Looking from a distance, Emperor Ye could feel that the two men had cold faces and extremely serious expressions, as if something big had happened.
"Could it be that we haven't found it yet?" Nalan Qianqi muttered in a low voice, but as soon as he said this, Ye Huang glared at him fiercely, and he immediately became honest.
Captain Wang and the people behind him strode onto the boat and came to the front of Emperor Ye.
"Captain Wang, the ID has been verified, is there anything wrong?"
Before the other party could speak, Ye Huang asked first with a faint smile on his face.
"Everything is normal, Colonel Ye. This is your ID. Please keep it." Captain Wang handed over Ye Huang's ID and immediately took back his hand.
"As long as it's normal, then we can leave?"
"I'm afraid not." Captain Wang shook his head, his face still solemn.
"What?" When Captain Wang said this, not only Ye Huang's expression changed, but also the expressions of everyone including Nalan Qianqi, Xing Tian and Sun Manjiang.
"Why can't we leave? We have all the documents, so why can't we leave? Captain Wang, we made an agreement with the previous guests. If this delays..."
Sun Manjiang, who was next to him, looked anxious and started to stamp his feet while standing there.
"Captain Sun, it's not that I won't let you go, but we have received an order from above. From now until evening, incoming and outgoing ships are not allowed to pass through the customs and must wait for instructions. Therefore, we have no choice but to act according to the order.
"
Captain Wang saw that Sun Manjiang was a little anxious and had a helpless look on his face, so he smiled awkwardly and explained.
"Why are you not allowed to pass the border? What happened?" Sun Manjiang asked again with a look of urgency.
Here, Ye Huang and the others frowned slightly and said nothing, vaguely feeling that something had happened.
"Captain Sun, don't worry. It's for your own good that we don't let you go. We just got the news that a murder occurred downstream and a cargo ship was attacked." The policeman who had been standing silently behind suddenly spoke with a solemn expression.
.
"Dead... dead?" Suddenly, Sun Manjiang's face became extremely miserable, his voice was already trembling, and he started to stutter.
Not only him, but also the expressions of all the crew behind him changed at this moment, their eyes widened and their expressions showed panic. It was obvious that what the thirty-year-old policeman in front of them said shocked them.
"The exact number of casualties has not yet been calculated, but more than a dozen corpses have been discovered." The thirty-year-old man added.
"Are you sure it's the crew member who died?" Ye Huang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"It's not certain yet. The situation downstream is currently unknown. Not only have we blocked the border, but Thailand has also temporarily blocked the waterway."
"What do you call it?"
"My surname is He, He Yunshi, and I am the stationmaster of the border inspection station. Hello, Colonel Ye." As he said this, the stationmaster named He Yunshi stretched out his hand.
Ye Huang shook hands with him, turned around and told Nalan Qianqi and Xing Tian to stay here for now, then winked at Master He Yun and stepped off the boat.
The two walked some distance away, and Ye Huang stopped.
"Webmaster He, now I can be more specific. I have an important task this time and I need to know the specific situation downstream."
"Colonel Ye, I'm sorry I can't tell you this. I just received a call saying that there have been heavy casualties downstream. We have a patrol boat rushing to the scene. We will have information soon."
"How many attacks were there on the Mekong River?" After hearing what the other party said, Ye Huang nodded and asked again without forcing anyone to do anything.
"Not many. Although this section of the river flows through the Golden Triangle area, shipping is not only a matter of upstream and downstream. They sometimes also need these cargo ships to transport supplies. Under normal circumstances, they will not attack these people, and they have also handed over a certain amount of money.
Protection fee. The Nuokang incident a few years ago was an isolated case."
"Well, how much does Webmaster He know about the current situation in the Golden Triangle?"
"Colonel Ye is going to the Golden Triangle?" Hearing Emperor Ye's words, Master He Yun frowned, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"That's right. A soldier in our army has disappeared in the southern jungle. We need to verify it." Ye Huang did not tell the truth and made up a random reason. Anyway, many special forces from the Chinese army will be sent to this area to carry out high-intensity operations.
Jungle training, this reason is not so awkward.
Sure enough, Master He Yun believed it after hearing this, "I heard that the Golden Triangle has not been very peaceful recently. The various forces are fighting fiercely. I don't know what the reason is. For this reason, our country is afraid of affecting the navigation of the waterway.
, and specially sent additional patrol boats. I heard from them that there would be some gunfire sounds from the surrounding mountains and forests from time to time. Who knows what kind of incident happened."
While talking, Master He Yun couldn't help but sigh, "That place is very evil. Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos can't control it. It's a three-no-no zone, and few people are willing to go in."
"I heard that that place is now developed for tourism, isn't it still so messy?"
"Tourism is developed in peripheral areas. The Golden Triangle is so large that it is impossible for ordinary people to enter some core areas. Although the major forces have compromised on some conditions, no one is willing to do so regarding their core interests.
Especially in the past two years, Myanmar has launched wars against Kachin State and other places in the north, completely muddying the waters that were not very clear at first."
"And in addition to the locals who live in the Golden Triangle, there are also a large number of people from outside who are involved. In the past, the Golden Triangle was one of the areas where the Japs garrisoned troops during World War II. I heard that there were a lot of treasures and gold plundered at that time hidden in the ravines.
Some young people were running around in that area, and it was a smoky mess."
"Hey, people die for money, and birds die for food. Ten out of ten people who go in die inside. You think these people rush to that place without even weighing how much they have. They are just seeking death.
"
"Colonel Ye, I advise you not to leave in a hurry. Wait for our patrol boat to come back and explain the situation there. It's not too late for you to leave. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous to get in here in a daze."
"How long do you think we have to wait?" When Ye Huang heard the other party's words, he frowned and asked again after pondering for a moment.
"Our patrol boats are much faster. We should have news at five or six o'clock in the evening at the earliest and ** o'clock in the evening at the latest."
"It seems that we have been waiting for a long time." Ye Huang gave a helpless smile and shrugged, "I will inform them and let them get off the boat and take a rest first."
"That's fine! Colonel Ye can come and sit at our border defense station."
"Um!"
After agreeing, Ye Huang turned around and walked towards the cargo ship, with a look of helplessness on his resolute face. There was nothing anyone could do about this kind of thing.
