1249. News (3/5)
The search for mammoth ivory is now controlled by two forces, gangs and clans, which is related to the working environment.
As previously introduced, the wilderness of Siberia is too dangerous. Without sufficient reliable assistance, the more you dig ivory in those places, the more dangerous it is.
For Li Du, 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars is not much, but for these labor workers living at the bottom, the money can be saved as a family's living expenses for several years.
Without the cost of crime, killing a person and taking away the mammoth ivory he dug is a very attractive choice for many people.
According to the investigation data, Jonnas Malone joined four gangs, namely the Sea Dragon Gang, the Big K Gang, the Niu Ke Gang and the Ice and Snow Battle Axe.
These gangs have a very fast update metabolism. Many people will wash their hands after digging a few mammoth ivory. It is obviously better to use this money to do a small business in the city than to be cold in the wasteland.
There are many dangers in the wasteland. Not only are the same people eyeing them behind their backs, but also the grassland wolf, poisonous spiders, poisonous insects and various swamps, which are not easy to make money.
Jonnas Malone joined too many gangs, which caused trouble for Li Du and his team's inquiry work, because they didn't know if Malone was still in the Ice and Snow Battle Axe organization.
However, the Ice and Snow Battle Axe is a clue of investigation, and Li Du and the others have to start inquiring from this clue.
As soon as they entered the door, someone whistled at them. A big man with a tattoo on his face smiled frivolously: "Wow, where are the beautiful girls from? I like them!"
Godzilla, Dao and others then walked in. The tattooed man turned around silently, and hugged the big wine glass and drank his wine honestly.
Most of them are good at bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and although they are rude, they are not very happy to cause trouble.
The reason is that after entering the wasteland, no one can tell what happened. No one wants to offend anyone and then be hung behind his tail. This may happen when a black gun will be encountered.
The tattooed man takes the initiative to cause trouble, and Li Du is not polite, so let’s make a breakthrough from this guy.
He sat down, and the others followed.
The tattooed man can bend and stretch, and stand up with his wine glass and want to leave.
Li Du nodded, and Godzilla's two big hands slapped the tattooed man's shoulder like iron pliers, and forced him back with brute force.
The tattooed man was a little panicked and took the initiative to show weakness and said, "Ha, guys, I said a few more words just now when I got too drunk."
"Yes, don't be as knowledgeable as this idiot." The people next to him also spoke for him.
Some people's words were soft and hard: "It's nothing to say anything in the bar, right? Everyone knows where this is, and there are reasons for coming here, right?"
Li Du patted the table and said to the bartender: "Please drink, craft ice beer, give these guys a full glass of wine, I'll invite them to drink."
The tattooed men were confused and didn't know what medicine he was selling.
After drinking a sip of craft beer mixed with ice, Li Du couldn't help but sigh: "It's so cool, it's almost cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet!"
The tattoo man chuckled: "If you go to Evanki and Saha, you will feel this way without drinking cold beer."
Li Du nodded with a smile: "I'm going now. Do you often go there?"
The tattoo man said, "I'll go occasionally, uh, you know, there are mammoth ivory there, right?"
"Yes, there are mammoth ivory there, and there are many gangs." Li Du raised his glass and signaled him to cheer together, "Which gang are you from?"
The tattooed man sniffed, and he would be a little alert.
Li Du's words easily made them think that it was an enemy who came to the door, but ivory hunters generally would not solve the problem in the city. There are places in the wasteland where they can be scrambled, and even those who die can handle it.
Thinking of this, the men relaxed.
The tattoo man said, "Monster Face, we are all monster faces. Do you know us? Our boss is a Cossack blushing face, he is a cool guy."
"Yeah, Cossack's red-faced brother! I wish him good health and courage!"
The others then raised their glasses and shouted, not because they really wanted to give a toast, but it looked more like they were reporting to Li Du and his group.
Li Du ignored this and smiled and said, "I just came here and don't know what you are doing. Does the monster face? Sorry, I haven't heard of it much, but I have heard of the Ice and Snow Battle Axe."
After hearing his words, the expressions of several people were not very good. One of them said, "Ice and Snow Battle Axe? I admit that they are a group of powerful bastards, but they are finished."
"What does it mean?" Li Du was depressed. Of course he knew what it meant. The gang of Ice and Snow Battle Axe was disbanded or closed down.
Sure enough, the big man smiled and said, "There is no such gang anymore. It hasn't been a month ago. The bosses are bastards, so they ran away with the ivory dug by the gang."
This is an important reason why the gang goes bankrupt. The poor are all in this industry. They are reunited not because of friendship, but to unite forces to protect each other.
The root cause of the troubles caused by precious things such as mammoth ivory. In order to save this thing, they will concentrate after obtaining the ivory, and then accumulate a certain amount before processing it.
The Siberian wasteland is too big, and it is very difficult to get in and out. There are no ivory buyers inside, so they can't sell one ivory just after getting it.
Therefore, when the number of ivory accumulated is too high, chaos may occur within the gang, and some people will find ways to steal them. Generally, the big guys do this, and they have more power.
Li Du took out a photo depressedly and said, "Damn it, this is terrible. I originally wanted to find my fellow man to make a fortune together, but he told me that he was staying in the ice and snow battle axe..."
Several people looked at the photo together, and then their faces showed a blank expression. It was obvious that they did not know Jonnas Malone.
There are many ivory hunters, with tens of thousands or tens of thousands, and it is impossible for them to know each other, especially Jonnas Malone knows his identity. He is very low-key in his work and will not easily make himself famous.
A big man said, "If you want to find someone from the Ice and Snow Battle Axe, then I suggest you go to Black Cross to ask. Black Cross has taken in a lot of people."
Li Du said: "There are so many brothers in our bar, it is impossible that no one knows me, this guy, right? Who can help me find him? As long as there is information, I will give him 10,000 yuan."
"Dollar?" Someone's eyes immediately lit up.
"USD." Li Du nodded.
Several big men took action, and after a while, a young man with a hideous scar on his face was brought over.
He glanced at Li Du and asked, "What are you looking for Bryant?"
"Bryant?" Li Du shook his head, "My name is Black Viper. Of course, I only know his nickname. He has never told me his real name."
