Chapter 50 (1/2)
In the evening, on the remote road outside Golgi automobile factory, Youngor, one of gusinski's men, happily drinks wine while counting money in the co driver's seat of the truck. All these are earned by the upstarts who robbed the black market in recent days. Except for a small part of the money given to his men, the rest goes into his own pocket.
Yegor has been with gusinski for several years, but he can only get on with a small leader. The big business of gusinski has been operated by paovrusha. People of Yegor's level don't see gusinski at all on weekdays. They do whatever they are told to do. They will be rewarded with a small sum of money if they do it well. If they don't do it well, they will be punished. If you are caught by the police, you'd better keep your mouth in it. Otherwise, it is likely to become a cold corpse. It's almost never Yegor's turn to make money like this recently. Yegor really feels that his fortune has turned for the better. Those upstarts have been busy for a long time, but they still don't make money for me.
The more he thought about it, the more proud he was. He was thinking about where he would take his brothers to find a woman to have fun at night. A siren sounded from the front of the car. A police car was in the middle of the road, and two policemen were standing behind the car. Yegor yelled that it was not good. When he was targeted by the police, he quickly hid the money under the car seat, and then asked the driver to pull over and stop. It should be too late to turn around. Besides, his scrapped truck could not run the police car.
The driver slowly stops the car not far from the police car. Yegor smiles at the police. He wants to make the two policemen think that they are just honest people. If they can muddle through, they will leave this right and wrong place.
Two policemen came slowly with beer bellies. They both put their hands on the handlebars around their waists. One of them pointed to the driver and said, ”put your hands where I can see them and pull out the key. Otherwise, don't blame me for the accident.”
The driver took a look at Yegor sitting in the co driver's seat. Yegor motioned the driver to do as the police said. The driver put out the engine, then pulled out the key and threw it on the ground. Two policemen went to both sides of the car door and signaled Yegor and the driver to open the door and get out of the car. Yegor has no gun, nothing but money, but there are some sticks and steel pipes in the car. After all, Yegor is only the thugs raised by gusinski. They have no human life on their hands, so they are not qualified to carry guns.
Several people sitting in the back of the car also came down one after another. Although there are many people on his side, Yegor will not be arrogant enough to beat the police, because it is a felony. Attacking the police will be regarded as an attack on the government and become a political problem.
”Officer, we are all good people. We just want to come out at night, nothing else!” Yegor hastened to explain, although they do not look like good people.
The two policemen didn't pay attention to Yegor's words at all. They looked back and forth at the group. They didn't look good, and they didn't know what they wanted to do. One of the policemen walked slowly to the back of the car and said in a cold and unquestionable voice, ”I think your taillights seem to be a little cracked.” With that, he took out his baton and smashed the taillight.
Another policeman said, ”there seems to be something wrong with the headlights, too!” Just after the words, the front lights of the truck were also broken. Then the policeman came up to Yegor and said coldly, ”it's illegal to drive such a car on the road. You have to go back with us.”
Now, no matter how stupid Yegor is, he knows that these two policemen are deliberately finding fault. He can't control his anger. He glares at the policeman who has been humiliating himself and says angrily, ”officer, you know, there are twelve of us, but there are only two of you.”
