Chapter 166 Everyone Must Die

On the streets of Baghdad, fighting breaks out without hesitation, and such things can't even be reported on the local news. As for wanting to be known to the whole world, it would be unless Baghdad becomes a district in New York.

However, probably, even if Baghdad moves to New York, a gunfight with a few people killed still won't make the news.

Gao Guang is actually used to the sudden occurrence of gunfights, but the combination of machine guns, rocket launchers and grenades can still make him feel scared.

Fortunately, after Ali took a detour, no gunshots were heard along the way. The original half-hour drive took 55 minutes.

Gao Guang didn't know where he was exactly, because Musa and Ali definitely didn't speak English when they reported the place name.

This language barrier is really troublesome, very troublesome, until Ali stopped the car, Gao Guang knew that he had arrived.

Musa was about to get off the car, Gao Guang grabbed Musa and said, "What is this place?"

"This is where the Kurds meet in Baghdad. Kurds from various countries come here to meet, and my uncle often comes here too."

"Is there any danger?"

"It shouldn't be dangerous. I came here today just to try to collect some donations. The situation of Iraqi Kurds is relatively the best now. They control oil in the territory, so black market transactions, arms transactions, and a series of legal or illegal transactions are all carried out here. Some Kurdish bosses also come here often."

Gao Guang was very surprised and said, "This kind of place sounds very dangerous. How can there be no danger?"

Musa spread his hands and said, "Now is not the time for internal strife, so nothing will happen. In addition, with your identity and my identity, who dares to do anything to us? I don't sell arms or smuggle oil. In short, we are here to ask for money. If they are willing to give, they can give. If they are not willing, forget it. Why do they have to kill us? "

Gao Guang felt that since Moussa's epiphany, his mind seemed to have opened up, but why did he feel that he was still not smart enough now, so he whispered: "You won't tell everyone about your theory? Please, if everyone knows your route, what are you hiding?"

Musa smiled and said: "Of course I won't tell everyone, I will only tell the leaders of each faction, don't worry, this kind of shouting for peace, but actually wanting..."

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, sorry to interrupt. "

Ali suddenly looked helpless He interrupted Musa and said in a pleading tone: "If you want to tell some secrets, can you not tell them in the car? I mean, don't tell them in front of me. I really don't want to know too many secrets and be silenced. I have two wives and five children to support, and I want to marry another wife, so I really don't want to know too many secrets." Gao Guang looked at Ali in surprise, because he was surprised that Ali had two wives, but Musa was not so surprised. He just said calmly: "You are too careful. Please rest assured that we will not kill you to silence you. There is no need." "If I were not careful enough, I would not be alive until now. Please, bosses, please keep it confidential. Some things are better said in private. Please, thank you." Musa spread his hands. hand, looked at Gao Guang and said: "I don't think there is any danger, and coming here is indeed the most convenient and direct way." Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "I don't speak the language here, you know this, when you speak the local language, I have no idea what you are talking about, and whether you are talking normally or quarreling, uh, it looks like a quarrel, so if you and someone break down, or you are threatened, then you should find a way to let me know, English is not okay, there are still quite a lot of people who can speak English here, Spanish, if there is anything more dangerous, you tell me in Spanish." Musa nodded and said: "What if there is no time to say it, for example, the other party is about to take action, and it will be too slow for me to speak and explain." "I thought of this situation a long time ago, sign language, you use a special gesture to notify me, I will take action as soon as I see it, strike first, don't wait for the other party to take action before I fight back. ”

After that, Gao Guang raised his middle finger and said, "This gesture is usually not used. If you raise your middle finger to someone, I will shoot him immediately. If you raise the middle fingers of both hands, everyone will die. This is the most critical situation, so don't use it randomly. ”

Musa said blankly: "Everyone will die? Are you sure? What if there are many people?"

"Then you have to do it first. Even if you die, don't provoke others easily. What I mean is that if you are sure that someone wants to kill us, use gestures to distinguish whether to kill one or everyone. This is the most urgent situation. If the situation is not so urgent, why don't you explain it to me clearly. ”

"Understood, let's get off the car."

Gao Guang said again: "Wait, I'm really not familiar with this place, so I can only bring a pistol, or can I bring a rifle? Bringing a rifle can better deter them. ”

"Uh, well, I haven't seen anyone bring a rifle in before, so I shouldn't bring a rifle. Only the boss has two machine guns here. Yes, you can't bring a rifle in. "

Gao Guang pointed to the building they were about to enter and said, "So what kind of store is this?"

A two-story building, it looks very complete on the outside. The sign at the door has no pattern, only words on the sign. The door is made of wood, and you can't see the inside at all, so Gao Guang has no idea what kind of place it is.

"This is a black tea shop, a place where people drink tea and chat. You will know it when you come in."

Musa tilted his head again and said: "There are a lot of people. Today is not a negotiation with people. It is just a stage for me to appear again. Don't be too nervous. Come on."

Finally getting out of the car, Musa pushed open the wooden door, followed closely by Gao Guang and walked in.

The room is very spacious, with more than a dozen small round tables, but there are also chairs placed around the room. There is a place similar to a bar, but the bar is not filled with wine, but copper kettles, each with a burning stove. The charcoal stove is surrounded by ceramic pots.

There are golden copper kettles everywhere, as well as large plates filled with dried fruits such as raisins and almonds, another large category of technical dairy products, and of course the indispensable white sugar.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather is still very hot, but the room is very cool. Two large air conditioners are blowing, and there are several ceiling fans blowing on the roof, so even though there is a stove in the room, But it's still much cooler than outside.

The reason why the room is not particularly cool is because there are at least twenty people here drinking tea and chatting. With more people, the temperature will naturally not be too low.

Gao Guang has drunk this kind of black tea twice. He has seen many tea stalls on the streets of Baghdad, but this is the first time he has seen black tea sold in a store.

It’s actually just a teahouse, but an Iraqi teahouse.

Musa sat at a round table and started to call the waiter. After chattering, four small plates were placed on Yuanzhuo, and soon two cups of steaming black tea were also placed on the table.

The black tea cup is very small, but it contains two tablespoons of sugar. People here eat too much sugar, and the sweetness cannot be tolerated.

"Kud tea, this is the tea of ​​the Kud people."

Musa looked very casual and comfortable. He stirred the cup with a spoon, and then looked around, as if he was looking for a target to deceive.

This kind of occasion can make people relax, but Gao Guang soon discovered that half of the people here paid no attention to him and Musa, but at least half of the people looked at him and Musa with complicated eyes.

To be precise, the looks he looked at Musa were complicated, ranging from disdain to contempt and sympathy. Gao Guang found that there were several people looking at Musa with extremely disgusted eyes, but fortunately, no one used hatred. looked at Musa.

But Musa seemed oblivious to the strange looks around him. After looking around relaxedly, he suddenly said: "Wait for me here, I'll go talk to someone."

Anyway, I couldn’t understand it from the past, so it would be better to just sit here. Gao Guang nodded and said, “Okay.”

There was only a small cup of black tea, and the cup was placed on a small saucer. Musa picked up the small saucer and walked to a table. There were only two people on that table, and they both looked like they were in their fifties or sixties.

Musa said hello with a smile on his face, but when the two people he greeted saw Musa walking towards them, their expressions changed drastically. Then the two people stood up in unison, looked at each other, and then both He walked quickly to the store door.

Before Musa could sit down, the two men passed by him and left without paying any attention to Musa's greetings.

Gao Guang covered his forehead with his hands, as if he couldn't see this scene.

It's so embarrassing, Musa has such a bad reputation.

Musa did not show any embarrassment, he turned his head to one side, and then he smiled at the person who occupied a table alone: ​​"Ah..."

The man turned around, but did not prevent Musa from walking to his side, so the man sitting alone stood up suddenly, looked at Musa with a look of disgust, and immediately walked away quickly and rushed out the door.

Musa finally laughed awkwardly, and then he stood there, as if he didn't know whether to continue chatting with someone or return to his position.

Let's save the day, Gao Guang said to Musa: "Well, can you teach me how to drink this tea."

You have to be taught how to drink water. Gao Guang felt that the reason he came up with was so weak and stupid. But as soon as Gao Guang finished speaking, Musa immediately walked back to him and said with a pleased look on his face: "I'll teach you. ”

Some people rushed out of the tea shop, while others pushed the door in. After five or six people filed in through the door of the tea shop, Musa, who had not yet sat down, suddenly became dazed. He tilted his hand and the tea cup he was holding fell to the ground and shattered.

There was a crisp sound, and the hot tea burned Musa's feet, which were only wearing slippers. He jumped up, and then he woke up as if from a dream. He suddenly raised two middle fingers at those who had just entered. He stammered: "Everyone...all...all must die!"
