Chapter 1666 1668 [The beast always walks alone]
?A large number of memories flooded into Xiang Nan''s mind. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he found that he was squatting on the beach, all his clothes were wet, and he was shivering from the cold when the sea breeze blew.
Xiang Nan looked around and saw a capsized cargo ship behind him. There were nearly a hundred people squatting around, both men and women, all soaked to the skin and pale with the cold.
Xiang Nan knew that all these people were stowaways. Because when the cargo ship sailed to Wakasa Bay, the wind was strong and the waves were high, and it accidentally hit the rocks. These people managed to escape from the ship. There are still countless people who have been swept into the deep sea by wind and waves, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
Xiang Nan couldn''t help but feel a little emotional when he saw this.
In the 1990s, Japan''s economy was much more developed than that of the mainland. Here, even a stowaway can earn 8,000 yen a day, which is about 240 yuan based on the exchange rate.
Comparatively, in 1992, the national average monthly salary was only 200 yuan. In other words, after smuggling to Japan, one day''s income is comparable to one month''s income in the mainland. This is why so many people are willing to spend huge sums of money and take risks to sneak into Japan.
?It’s just that before their dream of getting rich came true, people were already buried in the belly of the fish, which is really pitiful and deplorable.
…
?At this moment, a Japanese police officer was riding a bicycle on routine patrol along the seawall.
Soon, he discovered the capsized cargo ship in the sea and the stowaways surviving on the beach.
?The police officer was so shocked that he could no longer ride the car safely.
In his career, he had never seen such a tragic scene.
??He quickly stopped the car, staggered to the beach, carefully put his hand on the holster of his gun, and then mustered up the courage to shout loudly, "Don''t move! I''m a police officer!"
Seeing the arrival of the police, people couldn''t help but panic.
Because they know that once caught by the police, they will only be deported.
?As a result, the tens of thousands of yuan they paid for smuggling were in vain. That is naturally not possible.
?Just as they were panicking, two smugglers in the crowd suddenly took out daggers from their bodies and rushed towards the police officers.
?Just as the police officer was about to draw his gun, he was knocked down by two people together, and then the three of them struggled together.
During the scuffle, the gun accidentally discharged. As soon as a gunshot was heard, the crowd suddenly panicked.
“Run, run!” The smuggler forced the police officer with a knife and shouted to the crowd.
Although he spoke in Japanese, most people had no idea what he was talking about. But at this time, there is no one who doesn''t understand the importance of escape.
At that moment, people began to flee crazily.
Xiang Nan was also mixed in the crowd, but he was smarter. Instead of running with the crowd, he ran and turned.
Because he knew that illegal immigrants were the targets of the police''s attention. If a large group of people acts together, it is difficult to hide it from others. By then, people will be able to catch them all in one fell swoop.
So, if you want to escape, you must act alone.
In response to that sentence, cattle and sheep only need to form a team, while wild beasts always walk alone.
…
?The place where the freighter capsized was in Wakasa Bay, located in Wakasa Town, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
?This town has a long history and rich products. It is a famous fishing village.
After Xiang Nan ran into the town, he relied on his own skills to sneak into the villagers'' homes and stole a few pieces of clothing so that he could change out of the wet clothes. Afterwards, he took a bath, cooked a meal, and dressed himself neatly. No one could imagine that such a decent person could be a stowaway.
?During the meal, Xiang Nan also turned on the TV and watched the news.
As I saw in the news, there were already reports about the capsizing of the stowaway boat. Moreover, some smugglers who escaped have been caught by the police.
?This made Xiang Nan even more fortunate that he did not run with the brigade. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat leisurely now that he has been arrested.
After finishing the meal, Xiang Nan put away the bowls and chopsticks and removed all traces before Shi Shiran left. Arrive at the station and prepare to take the train to Tokyo.
I have to say that in the 1990s, Japan was really much more developed than the mainland.
In the early 1990s, not every household in the mainland had a TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, or washing machine. But these are almost standard equipment in Japan.
Furthermore, in the early 1990s, no one was selling tickets. The introduction of unmanned ticket sales in the Mainland will probably be after 2010.
Purchased a ticket to Tokyo, Xiang Nan then took the Tokaido Shinkansen all the way to Tokyo.
…
The journey was uneventful.
Because Xiang Nan is well-dressed and speaks Japanese very fluently, no one will know that he is a stowaway.
After more than two hours of journey, Xiang Nan successfully arrived in Tokyo.
?However, he did not go to Ajie immediately.
On the one hand, Ajie’s current situation is not very good. He earns money by doing illegal work. Not only is he dirty and tired, but he also has to worry about being caught by the police. He lives in fear. If he goes to Ajie now, it will only bring a burden to Ajie.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan has no interest in illegal work. This job is dirty, tiring, and doesn''t make much money. It''s not something people like him should do.
Furthermore, human nature hates poverty and loves wealth. Although Ajie is from his hometown, he is still willing to call him big brother. But the eldest brother is also different from the eldest brother. If Xiang Nan managed to get ahead first and then went to see Ajie, he would definitely be more respected than if he went to him in disgrace now.
?That''s why Xiang Nan didn''t go to Ajie immediately. He planned to get the first pot of gold first. But for him, this shouldn''t be too simple.
Xiang Nan only walked around Tokyo Station and touched a dozen wallets. Each wallet contained hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen, which allowed him to quickly save a million yen, equivalent to Ajie''s half-year income.
In the early 1990s, the Japanese economy was in a golden age, with a prosperous economy and abundant resources and people. The average annual income of the people was 6.5 million yen. And because the economy has been growing rapidly, people are very willing to spend money.
?Taking a taxi on the street, just wave a 10,000 yen bill; when going to a bar to spend money, order whatever wine is more expensive, such as Louis XIII, Remy Martin, Hennessy, and you will even be laughed at if you only order sake.
Even when girls fall in love, they have three boyfriends. One is responsible for paying the bus fare, one is responsible for paying for meals, and one is responsible for shopping.
Because of this, everyone has money in their wallets.
Xiang Nan''s stealing skills were gifted from Wang Bo and were already very high. In addition, he was successful in martial arts and was very agile, so it was easier to steal.
??Moreover, every time Xiang Nan stole the wallet, he took out the money and gave the wallet back. As a result, it is difficult for the victim to even realize that he has been stolen in the first place, and naturally it is even more impossible to catch him.
Xiang Nan spent three days and pocketed nearly ten million yen, and then went to see Ajie dressed neatly.
He took a car to Okubo 4-chome, Ajie’s residence, and then knocked on the door.
