When Liu Gen arrived in Kunming, the police had already set up checkpoints at the Kunming train station, long-distance bus station and various intersections entering and exiting Kunming, and posted wanted photos of Ren Jiaju everywhere. The police were ready.
But Ren Jiaju did not arrive in Kunming.
He took a detour, from Guiyang to Zunyi, and then from Zunyi to Chongqing. He passed through Chengdu without stopping, and went directly to Panzhihua. From Panzhihua, he passed through Binchuan County in Dali and went directly to a small village in the suburbs of Yangbi that he had made an appointment with the youngest.
Liu Gen did not stop in Kunming, but flew directly to Mangshi, then took the airport bus and arrived in Ruili that evening.
The Armed Police Border Detachment guarding the border has already received orders to prevent fugitive Ren Jiaju from escaping abroad, and has stepped up patrols and checkpoint checks at the border.
Liu Gen did not find a hotel to stay, but took a taxi to the border defense detachment. He needed to know the national border and the routes frequently taken by drug traffickers, and no one knew it better than the border defense detachment.
"I want to see your leader on duty." Liu Gen was stopped by the sentry at the door of the detachment headquarters.
Of course, the sentry will not let Liu Gen in easily.
But Liu Gen said that he was from the National Security Bureau and had an important task that he needed to report to the detachment leader in person. The sentry called the leader on duty with some doubts. After getting permission, a sentry personally took Liu Gen to the duty room.
The person who received Liu Gen was a lieutenant colonel and deputy detachment leader in his forties. He spoke with a Yunnan accent. He was a bit dark but very capable, unlike those fat-headed and pampered officers.
Yanagi told the lieutenant colonel his special agent number. Soon, he contacted the superiors through the confidential room and confirmed Yanagi's identity.
This is the privilege that Liu Gen received after joining the secret service. No matter where he goes, as long as he reports his secret number to the local military or police leaders, the other party will promptly verify his identity.
"What do you need us to do for you?" the lieutenant colonel officer asked after reading a document sent from the confidential room to verify Liu Gen's identity.
"I want to know the Ruili border defenses and the geographical location where drug traffickers often enter and exit the border." Liu Gen knew very well what would happen if the other party knew that he was not on official business but acting privately, but he had to risk being detained.
, get what you need before leaving.
"When it comes to border defense, I have to ask my superiors for instructions." The lieutenant colonel answered very cautiously.
"Then please hurry up and ask for instructions. If the person I arrest runs out of the country during the time you ask for instructions, you must bear full responsibility!" Liu Gen did not say who he wanted to arrest. He had the right to remain silent. The other party learned that he was an agent.
I didn't ask too many questions that I shouldn't know.
The lieutenant colonel called the detachment leader and reported Liu Gen's situation. Soon, two colonel officers arrived in the duty room. After being introduced by the lieutenant colonel, Liu Gen learned that one of the two men who came was the detachment leader and the other was the political commissar of the detachment.
The two of them seemed to dare not be careless. It was related to the secret operation of the agents, and they thought that the person Liu Gen wanted to arrest was very important.
Yanagi had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to the lieutenant colonel.
The detachment leader and the political commissar bit their ears and whispered for a while, and then the political commissar said: "Please come with us."
Liu Gen followed the two chief officers of the border defense detachment to a large room with a sand table. The detachment leader picked up a laser pointer next to the sand table and began to introduce to Liu Gen the deployment and checkpoints of the border defense detachment at the border.
"According to the confessions of drug traffickers we captured in the past, drug trafficking mainly transports drugs from Myanmar across the border in the following places." The detachment leader pointed to a river and said: "This is the Ruili River. On the river, there are three rivers within the scope of our detachment's defense area.
There are road bridges, two of which are highway bridges, and the other is a pedestrian bridge. Ordinary drug dealers, that is, those who carry small amounts, enter through these three bridges..."
"What I want to know is the route used by big drug lords to transport drugs." Liu Gen interrupted the detachment leader. He believed that it was impossible for Ren Jiaju to walk out from these three bridges. There must be a secret crossing place where Ren Xiaoyao dealt in drugs.
For so many years, this drug transportation route in Yunnan has always remained open, which shows that the person who transported drugs for him has opened a safe and secret channel. Otherwise, how could he have not been caught for so many years.
"That is smuggling across the Ruili River. We have intercepted a large amount of drugs entering the river many times, but there are still many that have not been intercepted. Drug traffickers generally choose to operate at night, and in river sections with dense mountains and forests. Although we have
There are patrol boats on the water and constant patrols on the river banks, but drug traffickers still took advantage of the loopholes..." The detachment leader patiently and honestly provided Liu Gen with the information he knew in great detail.
"Where is the section of the river where you have the weakest defense?" Liu Gen asked again.
"Here." The detachment leader pointed at the section with steep cliffs on both sides of the river with a laser pointer and said: "This place is called Juedu, which means that there is no ferry here, and there are no human traces on both sides. If you want to transport drugs from this place,
, Unless they can fly, we have never caught a drug dealer here, and there is not even a trace of anyone there."
"Juedu..." Liu Gen thought to himself, if he was selling drugs, this would be the best place to transport drugs. No matter how dangerous it is, as long as he is a human being, he will always find a solution.
"I need a military field sleeping bag, a dagger and a pair of binoculars." Liu Gen knew where he should wait for Ren Jiaju.
"Don't you need us to send people to act with you?" the detachment leader looked at Liu Gen in shock and asked.
"I can do it alone. If there are more people, the target will be too big and it will easily arouse the other party's vigilance." Liu Gen replied.
After Liu Gen got the equipment he wanted, he left the detachment headquarters and stayed in a small hotel as a tourist. Early the next morning, he asked for directions to Juedu and took a bus for more than 20 kilometers.
Went to a relatively large village, bought enough dry food for three days, hired a tractor, and went to the foot of Juedu Mountain on the Jiang'an border.
The mountains here are high and densely forested, and there are almost no paths up the mountain, but this does not bother Liu Gen. Before sunset, he climbed to the top of the river bank and looked at the other side with a telescope. From the distance measurement of the telescope, Liu Gen knew that the closest distance between the two banks was
One hundred and twenty-five meters, the river below the mountain is so fast that it is really impossible to ferry.
How did the drug dealers who sent Ren Xiaoyao use to send him there? How did they transport the drugs from the other side?
Liu Gen was thinking in his mind and looking around on the top of the mountain. There was indeed no trace that anyone had been here. When he reached the halfway point of the cliff, where there were several huge pine trees growing that were difficult for one person to surround, he finally made a discovery.
Use the telescope to look at the pine trees halfway up the mountain below, and you can see that there are circles of strangulation marks on the trunks covered by the pine branches and leaves. Then, use the telescope to look at the cliff on the opposite side. There are also two huge pine trees halfway up the mountain.
"That's it." Liu Gen smiled. If crossing couldn't be done, he could fly across.
Liugen looked at the shaky sunset and decided to go below to have a look. However, he searched all the places and could not get down to where the pine trees grew.
It was getting dark, and Liu Gen hadn't found a place to climb down the cliff, so he had to look for a place to spend the night.
There are almost no trees on the top of the mountain, only bushes as tall as a person. If you just spend the night in the bushes, you are likely to attract wild beasts. You must find a place like a cave, so that even if a wild beast comes in from the cave entrance
, don’t worry about the rear and left and right sides, just concentrate on dealing with the attacking beasts from the front.
There was definitely no cave at the top of the mountain, so Liu Gen walked down the mountain behind. It was very steep, and he almost had to use both hands and feet to climb down. When he climbed dozens of meters down from the top of the mountain, he finally saw a
The entrance of the cave was covered by shrubs. If you didn't come down from above, no one would be able to find this cave.
Liugen decided to spend the night in the cave. Since the cave was between steep rocks, it was unlikely that wild animals would come here easily.
Liu Gen didn't bring a flashlight, and it was pitch dark inside. The further inside, the wider it felt, and he could feel the cool breeze blowing from the opposite side.
Could it be that this cave is connected to the cliff?
Liu Gen recalled the pine trees he saw growing on the cliff halfway up the mountain. Their approximate location should be similar to the cave, so he continued walking forward in the dark without stopping.
Liu Gen, who had received darkness adaptation training, quickly adapted his eyes to the dark cave, and could vaguely see the rocks under his feet. Although he walked slowly, he moved forward step by step. After more than half an hour, his eyes,
Finally, I saw a sliver of moonlight coming from the opposite side, and the mountain breeze I felt became stronger.
After walking out of the cave, Liu Gen finally understood that the cave was halfway up the cliff. Those pine trees with lush branches and leaves that were difficult to surround by one person actually grew on a platform less than two meters wide at the entrance of the cave.
"Ren Jiaju, I'll wait for you here!" Liu Gen murmured. He knew that this was a gamble. If the drug dealer who sent Ren Jiaju out of the country did not intend to expose his drug trafficking route and did not bring Ren Jiaju here, then he would
The bet was lost, but he believed that even if Ren Jiaju did not cross the border here, he would have difficulty evading the border checkpoint if he came from other places.
Liu Gen felt a little chilly, so he lay down in his sleeping bag, put the dagger next to his head, and took out his cell phone to check. There was no signal. In order to save power, he simply turned off the phone.
He was so tired that day that he fell asleep quickly.
It was just dawn that day when Willow Gen was awakened by the sound of a bird on the pine tree. It was a thrush. Its call was melodious and sweet, as if it was competing with the birds on the pine tree halfway up the mountain on the other side of the river.
The willow root got out of the sleeping bag and walked to the root of the pine tree. The morning erection in the embrace of nature gave him a sense of indulgent freedom. He took it out and shot the urine down the cliff. He looked up at the treetops and saw several
Birds were jumping happily on the branches and chirping. The thrush that had chirped happily just now seemed to have noticed that the willow roots under the tree had already flown away and changed places to continue chirping.
The mountain breeze made Liu Gen feel the coolness and comfort where he peed.
After urinating, Liugen climbed up to the largest tree and checked the rope marks. These were not the marks left by ordinary ropes, but the kind of thick hemp rope used in tug-of-war, which can withstand the force of thousands of kilograms.
.
Liugen sat on a tree and looked at the pine trees on the other side with his binoculars. The measured distance was less than a hundred meters, which made him more certain that this was a secret place where drug traffickers flew across the Ruili River to transport drugs.
