silent for a long time and then asked: "Who else is in your family?"
"No one, my mother and brother died in the first military struggle in District 9...!" Lao Hei's eyes were a little dim: "My father was one of the first police officers in District 9 and died in a duty mission."
Qin Yu was stunned: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I got out of it a long time ago." Lao Hei smiled again: "What about you? Do you have a family? How come you are in the planning area...!"
"I, I may be worse than you...!" Qin Yu hesitated for a long time before he confided in his colleagues.
"Ding Lingling!"
Just then, a phone rang.
"Hello?" Qin Yu answered the police phone.
"The core of the Ma family took old man Ma to the Third Ring Road. I observed for a long time and I am 80% sure that they met the contact person." Xiao Liu on the phone introduced the situation in a concise way.
"What is the exact number of people on the other side?"
"Whether the contact person is here is based on my experience." Xiao Liu frowned and replied: "I didn't see him in person, but there were at least 2-4 people on guard at the entrance of the alley."
"What about Old Man Ma?"
"He went in by himself, and the people he brought were waiting outside, a total of three people."
"Do you have any idea of their firepower?" Qin Yu asked again.
"I can't tell by looking, but judging from experience, I think these people are big shots and must have fierce firepower." Xiao Liu responded without hesitation.
"Okay, I know, you stay where you are, we'll be there soon."
"OK!"
After the two finished communicating, Qin Yu immediately clapped his hands and shouted to other colleagues: "Pack up your equipment, we're ready to work."
Lao Hei was the first to get up when he heard the voice.
"Haha, work first, and then talk after a drink." Qin Yu patted Lao Hei's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay." Lao Hei doesn't have the minor problems that most African compatriots have. He works hard and is not lazy or afraid of things. He can be an observer or a demolition man. He can shoot well. He is one of the few "strong generals" in the three groups.
"Gather downstairs."
Qin Yu threw down a sentence, turned around and walked out of the dormitory, and dialed Yuan Ke's number as soon as possible.
"Hello? Xiao Qin!"
"Captain Yuan, I need help from someone." Qin Yu made the request in a straightforward manner.
"Have you caught a big fish?" Yuan Ke's eyes lit up.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll know after eating it." Qin Yu licked his lips: "The other side may have fierce firepower, and the number of people is initially estimated to be about ten."
"How many people do you want?"
"At least one team."
"... It's hard for me to get two groups together for you now. Our people are all on the case." Yuan Ke felt a little tricky.
"If you don't give me people, I can't catch them." Qin Yu frowned and said, "You know the situation of Group 3."
Yuan Ke pondered for a while: "I'll call the captain of Team 3 and ask them to send people to help. You wait downstairs."
"Laomao's team?" Qin Yu was stunned.
"What's wrong? Is it not possible?"
"Yes, yes, let him come." Qin Yu responded with satisfaction: "I am familiar with him and it is easy to communicate."
"That's it!"
...
About five minutes later.
Laomao led twenty people, wearing light green special police combat uniforms, leather boots, folding explosion-proof shields on shoulders, and five M464 rifles in his hands, and rushed out in big strides.
"Quite fast!" Qin Yu smiled and walked over.
"Fuck, I only came to help because I heard you were the leader. If it was someone else's job, I would have definitely avoided it." Lao Mao bared his teeth and sold Qin Yu a favor: "There are only these people in the dormitory, and the rest are all on the case!" "Thank you." "Don't talk nonsense, we are here to help, and we will listen to your arrangements." Lao Mao waved his hand. "Let's go, talk in the car!" Qin Yu pulled Lao Mao, turned around and shouted to his team members: "Check the communication equipment and formulate a capture plan on the way." "Yes!" The three groups shouted and got in their cars. A few minutes later, four police patrol cars and a multi-functional combat van rushed to the Third Ring Road at the same time. ... In the alley, in a dark and damp room. Aaron was eating braised beef, looking at Old Man Ma with his neck tilted, and asked, "Can you settle the matter? If not, I will distribute the work to other families."
"Yes, you wait a little longer."
"I will wait for you for a week at most." Aaron thought for a while and replied, "I really can't delay any longer. If the warehouse is swept, I will have to pay for everything."
"I understand." Old Man Ma stood up and said, "I will solve the problem within a week."
"Okay!" Aaron took a sip of white wine, raised his head and said, "See you off, Brother Ma!"
When Old Man Ma turned and walked towards the door, he smiled slightly. After a pause, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Along, we don't have much competition in this business on the black street, there are only a few people. But the price of their medicines is twice as high as ours... I don't understand why you insist on not letting us raise the price? How much less money will we make?"
Along wiped his eye mucus and smiled and replied, "Fuck! As long as there is profit, how much is too much?"
Old Ma pondered for a while: "Yes, I'm leaving first."
"Solve the problem quickly."
"Got it."
Old Ma pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
...
Three minutes later.
Xiao Liu called Qin Yu: "Team leader, the situation has changed, Old Ma suddenly left...!"
Qin Yu was stunned for a long time, and immediately asked: "Is the person in the room still there?"
"Yes!"
