The next day we followed Deputy Director Chen to Ruili City.
As Deputy Director Chen said before, one of the routes for drugs flowing into China in Myanmar is to reach Ruili City and then to Kunming.
Moreover, this route is the most popular route for drug dealers. There is no need to mention the reason. If you go from other routes, they are all small county towns. What drug dealers want is to fish in the water, so naturally the more people, the better. And this
Ruili City is a city with a population of 200,000, and it happens to be not far from the border... It is only more than four kilometers away from the China-Myanmar border, so it naturally became the first choice for drug dealers to hide drugs and transport drugs. According to Deputy Director Chen's estimates
, the drugs flowing into China from Ruili City every year account for at least half of the total amount of drugs flowing into Yunnan. This also shows how important this Ruili City is in the fight against drug control.
Because of this explanation from Deputy Director Chen, I became a little wary of this city before I arrived in Ruili City... As for the spread of drugs, there are drug dealers or illegal people everywhere, addicts,
What's more, the scene makes people feel no good when they think of it.
But when I arrived in Ruili City, I realized that I was wrong. This city looks no different from other cities in China. If you want to say anything, then walk on the streets with many people wearing ethnic clothes.
Some dialects that we don’t understand. Later I learned that this is because Ruili is located in the China-Myanmar border area. Since the reform and opening up, Ruili has become the China-Myanmar trade market, such as gold, jade, etc.
Of course, these transactions have caused smuggling to be pregnant. Even drugs have appeared even now.
Our first stop was Ruili Bus Station, but we quickly discovered that this was not a good choice.
The reason is that we have too many people. The entire staff of the Synthetic Battalion, plus the Public Security Bureau, the Armed Police, and the Drug Enforcement Brigade, used three jeeps and two cars to load it.
If this is an ordinary person, there is no problem, but most of us are soldiers with live ammunition, or the police in white uniforms. So our convoy stopped at the entrance of the bus station. The troops immediately caught passengers as soon as they got off the car.
The panic.
It was a bit too scared, but the passengers all showed a look of shock on their faces. Many passengers waiting at the station even stood up and left the station in panic. In less than two minutes, they saw a person who looked like a cadre.
From the station, he ran to us in a panic, took off his work cap and exposed his half-bald head and nodded and said, "Comrade, may I ask... are you..."
"Old Lu!" Deputy Director Chen said from the other side of the car: "It's nothing, I just take the comrades to see the situation!"
"Oh. So it's Deputy Director Chen!" The stationmaster, known as Lao Lu, was relieved when he heard this: "I thought something big happened, and I brought so many comrades!"
"No!" Deputy Director Chen laughed and then introduced to me: "This is Comrade Lu Fangsheng, the bus station manager, who often deals with our public security department and cooperates with our work!"
"Hello, Webmaster Lu!" I took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with the webmaster because I knew there were many opportunities to cooperate with the bus station manager in the future.
"Hello comrade!" Webmaster Lu responded with some surprise.
"This is Battalion Commander Yang!" Deputy Director Chen introduced.
Of course, I don’t mention any other words. I still like Deputy Director Chen about this, and he also knows that the affairs of our military and police department are to say less to the outside world.
"Captain Yang!" Stationmaster Lu nodded respectfully: "If you have anything to cooperate, just give me instructions! We will cooperate with you with all our strength!"
"How many trains are there in this station?" I asked casually: "How many mileage is there?"
"There are 67 trains in total!" Stationmaster Lu replied: "This mileage is long and short, hundreds of kilometers long, dozens of kilometers short!"
I nodded and looked at the waiting room where people were sitting, standing everywhere, but there was not a single policeman inside. I couldn't help but shake my head secretly. If this drug dealer got here, it would have been to heaven.
"This place... doesn't seem to be suitable for observation!" Deputy Director Xie also realized that he had made a mistake.
His original intention was to take us to the station, a place where cases are frequent, but he did not expect that bringing so many people here also means disturbing the public.
"Why don't we change the place?" Deputy Director Xie asked.
"Are there many drugs found here?" I asked.
"More!" Deputy Director Xie nodded: "One of the reason, there are many drug dealers who are not rich enough to have transportation, and secondly, they are considering the cost. Another important thing is that some drug dealers think that taking buses is more affordable.
The concealment is because the population flow here is very large, and our police force is limited, so we cannot check it one by one, so it has become a place where drug dealers often appear!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and ordered: "Since I'm here, go in and have a look. There are not too many people, just let the cadres go in!"
"Yes!" the people around responded.
However, most of the people who came from our rank were cadres, and with the guards and so on, more than 20 people finally walked into the waiting room.
This time, the people became more and more nervous, but at this time they did not dare to choose to leave. The reason was that they had another worry... If they left at this time, what should they do if the People's Liberation Army and the Public Security Bureau doubted them?
If it's okay, it will become something.
On the other hand, they were worried that something really happened, so the originally chaotic waiting room suddenly became quiet. Except for the crying of a few children in their arms, they could hear the needle falling down.
Seeing that, a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
"Comrades, don't worry!" I said loudly to the passengers: "Our People's Liberation Army also needs to take a bus sometimes, just come to the station to take a look!"
I said this, some people did relax a little, but most people's faces were still full of doubts.
So I realized that the next time I came to the station, we should not bring at least so many people, or we could choose plain clothes...
"Um!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nodded secretly: plainclothes police may be a good way to detect.
You should know that the Public Security Bureau's reconnaissance methods in this era are quite backward. This is not their fault. The technology level cannot keep up with the establishment and office, and there is not even a camera. How can people monitor and perform high-speed data sharing and information transmission?
.
This also leads to a very serious problem, that is, the scope of effective control of the public security department is small and the case-solving rate is also very low. In modern times, we can solve the problem by just a few cameras and some surveillance equipment.
In the times, dozens or even hundreds of policemen cannot do it.
And it is not realistic to do this. For example, this station... can hundreds of policemen be monitored here?!
So at this time there is a special policeman that is very necessary, that is: plainclothes.
There is no need to mention the benefits of plainclothes... When we in uniforms walk in, we actually reminded the criminals to be careful and to hide the drugs, which means that
It is actually us who are in the open and criminals who are in the dark.
Plainclothes have no problem at all. On the one hand, they will not disturb the people and dress up like the people. On the other hand, drug dealers are not wary of them unless they can see through the disguise of plainclothes.
This makes plainclothes safer, more meticulous, and more opportunities to observe suspicious people from secretly to reduce the workload of the public security department and improve work efficiency.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nod. It seems that we are not only going to train the anti-drug brigade this time, but also need to form a plainclothes policeman. It can even be said that this plainclothes policeman is suitable for the whole country... These same methods can be used.
Deal with other criminals!
Just as I was thinking, the situation in the waiting room had a new change. Deputy Director Chen and several public security officers were already starting to search passengers' luggage.
This is normal. The purpose of our trip is to see how the public security department works and fights drugs.
Just looking at the way Deputy Director Chen’s public security officers searched for bags, I couldn’t help but shake my head. There were at least a few hundred passengers gathered here. If I wanted to search a passenger’s luggage in detail, it would take at least a dozen minutes.
, So how many passengers can be searched for?
Therefore, working efficiency with this method cannot prevent drugs from circulating through bus stations.
At this moment, a few pots of flowers picked up by a passenger caught my attention...
At first glance, there is nothing strange about these pots of flowers. The passenger looks like a flower farmer. It seems normal for him to raise a few pots of flowers to sell somewhere else.
But I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong. Looking at the flower farmer, I seem to dare not look at my eyes and occasionally observe my reaction with a nervous expression.
So I waved to the point of view, so I waved to Deputy Director Chen and others to come over and asked them to search for this suspicious flower farmer.
This is a must, because in terms of search, our experience is really not as good as that of the people in the public security department.
However, Deputy Director Chen and his team couldn't find anything no matter how they searched. The flower farmer just carried a few pots of flowers on one load and a bag containing several clothes.
