From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia and the others drove from the apartment and arrived at the outskirts of the legendary 'City of God' about 45 minutes later.

What surprised Qiao Jia was that there was actually a gang setting up a card to collect fees, and there were actually many tourists around.

The police car was parked 50 meters away from the slum, and the police inside seemed unable to see the situation here.

Seeing the tourists from all over the world paying with fear and getting on the motorcycles waiting for customers on the roadside with excitement, Qiao Jia said funnyly: "Who is this financially minded?

Has the ‘City of God’ become a tourist attraction? "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia stuck his head out of the window and looked at the densely packed simple houses built against the mountain in the distance. He said with a smile: "Don't tell me, the houses here are painted in colors, which is quite interesting."

While Qiao Jia was talking, a fat gangster came to their car with a smile, looked at Boss Qiao and said: "Everyone who wants to visit has to pay 500 Yarel protection fee.

Your car is nice, but it can't be driven in. If you leave it here, you need to pay an additional 2,000 yares for care. "

Qiao Jia looked at the fat black man in front of him who was wearing a floral shirt and an afro, and he was quite happy. He smiled and said, "Can you protect my safety after I pay you?"

The fat black man spread his hands and said: "As long as you don't deliberately look for trouble and don't go to a few important places, we can be responsible for your safety."

As he spoke, the fat black man glanced at Ronnie who was driving and the medical officer in the passenger seat. He smiled and said: "It seems that you are a rich man. If you are willing to pay twice as much, I will arrange a tour guide for you. He can guarantee that you will not make any mistakes in it."

Qiao Jia nodded after hearing this. He took the banknotes handed over by 'Kitten', counted a few and stuffed them into Fat Black Man's hand. Then he pointed at a few small sheep motorcycles in the distance and said with a smile: "Rent three motorcycles to me, is that okay?"

The fat black man had the excess ticket money in his hand. He hesitated for a while and said, "Then you have to pay a deposit. It's 5,000 yuan for a car. If you are not a local, it is easy to lose it if you ride in."

This was the first time Qiao Jia saw such a gangster. He looked back at the 'Kitten' who also got out of the car...

After getting her nod to confirm, he counted a handful of money and stuffed it into Fatty Hei's hand, and said with a smile: "Rent three motorcycles, find me a better tour guide, and let him lead us on the bike." Get in."

The fat black man kissed the banknotes in his hand, waved boldly and said: "Follow me, my brother Ricardo will take you in...

You are lucky, my brother is going to be a big star, remember to ask him for an autograph, it will definitely be worth a lot of money in the future. "

Qiao Jia followed the fat man 200 meters with the very interested 'kitten' in his arms. When he saw him vacating a parking space on the roadside, he asked Ronnie to park the car and then looked into the distance. A group of children who were playing football shouted: "Ricardo, come here, you have a job..."

Qiao Jia stood on the roadside and looked at the vibrant slums around him. He said a little funny: "How does it feel to have to buy tickets when you go home?

This place is really different from the 'City of God' I imagined..."

The fat black man who was squatting on the ground to unlock the motorcycle heard what Joga said. He grinned and said: "Foreigners, Rocinha during the day and Rocinha at night are two different places.

We are the ones who keep the word here. When the police come, we have to stand aside! "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia asked curiously: "What kind of gang are you? Are you charging this with the consent of all the gangs?"

The fat black man said nonchalantly: "Everyone takes his turn. With our guidance, you won't lose your lives here..."

While the fat black man was talking, a boy with yellow hair on his head ran up to him.

The boy was tall but very thin. He glanced at Boss Qiao and said curiously: "Are you from the island country?"

Qiao Jia didn't react at first. After he was stunned for a moment, he cursed angrily: "What's wrong with your damn eyes? How do I look like an island native?"

The little yellow guy was Ricardo. When he saw Boss Qiao’s appearance, he nodded and said, “Oh, then you must be Chinese.

I heard that you are very rich. Su Lai next door robbed a Chinese man yesterday and sold the camera alone for several thousand yuan.

I’m also planning to go shopping in the city in the evening…”

Qiao Jia laughed in anger. He raised his middle finger towards Xiao Huangmao and cursed: "What's the matter? Do you still need to watch people when you are robbing?"

Ricardo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Those island farmers don't carry any cash, and they also like to bark. It's very troublesome to rob them."

Qiao Jia looked at this boy with distorted views. He really felt aggrieved for his family...

The word "poor people get rich" is originally a good word, but in a place like this, it has become synonymous with "fat sheep".

Qiao Jia didn't feel angry or anything, he just felt that the treatment of islanders in Brazil was better than that of Chinese people, which made him a little unhappy.

However, people have been cultivating in Brazil for decades, and the land purchased by islanders or immigrants in Brazil has reached 1.1 million square kilometers, which is twice the size of their homeland.

There is no way to reason about this. Chinese people come here as tourists, but islanders are here as landlords...

Boss Qiao is not a narrow-minded person, but he still feels a little awkward at this moment...

Looking at Ricardo who was angry, Boss Qiao took out 1,000 yuan and said, "I'll give you a 1,000 yuan deposit. You go out to rob someone today and only look for people from the island.

Don't worry about whether you get money or not. Go to Capacabana Beach with your island citizen's ID and I'll give you 2,000 yuan for robbing an island citizen. "

When Ricardo heard this, he looked at Boss Qiao like a fool and said, "What if you are trying to trick me?"

Qiao Jia saw that the fat black man had prepared his motorcycle. He rode up and asked the 'kitten' who had been laughing to get on the bus. Then he looked at Ricardo and said, "You are a fucking gangster, and you are still afraid of me?" Deadbeat?"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at Ronny and the Medical Officer Bird who were already prepared, and he shouted to Ricardo: "Hurry up and lead the way, I want to go up and have a look..."

Ricardo avoided his brother's hand and kissed the banknote vigorously. Then he rushed into the house on the roadside and pushed out a bicycle. He pushed it for a few steps and then sat on it...

"Follow me all..."

Qiao Jia looked at the pink bicycle riding Ricardo with decorative streamers hanging on the handlebars, and he suddenly wanted to laugh...

These two guys are so much fun that Boss Qiao didn’t expect!

Of course, they are still bastards, but they are definitely the brighter ones among the bastards.

Ricardo was very familiar with the surroundings. He led Boss Joe and the others around an area with a very suspicious smell, avoiding the gun-toting gangsters, and entered the Rocinha slums from a small road...

The slum is built on the mountain. If you look closer, it looks like an urban village waiting for demolition. Except for necessary roads, everything is covered with buildings.

In broad daylight, most of the people in the slums went out to look for food. Most of the people staying here were women, children, some drug addicts, and of course gangsters...

Ricardo, who was leading the way, would stop from time to time, run up to some people who seemed not to be trifled with, and say something with a smile on his face.

Most of the time, the gangsters would smile and nod and let him go. Occasionally, some would be more arrogant and would seize a few cigarettes from Ricardo's body as money for traveling.

Ricardo seemed to be used to it. After taking Boss Qiao and the others a hundred meters away, he would stop the car and yell at the person who had just blackmailed him.

Then when those guys were trying to catch up, he pedaled his bike hard to escape from their sight.

Along the way, 'Mao Mao' stood behind the motorcycle, holding his hands on Boss Qiao's shoulders, happily describing the surrounding environment to him...

"Did you see that sign? It was the sign of a gang called the Liberators. They controlled the cigarette trade in this area."

“And that one, that’s a gang symbol called a ‘cross dart’.

They imitated the ninjas in the movie and used darts to fight with people. In the end, they were beaten so hard that they jumped into the sea and almost drowned. "

………………

………………

Qiao Jia listened to the "Kitten" telling the names of gangsters in detail, and he had a completely new understanding of the "City of God".

The reason why the gangs here were first established was that the residents of an area spontaneously formed a team to protect themselves.

It's just that gangsters never end well, and violent gangs always fall into violence.

But from what the 'kitty' means, the community gangs here still take care of the residents within their jurisdiction.

The 'City of God', which houses more than 300,000 people, has hundreds of gangs, large and small. They stick to their own territory, and then constantly expand outwards, trying to eat other gangs.

Then a vicious cycle forms here!

Big gangs such as the 'Red Command' and the 'Capital First Command', whose main source of income is drug trafficking, occupy the largest territory in the slums, and have their own drug manufacturing factories and even their own army.

The current 'Red Command' has an unstable foundation here because the people in charge are not locals.

Their drug manufacturing factory and main force were squeezed to a relatively remote location on the east side by the Capital First Headquarters.

Frankly speaking, after seeing the City of God in person, Qiao Jia didn't feel that terrible.

The women and children walking on the road here, no matter how poorly they are dressed, as long as you say hello to them, they will respond with a smile.

The optimist attitude of South Americans is vividly reflected here!

Halfway through the ride, 'Kitten' suddenly asked Boss Qiao to stop.

Ricardo, who was leading the way, saw that the big customer had stopped. He made a neat U-turn and rushed to Boss Qiao's side with one foot on the ground, and said, "What are you stopping for?"

As he said that, he saw 'Kitten' walking towards a side road, and he shouted nervously: "Hey, hey, hey, you can't go there..."

Qiao Jia took out a big bill and put it into Ricardo's hand, and said with a smile: "You stay and look at the car, we will go up and have a look..."

Ricardo neatly stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, and then said worriedly: "That's the territory of the Scorpio Gang. It should be okay to go in and stroll around, but don't take pictures with your mobile phone..."

Qiao Jia waved his hand to show that he understood, then turned around and led Medical Officer Bird and Ronnie to catch up with the 'kitten'.

Anyone who has been to urban villages full of illegal constructions will know that it is especially easy to get lost in places like this.

'Kitten' is very familiar with this place. Even if there are changes in the buildings in some places, she can quickly go around it.

After walking in circles for more than ten minutes, Qiao Jia unexpectedly discovered that in this area full of buildings, a small piece of open space was deliberately left open...

There was a large, shabby table in the center of the open space, with several benches on either side.

Two groups of more than a dozen young gang members gathered there, looking at their tense manner, as if they were negotiating...

When they noticed Boss Qiao and the others appeared, the two groups cast their eyes over at the same time...

Ronnie and Medical Officer Bird blocked the front left side of Boss Joe, holding the drawstring of the tactical backpack with their left hands, ready to open the backpack to form a tactical vest at any time.

Boss Qiao looked at the evil looks of the group of people and was about to raise his hand to say that he was in the wrong place when he heard the 'kitten' beside him cheering...

"Anderson..."

Following the cheers of 'Kitten', a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the long table stood up with squinted eyes...

Qiao Jia looked at the guy with tattoos on his face. He actually took out a pair of glasses and put them on his face. Then he came over with a big smile. He looked at the 'kitten' in disbelief and said, "This is who?"

'Kitten' smiled and said: "This is my neighbor..."

Saying "Kitten", he rushed over and hugged Anderson, then pulled him to the front of Boss Qiao and said: "Anderson, this is my boyfriend, Jackal..."

Anderson looked Boss Qiao up and down, smiled and stretched out his hand to give a firm squeeze. After feeling Boss Qiao's strength, he nodded to the 'kitten' and said, "A very strong guy..."

'Kitten' listened and said proudly: "Of course, he is the best man I have ever met!"

Said 'Kitten' looked around and said: "Is Milani still there?"

After hearing this, Anderson's expression dimmed for a moment, then he squeezed out a smile and said: "She is at home, I will take you to see her..."

As he spoke, Anderson walked up to a gangster with a savage face and said in a deep voice: "We won't talk about the water pipes in Aido's house that you broke today. We will still be here tomorrow morning. Let's continue..."

Upon hearing this, the arrogant gangster said unhappily: "I can't get up in the morning..."

Qiao Jia watched the two sides carrying out childish negotiations with lethal weapons, and his teeth almost fell out of laughter.

How the hell does this look like a gang?

But when Qiao Jia followed Anderson and 'Kitten' into a small building, he couldn't help but laugh...

Several young women with disheveled hair were locked in a room with chains.

When Qiao Jia frowned and wanted to ask what was going on, Anderson opened the solid iron door, looked sideways at Boss Qiao, and said, "Are you scared?"

Boss Qiao saw 'Kitten' rushing in, holding an unconscious blonde girl, and kept slapping her cheeks in an attempt to wake her up...

At this time, Boss Qiao realized something was wrong. He frowned and looked at Andre and said, "Are you helping them detoxify?"

Anderson smiled and shook his head, picked up a methadone pill box from the side window sill, and said, "I'm not helping, I'm paying for it!"

After hearing this, Qiao Jia gave a thumbs up and said: "Charging is also a good thing!

But why only women? "

Andre spread his hands and said: "Because men can make money selling drugs, if these women can't quit, they can only become cheap prostitutes used by other gangs to make money.

They don't want to be prostitutes, especially cheap ones..."

While the two were talking, Milani in front of the 'kitten' suddenly began to vomit...

Qiao Jia looked at the helpless look of the 'kitten'. He pushed the medical officer bird and said, "Go and take a look..."

Medical Officer Bird walked over and checked Milani's body, then looked at Qiao Jia and said: "Boss, she is very addicted to drugs and has severe herpes. She has to go to the hospital. She can't survive staying here. "

Qiao Jia looked at the face of the previously very happy 'Kitten' that suddenly turned gloomy. He shook his head slightly and said, "I'll contact the hospital and we'll leave now..."

When Anderson heard this, he said in surprise: "You want to help her?"

Qiao Jia frowned and said, "She is Kitten's friend, shouldn't I help?"

After hearing this, Anderson looked into Boss Qiao's eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I'll call a taxi..."

Just when Anderson went out and wanted to make a phone call, there was a sudden noise below, and then a gunshot was heard not far away...

"Shit!"

Anderson yelled and cursed, and when he turned around to ask Qiao Jia and the others to hide, he was surprised to find that Boss Qiao and the others opened their backpacks to form a tactical vest, and then several people skillfully pulled out a UMP45 submachine gun...

Qiao Jia opened the folding butt of the gun and pushed the safety, looked at the surprised Anderson and said, "It's normal to bring a gun to the City of God..."

Anderson pulled out a Glock with a one-foot-long magazine from his waist, and compared the gap with Boss Joe. He nodded dejectedly and said: "Don't go down, I'll go see what's going on first..."

If you have any trouble, go down from the balcony. 'Kitty' should know the way. "

‘Kitten’ walked up to Boss Qiao with red eyes, stared at Anderson, and said: “Who made Milani do this?

When I left, Milani vowed to become a model. Why did she become like this..."

Anderson shook his head and said: "How can a model from the slums escape the control of the gang?

Don't ask. If you want to help her, take her to the hospital. "

'Kitten' gritted his teeth and said, "It was someone from the Capital First Command who did it, right?"

Anderson stretched his head and glanced down and said, "Don't ask, just wait here, I want to go down and take a look..."

After Anderson ran away, Ronnie walked to the corridor and glanced down, then turned to Qiao Jia and said: "Boss, that Anderson seems to be in trouble..."
