Hanwei Episode 1: Manhunt for those who have bought books, don’t read them
Xinxian County is a very small town. A roaring river flows around the city. The narrow roads close to the river bank are important transportation links.
At this time, a small funeral was being held in the crematorium here. The deceased was a middle-aged lady. Not many people came to the mourning hall to see her off. Most of them were relatives and friends of the deceased, and some government officials. Compared with them, the husband of the deceased was
It is very eye-catching because this gentle scholar-looking man is wearing the uniform of an army major general.
His name is Yuan Ling, he is forty-five years old and currently the deputy director of the 1071 Research Institute
Yuan Ling's wife had been his childhood sweetheart since childhood. In order to support his studies, she gave up further studies and worked part-time to earn money, making great sacrifices for him. After graduating from university, Yuan Ling worked at the 1071 Research Institute and soon married her.
The relationship has always been very good, but his wife's health has been exhausted and she has been bedridden for a long time in recent years. In order to take care of her more conveniently, he sent her back to his hometown. However, his wife suffered from acute myeloid leukemia.
A month later, he was caught off guard. At this moment, when he looked at his wife’s portrait, he couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.
People looked at his sad expression and sighed. The secretary of the county party committee, the county magistrate and other government officials came to shake hands with him and persuaded him to refrain from mourning and submit to change.
Yuan Ling then tried his best to calm down and asked his assistant to arrange the cremation. He fully demonstrated the quality of a general. He did not make any pomp according to country customs, such as banqueting for a few days. Instead, he gave his wife's body directly after the cremation.
After the ashes were buried in the cemetery, he only stayed in his hometown for two days to settle all the funeral matters before leaving with his son.
The shortest way back to the provincial capital is through the Changshan Tunnel, which can be reached in four hours. Not long after leaving the city, there is a fork in the road halfway up the mountain. The top is to Changshan, and the bottom is to Yuanling in the valley. Take an off-road vehicle to express it.
When they reached this fork in the road, there was a car accident behind them, which immediately blocked the narrow mountain road.
By the time people persuaded the two drivers who had jumped out to quarrel to move to the side of the road and get out of the way, the off-road vehicle with military plates had long disappeared.
Since then, Yuan Ling has disappeared
It is now late spring and early summer. Ling Zihan, who returned from Golden Crescent last year, has recovered from his injuries and spent some time recovering in a secret training camp near Beijing. He has adjusted his condition very well.
The hunter team captured Saifu La in the Golden Crescent area, and their performance was remarkable. They were highly praised by relevant experts and top leaders. Ling Yi was also very satisfied with his son, but he did not express it in words. Ling Zihan's performance was almost the same as that of his father.
, as if nothing had happened, very calm
Lu Xin admired this newly grown-up child very much, thinking that he was a genius in this field, and even said that "a young man is better than a young man."
After Yuan Ling disappeared, Ling Yi received the notice and immediately rushed to the National Security Committee for a meeting, and then conveyed the mission to Lu Xin. Lu Xin immediately convened a meeting with the four hunters who were currently without missions.
Ling Zihan, Wei Tianyu, Mei Lin and Zhao Qian received the summons and immediately came from different places and quickly gathered in a secret office building in the western suburbs of Beijing. From the appearance, these four hunters were all quite deceptive, and none of them would
It makes people feel threatened and increases their vigilance, especially Ling Zihan and Mei Lin, who always look innocent and simple, like childish children.
Lu Xin calmly showed the data to them on the screen and introduced Yuan Ling's situation to them in detail.
The 1071 Research Institute is directly under the Ministry of National Defense and develops mainly new missiles and space weapons. Yuan Ling graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China and was chosen by the institute with excellent results. He was deeply attracted by his creative insights in infrared guidance.
When he became the director of the institute, Yuan Ling was a simple young man, full of ideals of serving the country. He immediately put on his military uniform with excitement and entered this highly confidential institute. Soon after, the young man married his childhood sweetheart in the mountains.
His girlfriend is his wife, and his good character of "a poor wife will never leave the house" is even more praised by President Xi Jinping. Due to his contribution to missile development work, he was promoted quickly. He was promoted to major general just after he was forty years old, and served as
deputy director of the institute
Two years ago, when the former director of the institute retired, Yuan Ling started to move around. He wanted to be promoted to director. Considering that he was mainly responsible for the scientific research work of the institute and should not be distracted by administrative management, he promoted another director.
Since then, Yuan Ling, who felt deeply unfair, has changed a lot. In addition, his wife has always been frail and sick, and the medical expenses are expensive.
Having had no savings for many years and struggling with personal finances, Western intelligence agencies took advantage of the situation and quickly captured him with huge sums of money.
The constant leaks attracted the attention of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff. After a year of careful investigation, they obtained conclusive evidence that Yuan Ling had betrayed national military secrets. When they were about to arrest him, his wife suddenly died due to humanitarian reasons.
After thinking about it, they did not take immediate action, but planned to let Yuan Ling go back to his hometown to finish the funeral affairs, and then arrest him. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ling escaped in a planned way after the funeral.
"From the place where he disappeared, we speculated that he had five destinations." Lu Xin introduced the five departure channels in detail, and then said, "Based on our judgment and the current feedback from various places, Yuan Ling has probably arrived
China-Myanmar border, but it is not certain whether it has left the country.”
The four young people looked at the information carefully without saying anything.
"The boss instructed us that our purpose is just to prevent him from falling into the hands of the other party and to reveal what he has mastered. Therefore, it does not necessarily have to be captured alive, nor does it necessarily have to kill him." Lu Xin looked at the serious-looking elites in front of him.
, solemnly said, "Our people don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices, as long as they can complete the mission."
"Yes" the four people answered in unison. They had no questions. Lu Xin had clear ideas when assigning tasks. The data and plans had been clearly expressed in words and images. They all understood it.
Lu Xin waited for them to finish downloading the information. Seeing that they did not raise any questions, he said: "Okay, let's start taking action."
Four young hunters formed an action team, led by Ling Zihan. They left Lu Xin's office and immediately went to the studio dedicated to them to discuss the action plan.
They sat on the comfortable smart sofa and looked at the large screen on the entire wall. Wei Tianyu sat in front of his computer and operated quickly, and relevant data appeared on the screen one after another.
"Yuan Ling has a son Yuan Jun. He is nineteen years old this year. Yuan Ling took him back to attend his mother's funeral when he was a freshman in college. He also took him with him when he defected." Ling Zihan said quietly, "Yuan Jun has a daughter.
Friends, they must not know that they have absconded, and Yuan Jun will probably contact Zhao Qian with her. Go find the girl and see if you find anything."
"Yes" Zhao Qian stood up and left
He quickly went downstairs and drove straight to the airport. On the way, Wei Tianyu sent all the data about Yuan Jun and his girlfriend to his portable computer, and booked a ticket for the nearest flight for him.
Two hours later, he saw the girl on the university campus in a prosperous city in the South. The tall and cute girl was the main force of the school volleyball team and was training on the court with her classmates. She was full of youthful atmosphere and often had a smile on her face.
With a smile on her face, she obviously didn't know that the boy she loved deeply had followed his father on a road of no return without knowing it.
While Zhao Qian was pretending to be a college student and walking around the campus energetically, Ling Zihan and Wei Tianyu were still staying in the small building in the western suburbs of Beijing.
Mei Lin has already set off for Xin County to start tracing clues from the place where Yuan Ling disappeared. Ling Zihan and Wei Tianyu still need to collect more data for analysis before they can determine Yuan Ling's possible exit route.
The person who coordinated Yuan Ling's defection came from the Intelligence Bureau of Country F, but there are probably others behind it, because Country F is not a big country, and even if they do anything, they have to be cautious, and it is impossible to do such a big thing.
Wei Tianyu quickly filtered the relevant data found and sent the useful ones to Ling Zihan on the big screen. The two studied together for a whole night. They both believed that the intelligence experts of the headquarters had done a good job. Yuan Ling was likely to leave the country from Yunnan.
Myanmar leaves Asia by plane
"It's a bit unbelievable." Ling Zihan's lips twitched slightly, "Are they going to take the devil's tunnel?"
"I also feel a little surprised." Wei Tianyu smiled, converted a frame of satellite infrared imaging into a normal picture, put it on the big screen, and said casually, "These people are very suspicious."
Ling Zihan looked at the people in the photo. The satellite was taken from a high position, and their faces could not be clearly seen. It was the computer that made extremely precise calculations and believed that two of them were very similar to Yuan Ling and his son. This helped them
Confirming his previous judgment, he said calmly: "It is understandable that water, land and air traffic in various places are closely monitored. If they want to escape safely, they can only leave the country through the most dangerous channels."
"The devil's passage is difficult to walk, but as long as you walk out, you can get on the plane and leave." Wei Tianyu sent another photo. In the jungle on the Myanmar side of the mountains, there is a light aircraft that can take off and land vertically. Its endurance is
They can reach all the way to the Indian Ocean in the south. As long as they reach the high seas and board the ships or submarines there, it will not be easy to get close.
Ling Zihan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Yuan Ling is a civilian officer and has no experience in surviving in the wild. He also has his son. Even if they are escorted by experts, it will not be easy for them to get out of the devil's passage."
"Yes." Wei Tianyu agreed with his judgment, "They will move very slowly and must find a guide."
Ling Zihan turned to look at him and said lightly: "When we leave, you contact Mei Lin and ask him to rush to Yunnan and wait for him in Gongshan."
"Okay" Wei Tianyu immediately stood up to pack his things and asked casually, "Where is Zhao Qian?"
"If he doesn't find anything unusual there, let him rush to meet Mei Lin." Ling Zihan answered simply, "The boss must have sent someone to keep an eye on the girl. There is no need for Zhao Qian to stay there."
"Okay, I'll notify him right now." Wei Tianyu worked on the computer for a while, packaged and sent Ling Zihan's orders, action routes and related information to Zhao Qian, and then went to the equipment warehouse in the basement with him.
The two quickly packed up their belongings and left at dawn. They went to the airport and took a private business jet to fly south.
Although we are now in a high-tech era, the natural environment on the China-Myanmar border is similar to what it was half a century ago, and even more dangerous.
The rolling mountains are covered with large tracts of tropical and subtropical jungles, and Eupatorium adenophora, which has mutated several times, is all over the mountains and plains. This poisonous weed that is harmful to humans and animals and inhibits the growth of other plants has extremely strong vitality. Humans use various methods to cultivate it.
Even though they were killed several times with this method, they still could not be eradicated. Instead, they became more tenacious after several mutations. Ordinary civilians did not dare to enter this area. Only criminals would risk crossing the area where Eupatorium grows wildly and travel between the two countries.
, this can avoid the interrogation of the Chinese military and police, and the insurance factor is much higher than taking the official road. This road has high mountains and dense forests, and is full of poisonous weeds, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, poisonous ants, poisonous mosquitoes and other poisonous creatures, poisonous water, and poisonous mosquitoes.
Miasma also appears and appears, making it difficult for people to guard against. It can be said that every step is dangerous, so it is called the "devil's passage"
The Gaoligong Mountains that lie across the Nu River are part of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains in Tibet. They lie across the China-Myanmar border in western Yunnan from north to south. To the east is the Nujiang Grand Canyon and to the west is the Irrawaddy River. The path that crosses the Gaoligong Mountains is the Southern Silk Road.
Part of the park originally had three lines: north, middle, and south. In recent years, due to the crazy growth of Eupatorium adenophora, the middle line and the south line have been abandoned. No tourists dare to touch those horrible poisonous weeds. Only the north line is still available for backpackers to find.
You Tan Sheng
The people escorting Yuan Ling and his son took the southern route, but it was not the mature route that tourists have taken for many years in the past. Instead, they passed through the place where Eupatorium grows most luxuriantly to the top of the mountain, and then went down the mountain into Myanmar before those people
It must have been carefully planned and deduced, so we took advantage of the intricate terrain in the western mountainous area to reach the border and prepared to embark on this dangerous passage.
This road is full of dangers. In addition to the threats of nature, there are also people who use this devil's passage to engage in illegal activities. As long as you walk on this road, there will be no good people, and everyone will be a desperado.
The people in Yuan Ling also knew about this situation, so they had already sent people over to book a guide and would go up the mountain as soon as they arrived.
Since Yuan Ling's disappearance, the Chinese military and intelligence agencies immediately set up a dragnet. These people crawled into the Hengduan Mountains and, using the cover of the complex terrain, finally safely arrived at Gongshan Dulong and Nu Autonomous County in Yunnan, which is the most remote, poor and backward country in China.
It is one of the areas with difficult traffic and has rarely interacted with the outside world in history. Biluo Snow Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain, Nujiang River and Dulong River run through the territory. More than half of the county's area is Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve, with beautiful scenery.
, Jiangshan picturesque is located at the junction of China and Myanmar, Yunnan and Tibet, where many ethnic groups live together. Catholicism, Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism and primitive religions coexist, forming an eclectic and tolerant atmosphere for all foreign people and things, making this place
Become an ideal refuge for all kinds of people
Fifteen ethnic groups including the Dulong, Nu, Tibetan, Lisu, Jinuo, Delang, Wa, Bai, Naxi, Hani, and Zhuang live in Gongshan. Most of them cannot speak Chinese.
The people who brought Yuan Ling didn't understand their language, so they could only find Han guides. There were only two Han people living here who passed through the Devil's Passage. Mei Lin and Zhao Qian stared at them separately as soon as they arrived, and then passed through them.
Found the target
The group of people looked like ordinary tourists from the mainland, but they were all silent. They did not have the excitement and eagerness of first-time tourists at all. Instead, they looked like a professional mountaineering team, fully equipped and well-trained. They were climbing in Lu
After resting for a night, Jiangba Mopanshi took his guide and set foot on the Devil's Passage.
Since they had all undergone disguise modifications and carried jamming devices, Ling Zihan and the others could not completely confirm that Yuan Ling and his son Yuan Jun were among this group of people. They had to observe closely to further confirm that although Yuan Jun fled with his father, he himself
He is not aware of his father's actions, so he is an innocent being held hostage. We must ensure his safety as much as possible during the action. This is not suitable for long-distance sniping and increases the difficulty of completing the mission.
Ling Zihan and Wei Tianyu studied repeatedly on the way, and then asked the support team to prepare in advance. When they arrived at Gongshan, they got their things. The two had already changed their disguises before boarding the plane. Without any delay, they quickly entered the mountain.
Mei Lin and Zhao Qian took a short flight to Engla, a small border town in Myanmar. They immediately entered the mountains and came east along the Devil's Passage. They formed a pincer attack with Ling Zihan and Wei Tianyu, supporting each other.
Walking up the Devil's Passage, you will see Eupatorium all over the mountains and plains. Now is the blooming season of this poisonous weed. The beautiful light purple and white flowers cover the hillside and spread up to the top of the mountain. Other plants have already been crowded out by them.
And the animals that depend on those plants also migrate with them. Except for poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, there is no other life here that can compete with the helplessness of humans.
