From the east side, entering the Bath Alley in the slum, Li Zaian's car drove into the alley, and on the edge of a graffiti-covered wall, a naked young man was teasing three or two little kids with a sweet orange with a naked butt
Seeing Li Zaian's car coming, the young man threw the orange into the corner, which attracted several little kids to run over and compete. He trotted all the way to meet Li Zaian through the car window: Paul, Moro asked you to go to him after you come back.
Li Zaian nodded with his eyes closed, but he was guessing what Banoro was looking for him to do
Some time ago, Banoro was seriously ill, and later was diagnosed with pneumonia, which required rest. Therefore, for a while, except for the regular meetings of middle-level leaders, he rarely came forward to preside over organizational affairs in person.
Sir, will you go back to your residence first? Sitting in the passenger seat, Shipi waited until the car drove through the alley, and turned around and asked.
No, go directly to Moro. Li Zai'an shook his head and said
Although the roads in the slums are narrow, they are all connected like spiders. The bodyguard in charge of driving finds a shortcut and rushes to Banoro's residence.
Since escaping from prison, Banoro's residence has been on high alert, with at least a dozen gunmen guarding openly and secretly. Even several houses near the residence have been cleared and specially arranged for the gunmen to live in.
Li Zaian came over by car, and was still a distance from Banoro's residence. He saw two or three cars parked in front of the door, and six or seven people were standing in front of the door with umbrellas. Several of them looked familiar, but they couldn't remember seeing them somewhere.
Mr. Paul...
Mr. Paul...
The car stopped in the small courtyard in front of the residence. Li Zaian got out of the car, and people gathered in the courtyard came over to say hello.
Li Zaian responded and walked into the main entrance of the residence, without asking what these people did from beginning to end.
When we walked through the entrance and into the living room, three people sat next to the wide oval conference table in the living room. Banoro, wearing pajamas, held his chin with one hand, was sitting on his seat in meditating.
There were two people sitting opposite him, one of whom was bearded, Loriz, the middle-level leader of the organization in charge of the St. Amaro District, while the other one, Li Zai'an, had never seen him before.
Hey, Paul, come and sit. When he saw Li Zai'an walking into the living room, Banoro smiled on his stagnant face, he waved his hand and said
Mr. Paul, Loriz dared not be as casual as he did, but stood up respectfully and greeted him
The middle-aged man Li Zaian had never seen before also stood up with Loriz, and a hint of tension appeared on his thin face.
Li Zaian walked over, picked up an apple from the fruit plate placed on the table, threw it into the air, and held it with his back hand, while saying expressionlessly: I just came back after lunch, I heard you were looking for me?
Of course, I asked Banoro. Loriz, who were ignored, was not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction. He stood there quietly
Yes, there is something you can take a look first. Banoro nodded and glanced at Loriz standing
The latter coughed dryly, picked up a plastic bag that was originally placed in front of him, and sent it to Li Zaian.
The plastic bag is transparent, with a slowly bag of white crystals inside. The shapes of these crystals are very irregular, like pure coarse salt particles.
Li Zaian took the bag and held it in his hand and weighed it. It was roughly estimated that it should be about one kilogram.
Where did it come from? He opened his bag and sniffed carefully. Li Zaian frowned and asked
The bag contains methamphetamine, a new type of drug, chemical name methamphetamine
For traditional drug trafficking organizations like Morio, this thing is a taboo. If someone dares to sell this thing in the area under Morio's control, the only result after being caught is to lose his life
Don't think that drug trafficking organizations will lose their rules if they don't abide by the law. In fact, the rules that everyone must abide by are even stricter than the law within the organization and among various organizations.
Like all drug trafficking organizations active in South America, the drugs sold by Morio are derivatives of cocaine, such as marijuana, cocaine, etc. For those with wider channels, they occasionally touch heroin, opium, etc., but no one can touch methamphetamine, which is different from the situation in Mexico.
At first, Li Zaian didn't understand the reason. According to the organization's explanation, selling methamphetamine is something that only beggars do, because this thing is completely a chemical synthetic agent, and the cost is extremely low.
But as time goes by, after getting familiar with Morio's operation, Li Zaian finally understood the real reason.
As a drug, the key link of methamphetamine lies in a production process.
As long as you have raw materials, corresponding chemical knowledge, and complete equipment, a drug production team composed of two people can produce more than 400 kilograms of methamphetamine products in a day.
Needless to mention the knowledge of chemistry, there is it in that book. As a raw material, amphetamine, those who know chemistry can even extract it from methylamine. The entire process requires less labor, less investment, and less profit splitting links.
As for cocaine and heroin, the former requires large-scale planting of coca, while the latter requires large-scale planting of poppy. In other words, if there is no origin and corresponding planting labor as the basis, these two types of drugs are not likely to be mass-produced at all.
In this way, the production process of these two types of drugs is quite cumbersome, and the profit splitting process is also extremely complicated.
After comparison, a question arises: Why is the profit of methamphetamine high, the profit of cocaine and heroin relatively low, while none of the big drug lords who can count internationally are born by selling methamphetamine?
The answer is actually very simple. The most critical factor is the texture of the interest network. To put it more bluntly, it is the number of participants.
In South America, there are 80,000 hectares of coca planting fields in Peru alone; and Bolivia's national population is 6 million, of which 500,000 people are engaged in coca planting industry; Colombia, known as the drug kingdom, has a large number of coca planting fields in the south and southeast of the whole south, with an annual output of coca leaves of tens of thousands of tons.
It is these vast coca planting fields and a huge number of coca farmers that have consolidated the mass and social foundation of the existence of the big drug lords.
The government is actually destroying drug abuse and cracking down on drug lords, which is actually destroying the jobs of these coca farmers, because their interests and even their living foundation have long been firmly tied to these drug lords.
Colombia has been war-torn for more than ten years. Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador are rampant in anti-government guerrillas. Mexican government forces are still defeated by drug trafficking forces with the support of the United States.
Why is this?
Although there are factors that are unfairly distributed in social wealth, the fundamental interests of the general public cannot be ignored.
A drug trafficking organization that sells cocaine and Hero industry must have a huge social group behind it. This is especially true in South America. Usually, a ton of cocaine is involved in the entire link from production to sale. The police want to fight drugs, which is equivalent to confronting these people at the same time.
A drug trafficking organization mainly sells methamphetamine. There are only about a dozen people in a ton of methamphetamine from production to sales. The police only need to take them in one pot. The power of resistance is minimal.
The Jamaican drug lord Cork, who is almost unable to rank among many South American drug lords, but in order to extradite him to the United States for trial, the entire Jamaican political arena was hit. The incumbent president lost blockbuster votes, and the police and Cork supporters continued to clash, nearly 100 people died and hundreds were arrested by the police.
Since the emergence of methamphetamine, which methamphetamine dealer has been able to do this?
In the final analysis, drug trafficking organizations that sell methamphetamine are basically single-minded and cannot form a large enough scale. For cocaine, heroin's main drug trafficking organizations often have extremely strict organizational structures, organizational foundations and reserve human resources.
A large-scale anti-drug operation by the police may directly defeat a methamphetamine group, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat a cocaine or heroin drug trafficking group
Morio can only be regarded as a small group among drug trafficking organizations in South America, but behind this group is the drug manufacturing and drug trafficking network in Colombia. With this basis as support, although Morio has a fight with several drug trafficking organizations entrenched in Sao Paulo, he will never fight to the death.
What is reflected in this is an implicit underground rule, and such rules are difficult to form within the methamphetamine organization.
There is no order without rules. There are rules that similar organizations must abide by. This is also one of the signs that cocaine, heroin drug trafficking groups are more advanced than methamphetamine groups.
From these two points, drug trafficking organizations like Morio regard drug dealers selling methamphetamine as beggars, which is really nothing wrong with it.
It was my man who copied it from two foreigners, Loriz coughed lightly and said
What he said about the foreigner did not mean coming from a city outside of St. Paul, but said that these two people were not people in the organization
Where is the person? Li Zaian threw the methamphetamine on the table, pulled out a dagger from his waist, asked, and swung the dagger in his hand and cut the whole bag of methamphetamine in half.
Loriz subconsciously glanced at Banoro, and saw him sitting there with a smile and not talking, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Two young men guarding the entrance hall heard the sound, and soon dragged two people in from outside.
Two guys who were dragged in like dead dogs are white, big, with tattoos on their left arm, and the pattern looks like thrush
The two guys must have been tortured before. They were covered in blood and their whole face was beaten to purple, so swollen that they couldn't even see their eyes.
Has the identity been found? Li Zaian sat on the chair, pinched a piece of methamphetamine crystal with two fingers, and asked slowly
Haha, Paul, haven't introduced you yet, Banoro finally spoke, pointing to the thin middle-aged man sitting next to Loriz, and laughing, this is Mr. Lisette Claylo
Just such a simple introduction, Banoro shut up and turned his eyes to Loriz on the side
Mr. Lisette is the most famous lawyer in the district of St. Amaro. He has helped us a lot in the past. Loriz hurriedly said, "He came this time to hope that we can let these two foreigners go." His client is willing to pay $500,000 in compensation for this.
Hello, Mr. Paul, it is my honor to know you. Since Banoro came forward to introduce him, Lisette stood up. Until Loriz explained the whole situation, he complimented with a smile on his face.
This is the first time Lissett appeared in front of him, but Li Zaian is not unfamiliar with his fame. In fact, Li Zaian still knows a few more and less about lawyers like Li Zaian.
These people have regular lawyer licenses and are indeed real lawyers, but their main targets are criminal groups like Morio
Don't underestimate gangster lawyers like Lisette. Their energy can be said to be amazing. Behind these people are often a political group. Every time it comes to the general election, they are responsible for connecting these political groups and criminal groups, converting the illegal political donations obtained by the political group into legal political donations through the financial laundering channels of the criminal group.
In turn, they used the support provided by the political group to provide legal services to the criminal group and evade important members of the criminal group that fell into the hands of the police.
It is precisely because of this that, under normal circumstances, drug trafficking organizations like Morio are unwilling to offend people like Lisette. After all, everyone has a symbiotic relationship with each other.
Lisette personally found Morio and promised $500,000 to buy the lives of these two methamphetamine dealers. This matter itself is not simple.
When dealing with methamphetamine dealers, drug trafficking organizations like Morio have strict rules. If you catch them, you will be executed. Li Zai'an just cut the bag of methamphetamine in half, which is in accordance with the punishment rules. The meaning is to divide the pound of methamphetamine into two portions, so that the two methamphetamine dealers can eat each portion of each.
Li Zai'an is the second leader of the Morio organization, and decided that the punishment was his duty, which means that whether these two methamphetamine dealers should be executed or handed over to Lisette should be decided by him.
According to the rules, these two people must die because they not only sell methamphetamine, but also cross the boundaries. If they are not executed, the people below will be dissatisfied. After all, Morio's current control area is fought back by the people below.
But if you really kill someone, you will undoubtedly offend Lisette and then provoke the forces behind him - Li Zaian doesn't care about offending people, but judging by the meaning of Banoro and Loriz, they clearly plan to accept reconciliation.
Mr. Paul, I think it is necessary to explain one thing. Lisette saw the hesitation in Li Zai'an's eyes, so he rushed to say, "The things that my client is not for sale," Mr. Loriz can also prove this on his behalf.
Loriz licked his lips, nodded first, and briefly described the process of the two foreigners being arrested.
Speaking of which, it is also considered that these two guys are unlucky. They encountered a robbery at a subway station in the San Amaro district. A suitcase they carried with them was snatched away by two young people playing skateboards. At that time, the bag of methamphetamine was in that suitcase.
What's even more unfortunate is that the two young skateboarders were peripheral members of the Morio drug trafficking organization. After they found the methamphetamine in their suitcases, they reported it directly to the online store. Then, the two unlucky people were caught back.
What does Momoa mean? Li Zai'an lowered his head and thought for a while, and turned his eyes to Banoro
Banoro sat there, his eyes were a little erratic, and there was a strange red color floating on his cheeks that had already sunken.
Momoma, Momoma, what do you mean? Seeing that Banoro didn't seem to hear his question, Li Zai'an asked another question
Ah... This time Banoro heard it. He instinctively said, but he didn't expect that when his mouth was wide open, it led to a yawn.
This yawn was so refreshing. Before the open mouth could be closed, tears had already flowed out of the swollen eyelids, and a turbid snot was sprayed from the scarlet nose.
Lisette was stunned by the sight of him. Banoro, who was still energetic just now, seemed to have changed someone in just a few minutes. Seeing his sluggish and tears flowing, people with a little experience knew that he was a drug addiction.
Seeing Li Zaian's car coming, the young man threw the orange into the corner, which attracted several little kids to run over and compete. He trotted all the way to meet Li Zaian through the car window: Paul, Moro asked you to go to him after you come back.
Li Zaian nodded with his eyes closed, but he was guessing what Banoro was looking for him to do
