Multiple hit men charged in China after they kept subcontracting the hit

[zma1013]

This is like a Guy Ritchie film but in real life.

 

[Shy]

Nobody has sense of professionalism these days.

 

[Loan Wolf]

China gonna China

 

[Teenage Fansub]

I'm confused - what were they all jailed for? Nobody even attempted to murder anyone.

I dunno how it applies in China, but

If you wanted things right, you do it yourself. Clearly nobody wanted to do it right.

 

[EchoChamber]

Oh God hit men sucks these days.

 

[Chris McQueen]

Already posted, OP.

 

[aisback]

This did make me laugh.
I wonder how deep it goes

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Need a comedy about this. Keep subcontracting until it's like $5.

[smurfx]

damn they even make counterfeit hit men in china.

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Whatever happened to professional ethics?

 

[sfedai0]

In China, you order up a hitman like you order some takeout food.

 

[Poltergust]

What's concerning about this is how the hitmen knew each other.

Like, is there a whole network of these guys that society doesn't know about? That's legitimately frightening.

 

[nitewulf]

This is like a Russian doll scenario in a Chinese context. A late 90's Guy Ritchie movie with Jason Stratham, a lovable rogue in too deep.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The final hitman was going to be payed just 5% the original price. Trickle down economics.

Also,

Ling also got cold feet. But rather than killing Wei or finding another supposed hitman, he met with the intended target directly -- and offered to help fake his death.

Wei agreed to let Ling take some photos of him tied-up in an attempt to stage the murder.

Ling later reported his "success" up the chain, all the way to Tan -- the original contractor.

Wei meanwhile also reported the case to the police, who charged Tan and the five middlemen for intentional homicide.

You get what you pay for.

I realize this is odd to say, but shout to ALL of those hitmen. Almost a good scam.

Yeah that is pretty crazy. You'd think you wouldn't want to know anyone that does the same thing as you so they can't rat you out.

Dude, this right here is plot to a great comedy.

 

[Stay Up Be Easy]

Alright, this needs to be a movie

Click to shrink...

this has comedy drama written all over it, Ryan Reynolds should totally make it in to a movie... lol

Click to shrink...

I want a movie of this

Click to shrink...

Sort of.

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Netflix miniseries written all over it.

 

[SecondNature]

The guy that made Parasite should make this movie

 

[Titik]

This is some Hunter X Hunter shit. Assassins hiring assassins. LOL

 

[Deleted member 29660]

This is comical.

 

[Addi]

Didn't this happen in Too Old to Die Young? (minus the telling the target about it and faking their death, lol)

Yes! I was gonna bring it up as well. That's more or less how it played out and was one of the better parts of the show.

 

[Ash735]

I guess they should've called 47.

Conspiracy to murder most likely.

lol as I read the story i was thinking this, I would have loved to see Jesus reaction if the last guy did what Ling did.

 

[AdmiralAdmiral]

Going to be a great movie, lol. It's hard to believe this isn't fiction.

 

[Tuorom]

I got really confused when Yang Kangsheng outsourced to Yang Guangsheng. I had to read that a couple times.

 

[Deleted member 46948]

This is exactly what most localization jobs look like, btw (without the murders, obviously).

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

This story is incredible. If the underlying subject wasn't so macabre this would be hilarious.

 

[Afrikan]

reminds me of a Rick and Morty episode, just not involving money.....or assassinations.

 

[More_Badass]

Someone could make this into an absurd dark crime-comedy

 

[Serpico99]

This happened in that Refn show on Amazon

Was trying to remember wear I saw this.

Were they even real hitmen? It's weird that they were getting cold feet when it was their job.

Ang Lee's like, "Damn, this is the hitman film I should've made!"

It's like a really bad game of hitman telephone.

 

[Satori]

Omg I feel bad for laughing but holy shit me and my wife are in tears reading this.

 

[Saturday]

Now see what I'm getting is that after halving the price 5 times the first hitman could have easily lowballed his asking price when subcontracting the second fella

I mean.. still wouldnt work out but yknow

 

[Qvoth]

hahaha this is incredible, please make a movie out of this
