The elder leader's expression at this moment made Mad Dog very happy. It was this expression that made him sneer.
"Idiot, I went to a prosthetic doctor to implant the locator into my body and tied it to my heart. Even if you scan it, you will only treat it as an implant that helps my heart."
The expressions of the others changed drastically when they heard this.
They looked at Mad Dog as if they were looking at a monster.
"Implanted into your own body? And tied to your heart?"
"Madman! What a madman!"
The elder leader's face was pale.
He knew that he had lost everything now.
I originally wanted to invite Mad Dog over, the purpose was to get rid of the only one who was still fanatical about Hector before taking action against Hector
The loyal Mad Dog.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to invite the wolf in.
Now that everyone has broken his reputation, the older leader simply stopped pretending.
He pointed at Hector and yelled angrily.
"Hector, don't blame us for opposing you. Ask yourself, are you not wrong at all? I am too lazy to mention the past things again. Let me ask you, haven't you considered the consequences of the terrorist attack in San Diego City? Why are you still doing this?"
Facing the older leader's angry rebuke, Hector said calmly.
"If I didn't send someone to blow up the San Diego City airport, the guys who took the hostages would have sent my son's murderer back to his father. I had no choice but to take this step."
The elder leader shouted hoarsely, "But this will make the entire Western States unite to deal with us, and other Mexico groups will not lend a helping hand to us, but will add insult to injury. Just for your own selfish desires, you will ignore the interests of the entire Salamanca Group. You are too selfish!"
Hector said, "Am I selfish? Maybe, then let me ask you a question, what would you do if you lost your only son? Tell me, let me hear your opinion."
The older leader sneered.
Unlike Hector, he has three sons and two daughters.
Even if a son dies, it doesn't matter.
So when he answered, he was very confident and upright.
"Dutch Vanderlinde, the famous gang leader in the West, once said - 'Revenge is too luxurious'. If it were me, I would not let everyone's interests be harmed for the sake of a mere son."
"Personal interests should give way to the interests of the group. This is what the boss of the group should do."
The older leader knew that Hector would not let him go, so he simply stopped pretending.
What he said was no different than pointing at Hector's nose and scolding him.
"Mr. Hector, Mr. Hector--"
At this time, Turbaned Leader was on his head, and he suddenly raised his hand and said respectfully.
The person he is now is completely different from the person he was before.
Where are the people who were clamoring before to cut Hector and Salamanca Group, to send Hector's head to San Diego City, to calm Californians?
"Hmm? You have something to say? Okay, then you can tell me."
Turbaned Leader received permission, nodding and bowing, like a dog with a broken spine that was constantly wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
"Mr. Hector, I think our top priority now is to deal with the impact of the San Diego City terrorist attack first."
"Oh?" Hector raised his eyebrows, as if he was interested, "Do you think it's possible for Californians to negotiate peace with us after all this?"
"Of course, of course."
Hector nodded. "Then tell me."
"Western States has always been at odds with New America. We can put the blame on New America."
Hector frowned.
"Well, this is indeed a way. Western States hates New America more than he hates us. But the question is, are they not fools? Will they believe it so easily?"
Turbaned Leader immediately said, "In addition to passing the blame, we also have to show sincerity. On the one hand, we will transfer some of our interests to Western States so that they can obtain substantial benefits; on the other hand, we will provide political donations to congressmen who are sympathetic to us to increase our allies."
"In short, try to prevent Western States's Supreme National Council from having more than half of the members who are malicious towards us. That will be considered a success."
Hector The fingers of his hands were intertwined, and a look of approval and satisfaction appeared on his face, which was as if carved with a knife and an axe.
"Well, your idea is good and it is indeed feasible."
Turbaned Leader looked happy and was about to ask Hector to spare his life.
As a result, he saw Hector, who suddenly took out a large-caliber revolver, and the black muzzle was aimed squarely at him.
His eyes suddenly shrank before he could ask for mercy.
Only a violent gunshot was heard.
Turbaned Leader A bright red blood flower bloomed on the chest, and the warm corpse fell backwards, tripped over the chair he was sitting on, and fell to the ground.
The other leaders, including the older leader, were startled, but before they could react, the thugs standing behind them took out their short knives, held them behind their backs and stabbed them in the chest.
For a moment, there were screams and the muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing the body.
"Your idea is indeed good, and I will adopt it, but I don't want to keep your life. You are such a smart person, and I dare not let you continue to live."
After parting ways with Jack, Su Xiao, V, and Lucy took another pickup truck and returned to San Diego City again.
In order not to attract attention, the three of them went to different clothing stores in the city and bought several sets of clothes that had obviously different appearances but could still be seen as worn by tourists.
In addition, Su Xiao does not intend to continue driving this Salamanca Group pickup truck and returns to Tijuana.
So I rented a yellow SUV again from the local car rental company San Diego City.
Su
Xiao drove the car out of the city. In the deserted wilderness, the three of them put on the clothes they bought in the city, hats and black sunglasses.
Dress up like a foreign tourist preparing to travel to Tijuana.
I drove to the border between California and Mexico again and found the smuggler. With the experience last time, I crossed the border more easily this time, entered Mexico, and arrived at Tijuana at noon.
After entering Tijuana this time, I can clearly feel that the atmosphere is different from last time.
Salamanca Group people are everywhere on the streets, and from time to time you can see Salamanca Group people driving pickup trucks whizzing past on the road.
When ordinary people saw people coming from Salamanca Group, they all hid far away, as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
Su Xiao The three of them parked their car outside a taco shop. After each ordering some food, they found a seat to sit down.
V first asked in the communication channel, "Su, now that we are back to Tijuana, what should we do?"
Su Xiao picked up a taco, took a bite and said, "First, we have to find out where Hector·Salamanca lives."
Lucy shook his head gently. "I checked on the Internet and found that there is a wealthy area in Tijuana, but all the people living there are Tijuana City Hall officials and military officers. No Salamanca Group people live there."
"It is impossible for Hector not to guess that Maria is dead, and he must have thought that we would come to Tijuana to cause trouble for him. Now the streets are full of people from Salamanca Group, which is a good illustration of this point."
"He wouldn't live in a wealthy area because that would be too conspicuous. He would probably have a house or a manor of his own, so that he could hide enough gunmen inside to protect him."
"Then the question is, what kind of place is suitable that can meet the above conditions?"
V spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Don't ask me, I don't know. Although I am also the son of Heywood, I am not a descendant of Mexico, nor was I born in Tijuana. By the way, Lucy, aren't you Netrunner? Can't you check it online?"
Lucy brushed the hair from his forehead behind his ears. "Didn't I tell you just now? He is not in a wealthy area and cannot be found at all."
"What should we do?" V asked a little discouraged.
But then, she looked at Su Xiao, who had been silent.
"Su, since you brought us back to Tijuana, you have something to do, right? Did Mr. Gonzalez give you the information? Or did you know Hector's residence from somewhere else?"
"Actually, I don't know either."
"You don't know? Then you still..."
"Don't worry," Su Xiao turned his head slightly to the side and made a suggestive movement. "Although we don't know, but if we ask someone who knows, we will know, right?"
The three Su Xiao sit like this: He sits alone on one side of the table, while V and Lucy sit on the other side of the table, which is opposite Su Xiao.
After Su Xiao made this suggestive action, V and Lucy subconsciously looked past Su Xiao to look behind him, at the table next to them.
Those were a few Salamanca Group gangsters, or to be more precise, a few low-level gangsters.
They arrived earlier than Su Xiao and others. From the moment they entered the taco shop, they could hear these low-level gangsters making a lot of noise.
They thought Su Xiao and others could not understand Spanish, but in fact all three of them had installed translation plug-ins for mainstream languages.
Therefore, I heard very clearly that one of the guys, who was regarded as the big brother by the other gangsters, had been bragging that he had a cousin who was working as a peripheral gunner in the manor of Hector Salamanca.
To put it bluntly, peripheral gunmen are cannon fodder. Don't look at movies where bodyguards protect their targets and take bullets.
In fact, when all the enemies are in front of the protected target, and personal bodyguards are needed to block the bullets, it actually means that all the peripheral gunmen are dead.
Peripheral shooters are poorly paid, have low status, and are often not treated as human beings.
But for this kind of low-level gangster, being able to work with the boss of Salamanca Group is already worth bragging to his friends.
"It's just them."
In fact, Su Xiao initially had other plans, more than one, to find out where Hector lived.
He changed his mind after he paid attention to the conversation between the gangsters at the next table.
Chapter 247: It's only a few hundred dollars a month, why are you playing with your life (3K)
Su Xiao winked at V and Lucy. The three of them finished their food quickly, got up and walked to the counter to pay.
The group of gangsters originally just glanced at Su Xiao and the others casually. Foreign tourists like Su Xiao and the others were very common in Tijuana, and they had long been used to it.
Because the top management of Salamanca Group strictly prohibits them from harassing foreign tourists (not out of conscience, but because they are afraid of affecting Tijuana's tourism industry).
So they didn't dare to do anything. At most, they just looked at them a few more times.
But just these few glances made them unable to look away anymore.
I saw Su Xiao took out a black leather wallet, which was not only filled with green Euro bills, but also filled with credit chips in the card slot of the wallet.
At least there are seven or eight pictures.
real life 2
In 2023, it cannot be said that electronic payment will completely replace cash, but it is true that few people will go out with wallets anymore.
But in this cyberpunk world of 2077, electronic payment can only be said to be a mainstream payment method, but it is not the only payment method.
It still hasn't replaced cash.
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, the security and confidentiality of electronic bank accounts still need to be strengthened, and on the other hand, it is caused by the public's distrust of electronic bank accounts.
After all, in this world, there are not many hackers who have infiltrated Cyberspace, and there are many examples of people who have worked hard, worked hard, worked hard, worked hard, and saved all their money, but their savings were completely stolen by hackers.
Even if the number of times is small, people are always afraid of what might happen. If this happens to them, why not become a trapeze artist?
Therefore, many people would rather use cash than use the more convenient electronic bank account.
In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, forces like Salamanca Group also use a lot of cash.
Because electronic bank accounts are controlled by the company, to put it bluntly, you are depositing money with others. If you have trouble with others, or they want to sanction you, the money will definitely be gone.
Although the companies that control electronic bank accounts all claim that they will remain absolutely neutral, just listen to these words. Whoever believes them is a big injustice.
Although cash has many advantages, its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is inconvenient.
If you need to use a large amount of cash, such as millions or tens of millions, you have to use many boxes to carry the money, which is even more inconvenient.
Therefore, credit chips came into being.
A credit chip can be simply understood as a USB flash drive, except that the USB flash drive contains money instead of files.
No password is required, just find a terminal and plug it in, and you can transfer the money in the credit chip to your electronic bank account.
Or transfer the money from your electronic bank account to the credit chip.
This thing is not connected to the Internet, and there is no way to connect to the Internet, so there is no need to worry about security and confidentiality. The only way to withdraw money from a credit chip is to find a terminal and plug it in.
Any other methods, including remote hacking, will not work.
