FOE Family First Chapter 37 Canada!
"No, of course not. Strictly speaking, on the night that Mr. Thomas died, we were preparing to do business according to the plan made by my father. We bought cigarettes from the processing ship and shipped them back to Warwick. Mr. Wilson's truck would be waiting at the dock to load the goods, and then he would drive the cigarettes to New York. He had a relative who ran a grocery store in New York, and he wanted to try to sell them..."
"Is this your fucking plan?" Tommy Hawke stared and blurted out, "The police can solve the case even if they send out a team of blind people!"
Tony nodded. "That's how it was. I know it was a little hasty, but remember, you showed up and told me your plan. I was supposed to go out to sea with Dad that night, but when I learned that you were secretly planning this kind of business and needed my help, I had to tell Dad. After all, I can't split myself. Dad decided to suspend the plan to go out to sea that night because he thought your idea was better. Then he held a meeting and scolded his partners for not thinking of selling in Canada where the prices are higher."
"Partners? How many?" Tommy Hawke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father had suspended the smuggling plan, but then his expression froze again and his eyes became dull.
"Yes, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Green, Mr. Maureen, Mr. Thomas and Ashley's father Mr. Hull... and Mr. Wadman, the boat driver. He doesn't want any compensation, but decided to use the money to start a business together." Tony smacked his lips and mentioned a few names that Tommy Hawke was familiar with. They were all poor co-workers of his father who had lost their jobs together, and the guys who had smashed the laundry with him.
Tommy said with a look of despair in his eyes, "What did I say? He couldn't have kept a secret... Wait, didn't Mr. Thomas blow his dog's and his own head off with a shotgun?"
"Ruby said she could help Mr. Thomas sell his kidney or some other organ for a good price. Mr. Thomas also hoped to make a final profit to leave for his wife and children, so he decided to use his own organs as a shareholder. Mr. Thomas is considered a major shareholder, and Ruby advanced 20,000 yuan for him." Tony exhaled a puff of smoke toward the sea and said with a sigh.
"Then what?"
"Then you knew. They were also waiting for news from me in Portland and Yarmouth. When they learned that they could make more money in Canada, of course they loaded the goods and brought them to Canada. The only difference is that you are trading on the high seas. After Dad and the others heard my introduction to the prices in Canada, they decided to go deep into the Gulf of Maine and head straight to St. John's. The tobacco dealers there agreed to pay $330 per box if the goods were shipped to the designated dock in St. John's." Tony looked at Tommy and spoke.
Tommy shook his head irritably and looked at the dark night sky around him. "So, Mr. Waldman called me this morning and said he had taken the KKS away, leaving only the DTF for me. They left before my ship, so they have already entered Canadian territorial waters and are about to arrive in St. John's?"
"After I didn't convince you, but you convinced me, I immediately hung up and wanted to contact Dad, but when I called, the bartender Keane said they had left. I have contacted them countless times here using the radio, but there has been no response, which means they are not in this area. Either they haven't arrived yet, or they have entered the Gulf of Maine. Of course, the latter is more likely." Tony sighed, but then patted Tommy on the shoulder:
"Maybe it won't be as bad as you think, maybe tomorrow morning they'll come home with cash and everyone will be smiling."
"Keep contacting them. I hope they can return with the money and receive our signal." Tommy lowered his head tiredly and said weakly.
Tony patted his shoulder again and said very seriously: "Dad will be fine. Mom will bless him. Mom will also watch over us in heaven."
After saying that, Tony walked towards the cockpit of the Italian fishing boat and continued to try to contact his father according to Tommy's instructions.
Tommy flicked the cigarette butt into the sea, turned around and returned to his fishing boat to help Melonie carry the cigarettes. On the left side of the Italian fishing boat, a searchlight suddenly lit up on the dark sea. A medium-sized fishing boat appeared like a hunter approaching quietly. Tommy straightened up and looked at the fishing boat not far away. The loudspeaker on the other fishing boat had already sounded:
"Good evening, your small business is doing well. This is the Augusta. Today is terrible. All the fish in the sea have been scooped up by you Americans. The 200-meter fishing net only caught less than two tons of fish. The only luck is that I met you. I have been staring at the broken ship waiting for several hours. I know what you are doing. According to the law promulgated by the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, as long as I turn on the radio now and report your location to the Coast Guard Anti-Smuggling Team, and the anti-smuggling team catches you, I can get a justice reward of one thousand Canadian dollars. After talking for so long, you should know what I want to do. Either pay me two thousand dollars, or you two broken ships can wait for the anti-smuggling team to come and hit your butts!"
Melonie and the three Italians were a little panicked. Melonie immediately picked up the harpoon that had been thrown away. Tommy Hawke exhaled: "Keep unloading, don't stop, I'll talk to him."
Tommy Hawke walked into the cockpit and turned on the loudspeaker of his fishing boat: "Mr. Justice, I hope you understand that this is the high seas and Canada has no control over this."
"I know, but I can ram your butts until you break down, and then I can drag you into Canadian territorial waters under the pretext of rescue. You can tell from the size of my Augusta that it can do it." The fishing boat quickly responded with a cocky and complacent laugh, "So, slowly adjust the direction, and each person will deliver 2,000 yuan, or you can wait for the two broken boats and all of you to be taken away by the anti-smuggling team."
"OK, sir, your small business is doing really well, great, no problem, two thousand dollars, I'll pay." Tommy Hawke tried to calm himself, then agreed.
"Don't give this bastard a penny! Brother! That's our hard-earned money!" Tony also turned on the loudspeaker on another boat and shouted angrily.
"Wow, someone seems very unwilling~~"
"Don't make trouble, brother. I'll pay, and that's the end of it. Don't make trouble." Tommy Hawke said calmly.
The loudspeaker on the opposite fishing boat said: "Wise choice, bitch America, you robbed Canadians of their fish, their land, and their wealth. I am only giving you a little punishment to let you know that this is Canada!"
Tommy Hawke sighed, turned around with tired steps, and prepared to spend money to solve this emergency. But before he walked out of the cockpit, a swear word came from the loudspeaker outside:
"Fuck You, Canada!"
But it wasn't Tony's voice.
"Who Are You!" The fishing boat on the other side also apparently heard the sudden voice and asked nervously, "I'll call the police right away!"
Behind Tommy Hawke's fishing boat, two powerful searchlights suddenly lit up, and Mr. Rocco Vardman's beloved KickAss was revealed from dozens of meters away. Colin Hawke's voice rang out from the loudspeaker:
"This is the son of a bitch, America, Canada, stick your ass out, I'm coming to fuck you."
