312. Chapter 308: Lost 3335
There was actually a thin mist on the sea at night. Compared to the surprise of Lanse and his people, McCork and his people seemed much calmer.
Having watched it for decades, they were long used to it.
The sound of the waves attacked their nerves day and night, accompanied by this treacherous and ever-changing sea that is the same in all four seasons.
Many people who don't see the sea often always have a feeling of being refreshed when they come to the sea, as if the world has suddenly become much larger, and they can feel their own insignificance and the magnificence of the ocean.
People always say that the ocean gave birth to life, and in fact, this is indeed the case. From the unreliable theory of evolution, the ocean is indeed the origin of life.
It is mysterious, beautiful, and full of attraction.
But for those who have stayed by the sea and on the sea for a long time, they cannot see these in their eyes; they can only see desolation, boredom, and even despair.
McCork lit his pipe and sat in the observation room. This armed gunboat actually only has two small cannons, but even so, it is much stronger than before.
Lanse and his people took Luigi's goods, knew the approximate sea area, and after arriving at the location, they turned off the lights, dropped the anchor, and waited in place.
No one spoke. In the dark night, everything seemed mysterious and terrifying.
Everyone was thinking about their own affairs. McCork was thinking about what forty thousand plus fifty thousand could bring to his life, just as others were thinking about what fourteen thousand dollars could bring to their own changes.
The Coast Patrol has never been considered a powerful department, before obtaining this epic strengthening.
They couldn't beat smugglers, couldn't patrol the coastline, and the most work they did was probably towing and rescue work for the New Jincheng dock.
They wore Coast Patrol badges and did the work of dock workers. The only thing that could make them feel a bit more comfortable was probably that their wages were slightly higher.
But it was only slightly higher, not exceeding the level of a class. They were actually poor people too.
I don't know how long they waited, everyone was observing the surrounding sea surface with binoculars, when suddenly someone said, "There is a ship at the four o'clock position!"
Soon everyone went around to his side, and through the binoculars, they looked at a ship with a few lights floating on the sea.
Faintly, one could see that there were many goods on it, and some shadows were shaking.
"Move closer, keep the movement small."
McCork ordered, and the sound of the anchor being raised came, and the ship also began to move slowly.
The sound of the waves covered the sound of the ship's progress, and at the same time, the thin mist became the best cover on the sea surface.
On the ship in the distance, several Sumuli people were eating and chatting, not noticing the arrival of danger.
Luigi's life had become much easier, and these people around him could naturally get a little more money. On this point, Luigi was still able to distinguish clearly.
Everyone's income had become very high now, plus the Republic of Aldera was not a wealthy country.
The money Luigi gave them was enough for them to live the life of people above others in the Republic of Aldera!
Having money, having weapons, having power, this is a life like heaven!
Several people were chatting while eating and drinking, when suddenly one person stopped moving.
He stared straight ahead with a dumbfounded look. After others found something wrong, they waved their hands, but there was no reaction.
They thought he had some sudden illness, or some sudden situation, but someone inadvertently caught a glimpse of the warship piercing through the thin mist with the corner of his eye, and gradually opened his mouth wide.
This armed ship was actually not the big kind, but compared to this kind of transport ship converted from a fishing boat, it was much larger, and an ironclad ship, besides being majestic, also gave people a sense of oppression.
The "Federal Coast Patrol" logo and badge on the ship made them realize they had encountered big trouble!
"What should we do now?" someone asked.
The small leader responsible for escorting this batch of wine looked at the approaching armed ship and lowered his voice. "Cooperate first, if there is a chance... kill them!"
His eyes were slightly red. If such a large batch of goods was lost in his hands, Luigi would definitely not let him die easily!
That fat guy is not a good person; he knows this very well.
But now...
"This is the Federal Coast Patrol, please stop immediately and accept inspection."
"Stand where we can see you, raise your hands high."
"Repeat, stand where we can see you, raise your hands high."
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the people on the ship finally gathered together. They were waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
If these patrol officers wanted to board their ship, then this was the opportunity!
They felt it was highly probable that the other party would come over. As long as they wanted to inspect the goods here, they would definitely have to come up.
But they didn't expect that these people appeared here, at such a coincidental time, at such a coincidental location, just for the things on their ship!
So all they waited for were bullets, and death!
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire that broke the silence of midnight tore through the curtain of silence. Several submachine guns fired together, and the people standing under the spotlight were immediately shot into sieves.
They seemed unwilling to believe until they died that these Federal Coast Patrol people would shoot at them regardless of what was on their ship.
When no one could stand on the deck anymore, Lanse and his people slid down from the armed ship along the ropes.
The small leader, who was already on the verge of death lying on the deck, saw Lanse. His eyes went from confusion to shock, and then to regret, taking only a very short time.
It was him who delivered the goods to Lanse last time. He was very familiar with the situation here, having run it several times, and he recognized Lanse.
He couldn't imagine that Lanse had actually colluded with these Coast Patrol people, and even less could he imagine that someone had betrayed their information.
Blood flowed from his mouth, nose, and wounds. Everything in front of him began to become dim, becoming pitch black...
A slaughter without danger, they threw the corpses on the deck into the water, and everything returned to calm.
"Between four o'clock and five o'clock, there are no patrol teams in these places."
Ninety thousand dollars was already close at hand, and McCork became a bit... uneasy. He was now a bit impatient to see the sky brighten.
Only then could he see his money!
Lanse asked him to arrange two confidants to help drive the ship, and the two sea police jumped over actively.
The two ships went around in a circle one after another and began to return from the other side.
The dead and silent sea surface was like the past midnight, not becoming different because there were a few more corpses in the water.
After about forty minutes, several more transport ships came over. They used searchlights to signal the surrounding sea surface according to the agreed-upon contact signal.
But after signaling for more than half an hour, there was no response.
Shi Dong (the older brother among the younger generation of the Koda family) had a somewhat irritable temper. He took out his pistol and emptied the magazine into the sky. When the gunfire ended, there was still no response around.
At this time, even if he was slow, he knew that if they hadn't taken the wrong road, then something had happened to the other side!
The Koda family had several batches of wine taken down in a row, which had already caused problems with their casino supply. Buying wine locally was too expensive, so they also set their sights on the various low, medium, and high-end wines from Xiang Yalan.
This time, through the relationship of some people, they contacted Luigi. Although Luigi's wine was not the best, it was the fastest to ship.
The Koda family wanted an emergency. Whoever could provide a batch of wine to them faster, they would order from them.
Unexpectedly, problems appeared in the first business deal. These Sumuli people were really unreliable!
But what he didn't know was that under the escort of the Coast Patrol, the wine that should have been sold to him was being sent to their warehouse by Lanse!
As soon as a large batch of wine arrived at the shore, someone began to load the cars. At the same time, Meiluo also brought two large travel bags, which were full of money.
Two hundred thousand, not two hundred and fifty thousand, because McCork and Lanse had discussed it privately, and that fifty thousand was what he deserved.
In the dim light, Lanse threw the two travel bags to McCork. "This is your money."
The breathing of those sea police around became rapid. Their eyes kept shifting between McCork and Lanse, and those travel bags, wishing they could help McCork open those travel bags and count carefully if the money was enough!
McCork was also a bit nervous at this time. He looked at the two travel bags on the deck and signaled his absolute confidants to put the money away first. "I trust you."
He said to Lanse, actually it wasn't that he trusted Lanse, it was that he thought Lanse's business was very big, and he would have to smuggle things in later, so he couldn't do without them!
This was just the first contact, he might as well do it beautifully.
The two didn't shake hands. After a brief eye contact, they separated. Lanse returned to the shore, and the patrol ship set sail again.
Under the urging of the crew, McCork opened the two travel bags. The banknotes tied with rubber bands densely inside made a smile appear on everyone's face!
Before dawn, Luigi was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He cursed and picked up the phone. "You'd better find a reason that makes me forgive you!"
His temper was not very good. After he started making big money, his temper was not very good.
The voice of Shi Dong came from the other end of the phone. "Your goods didn't arrive at the designated place."
Luigi woke up all at once. "This is impossible, I watched them board the ship!"
Shi Dong was also a bit angry. "Do you mean I'm lying to you?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"What kind of joke are you making?!"
Luigi calmed down. "Maybe they were delayed on the road..."
Shi Dong didn't give him face. "Do you believe your own explanation?"
"It only takes one day from Aldera to the Federation, don't tell me they got lost."
"Luigi, I'll give you two roads."
"Either return the deposit to me."
"Or send me another batch of wine!"
"Don't force me to go to your place!"
