219 The fiery red of red oil
Causeway Bay.
The streets are bustling with lights, pedestrians are passing by, and there are many shops with a wide variety of products.
Men and women are shopping and having fun, and gangsters are taking advantage of the night to make money.
A crossroads.
Located at the end of the street.
The green light beside the road is flashing.
It's about to cut to a red light.
"Sir Yan, we have one that has been with us for a long time."
"Let's cross the red light and get rid of him!"
Several taxis passed the intersection ahead.
drop.
The green light switches to red light.
A young voice sounded in Yan Guoliang's car.
It turns out that all ICAC vehicles are equipped with on-board walkie-talkies. As long as they are tuned to the same channel, they can communicate at any time within two hundred meters.
There were a total of four buses escorting the ICAC commissioner home, so naturally the intercom channel had to be turned on while driving.
This way everyone can communicate in the car.
At this moment, the sound coming from Yan Guoliang's car stereo was actually the ICAC members talking on one of the two buses ahead.
The ICAC member who spoke was also right, everything was done for Sir Yan's safety.
Because at three intersections and two kilometers away, the tanker truck was already following the convoy. It was neither fast nor slow along the way. It would not overtake when there was a chance, and it would not let go of the convoy.
You must know that oil tankers themselves are dangerous vehicles. A convoy escorting important people will first choose to avoid it. When the convoy is unavoidable and cannot be avoided, it will naturally be discovered that there is a problem.
If something happens to the tanker truck...
That is no small matter!
At this time, the tires of the two cars in front had already crossed the zebra crossing.
Yan Guoliang picked up the walkie-talkie hanging next to the car, pressed the call button and said: "Stop the car."
Squeak!
The two cars in front stopped quickly and half of their cars stopped on the zebra crossing, which made people on both sides of the street feel baffled. No one stepped across the line for a while.
"Abide by traffic regulations."
At the same time, Yan Guoliang also braked the car door, causing the ghost vehicle behind him that was about to follow him to stop suddenly.
I saw Yan Guoliang holding the walkie-talkie. After saying the last four words, he released the call button and hung up the walkie-talkie back to the car.
In front of the zebra crossing.
The four ICAC vehicles with different layouts seem to represent the current situation of the ICAC.
The two cars in front.
Acting on behalf of the ICAC has crossed the line.
The commissioner's car in the middle.
The representative commissioner is at the center of the whirlpool.
Security vehicle at the back.
It means that the ghost guys are the ICAC’s greatest reliance!
As for Yan Guoliang's order to stop, maybe he thought it would come when it should come, and he could avoid it. Maybe he thought that doing things could cross the line, but thinking could not.
You do things that cross the line in order to defeat the darkness. You don't stop at red or green. Where do you put the fairness and justice of the ICAC?
"boom!"
The tanker truck following closely behind seemed to represent the police force's determination to resist.
Less than three seconds after the ICAC convoy stopped, a huge crash sounded. The two tank trucks behind accelerated the accelerator and rushed forward without hesitation. Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
I saw the front of the tanker truck directly hit the van where Gui Lao was sitting, and then pushed the van all the way forward with a squeak, hitting the commissioner's vehicle where Yan Guoliang was sitting, and finally pushed the two cars in front, all the way to the intersection.
middle.
"Ah!!!" At this moment, pedestrians on both sides of the road and vehicles at other intersections all burst into screams, filling the streets of Causeway Bay.
The crowd and vehicles began to retreat crazily, shouting and honking their horns, and quickly moved away from the intersection.
Just like that, there were only five dilapidated and messy cars left in the middle of the Causeway Bay intersection. Members of the ICAC, ICAC commissioners, and security guards, a total of more than a dozen people, were all smashed into pieces, with their faces covered in blood.
They were squeezed into the car with miserable expressions on their faces. They opened the door with all their strength and tried to climb out of the car.
Except for the damage to the front of the reverse-pipe tank truck, the vehicle did not suffer any serious damage.
It's just that red diesel oil is constantly leaking from the side of the tanker, as if there are several specially prepared holes on the side of the tanker. A big impact will cause it to crack, causing the red oil in the tank to pour to the ground.
Soon, red oil covered the intersection, penetrated under the cars, and surrounded all five cars in the middle.
The amount of fuel in the tank must have been calculated, and after extending five or six meters, including five vehicles, the tank was emptied, and it didn't even overfill the intersection.
"go to hell."
"A bunch of people are rushing into the street." A man in a T-shirt pushed open the car door, jumped out, cursed with a smart expression, raised his arms and ran forward wildly.
"Xixixixixiaojiu..." Yan Guoliang was wearing a seat belt, tilting his head, his head covered with blood, and spat out a name.
His expression was extremely miserable, blood bubbles were continuously coming out of the corners of his mouth, and an iron frame of the car frame was inserted into his thigh, and his consciousness suddenly became trance-like.
He didn't know if he had recognized the wrong person, but he really felt like he couldn't exert his energy and couldn't breathe.
In the 1960s, in order to support the development of trade on Hong Kong Island, the United Kingdom specially approved low-price diesel for use by trading ships.
The gangster society focuses on the price difference of low-priced diesel, bribes diesel companies, and steals and sells low-priced diesel to the inland and coastal areas. It not only makes huge profits from this, but also supports the development of inland industries.
This has resulted in the availability of low-priced diesel to coastal industries in the interior, greatly reducing industrial costs and making a huge economic contribution to the development of Guangdong, Fujian and other places.
You must know that at that time, the mainland was experiencing an economic blockade, low prices for diesel and even important supplies. This was a patriotic act. This smuggling activity did not die out until after the return, and this was when it officially became extremely rampant.
In order to put an end to this kind of smuggling of low-priced diesel, the British government used chemicals to turn the low-priced diesel into a special red color, and then let the customs and police hunt for it.
Therefore, the low-priced smuggled oil on Hong Kong Island has a special name - red oil.
This is a piece of history, a special name left behind by a story.
"boom!"
Causeway Bay Crossroads.
A burst of fire suddenly burst out, and the four cars flew directly on the spot. With the huge fire, they rushed into the sky and then fell to the ground again.
Violent air waves swept through the Causeway Bay intersection. Citizens on the sidewalk next to the intersection all crawled to the bottom of their bodies, and their hair and clothes were lifted up by the air waves, layer upon layer, like a surge.
"Poof!"
When the four cars landed again, the frames and shells had already been burned to black coke, and everyone in the cars had lost limbs and arms. The vehicle parts were scattered on the intersection and zebra crossing.
On June 14, 1974, a smuggled red oil truck exploded at an intersection in Causeway Bay, killing four cars and fourteen people. All the dead were civil servants of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, including the then ICAC Commissioner, the first ICAC Commissioner.
"Yan Guoliang".
In addition, no passers-by were injured or killed. Causeway Bay detective "Cai Yuanqi" arrived at the scene within two minutes and arrested the criminal "Huo Qingsong" who was driving.
The whole Hong Kong was shocked for a moment!
The ICAC is in chaos!
"cut!"
When Huo Qingsong was sitting in the sugar water ice room and was arrested by Cai Yuanqi, he only had a cigarette in his mouth and a disdainful sneer on his face.
At this time, Huo Qingsong was just an ordinary driver of a red oil smuggling company, but when he is released from prison, he will be a new generation of red oil smuggling king.
"Boy."
"You are so shy."
"I almost want to praise you."
Cai Yuanqi patted Huo Qingsong's shoulder, lowered his head and whispered twice, then waved his hand and shouted: "Take away this street boy who can't drive!"
"Fortunately, no passers-by were hurt this time! What if someone is really hurt!"
