Wa State, the second largest special region in Shan State.
Li Zan was puzzled: "How dare he in Wanqianshan? The Wa State has close relations with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and is well connected with each other. It should not be too difficult for the Chinese side to request the United Wa Army to assist in arresting him."
The terrain and forces in the Golden Triangle region are extremely complex and difficult to summarize in one word. The Golden Triangle roughly covers Shan State in northeastern Myanmar, Kachin State, the northern border of Thailand, and the western border of Laos, with a total of more than 3,000 villages and towns. Due to the strong and effective measures taken by the Thai government,
Due to anti-drug measures, most of the drug production areas have been moved to Myanmar, with the remaining parts located in Laos.
Myanmar is a federal country. Shan State in the east and Kachin State in the north are autonomous regions with independent governments and armies, but they are subordinate to the central government of Myanmar.
Shan State is divided into southeastern and northern Shan States. Wa State is located in eastern Shan State and is the second largest special zone in Shan State. It also has a high degree of autonomy and sovereignty, an independent government and the United Wa Army.
Before the high-pressure anti-drug policy was implemented, the Wa State had always been feared by major countries around the world. Especially the United States, which accounts for nearly 60% of the Golden Triangle, even brought a group of Wa leaders to court for fear that they would expand local control of the Wa State after they came to power.
Poppy cultivation.
That’s right, Wa State, a small place that can’t even be found on the map, was once the world’s largest poppy-growing area. It wasn’t until the chairman of the Wa State government pledged his head to ensure that drugs and opium poppy cultivation were completely banned in Wa State in 2005.
The Wa State was established as a drug-free zone in 2016, and started anti-drug cooperation with the Chinese anti-drug department. At the same time, it established cooperative relationships with many Chinese companies.
To sum up, under the premise that Myanmar intends to eradicate Wan Qianshan and the Wa State has a close relationship with China, Wan Qianshan still chooses to flee into the Wa State. Is he dissatisfied with his long life or is he really unscrupulous and thinks that China has nothing to do with him?
Not aware?
Jiang Heng: "There are many deep mountains in the Wa State, and there are also more remote villages in the mountains. Although the entire region is prohibited from drugs, precisely because of this, the Wa State seems to be the safest." He began to analyze the current situation in the Golden Triangle: "The Wa State is now the most stringent drug prohibition.
, but it does not mean that there will be less drug circulation. Its geographical location is too special, with many mountains, suitable for growing opium poppy, and it is connected to the border. As you know, borders between countries cannot be crossed."
As for drug profits, people dare to take risks under the pressure of high-pressure laws, let alone in border areas where the laws are not strict enough.
"In Chiang Rai Province on the Thai border, the poppy cultivation area in the northern part of Chiang Mai Province has been wiped out, and anti-drug measures have been strict. The Thai government has heard about Wan Qianshan's actions in the past two years. For security reasons, they are not very welcoming to Wan Qianshan. So Wan Qianshan
I would not consider fleeing to Thailand."
Chiang Rai Province and the northern part of Chiang Mai Province on the Thai border belong to the Golden Triangle area, and it is currently a relatively safe area in the Golden Triangle.
"As for Laos, I also have some doubts." Jiang Heng paused for a moment and said again: "Wan Qianshan has also been active in Laos. Compared with the Burmese government who wants to kill him, Laos should be a better hiding place.
But he hid in the Wa State instead of Laos. There is only one reason I can guess."
"What is it?" Li Zan was not as familiar with the Golden Triangle as Jiang Heng, so he was confused now.
"China and Laos have the best relationship, and thousands of mountains are afraid of it."
"No reason." Li Zan: "Wan Qianshan has been hiding in the Golden Triangle for more than ten years. He has never dared to provoke China for more than ten years. Otherwise, China would have discovered his identity long ago. According to this logic, he and China should
If there is no grudge, we will not worry about the hard relationship between China and Laos."
"Unless he thinks that China already knows what he did in Yuejiang City."
"...Lu Ji?"
The news about the Hang Shui Street fire is abuzz, but the official has not clearly pointed to the missing gun case in Tangshan 16 years ago. Logically speaking, Wan Qianshan has no way of knowing the inside information of the police, unless someone deliberately uses this information to trap him in the Wa State.
And Lou Ji is the perfect choice.
Jiang Heng: "So this is what he meant by cooperation, and it's not useless."
Li Zan: "The Wa State does not matter whether it is big or small, and the Wa State government may not agree with our large-scale search of Wanqian Mountain."
Even if it agrees, after arresting Wan Qianshan, the Wa State government will definitely not hand Wan Qianshan over to China for interrogation.
"You can ask locals for help."
Li Zan then remembered that Jiang Heng had found some people to help him collect information in the Golden Triangle, but were there enough people?
Jiang Heng put his chin on Li Zan's shoulder and said, "That should be enough. Let's not talk about that. Let's sleep for a while?"
After eating and drinking, chatting about romance, and then taking a nap to recharge your spirits, it’s a perfect fit for a couple’s travel tutorial.
Li Zan was also tired and did not object to Jiang Heng's suggestion. He went to take a shower and tidy up, then climbed into bed, covered himself with a quilt, and let the surging sleep overwhelm him in the dim room.
Half asleep and half awake, Jiang Heng moved over behind him, hugged him from behind, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day.
The sky is clear and clear.
The exchange meeting between Guangdong and Yunnan provinces was held at the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department. Excellent criminal investigators from the two provinces and cities successively participated in the exchange meeting according to the procedures. The main topic was how to use rich experience combined with modern advanced criminal investigation technology to detect cases. The exchange participants at the meeting were all
They have extraordinary abilities and are all well-known figures in the police community.
Li Zan went to listen once and benefited a lot. He had some doubts in the process of solving the case and suddenly became enlightened.
If there were no other arrangements, Li Zan would have shamelessly attended the class.
The subsequent exchange meetings became more official, and a series of live-action exercises followed. The content of the live-action exercises in each city was almost the same, and Li Zan was not very interested in it, so he took the opportunity to run away.
He asked for leave from the deputy criminal detachment by the way, and the reason was just and clear: he was going to accompany his partner!
Because the exchange between the two provinces lasted for a week, the deputy criminal detachment sighed and let the person go after saying that the dog food tastes bad.
Li Zanshi skipped work, packed lightly and boarded a plane to Xishuangbanna. After getting off the plane, he rushed to Guanlei Port in Mengla County without stopping, and bought a ferry ticket to the Wa State that afternoon.
As soon as he landed, Jiang Heng, who was wearing a straw hat and floral shirt, had already blended in with the local people. His face was covered with makeup and his complexion turned sallow. He looked like an ordinary gangster who was doing nothing but smuggling some drugs from time to time.
Jiang Heng waved to Li Zan at the pier: "You don't have any luggage?"
Li Zan shook his head and looked at Jiang Heng: "I believed your previous betrayal." He thought that a gentleman like Jiang Heng would not be able to pretend to be a ruffian.
Jiang Heng put one hand on Li Zan's shoulder, staggering as if he was boneless, and his eyelids drooped as if they were about to squint: "Dear Captain Li, I am honest and never lie."
The pier is crowded with people. There are rows of houses in front and behind, some are built of stone, and some are built of bamboo. The local characteristics are quite distinctive. There is a row of fish stalls on the street, and a layer of banana leaves is spread at the bottom of the fish boxes. The clear water
The water, white houses, black stones and green banana leaves, the colors are so vivid and vivid that it is unbelievable that this is a world-famous drug kingdom.
A group of children were playing and suddenly rushed out of the alley. A round green van that looked left and right suddenly braked. The front of the van stopped, the rear of the van tilted up and fell. The car body shook, and the driver inside was lying on the window.
He scolded those children in the Wa language.
A series of movements without any pause, obviously very experienced.
The child walked away laughing, and the driver scolded, turned around, and waved to Jiang Heng and Li Zan: "Dear old friends!" The tone was strange, and it was indeed Chinese.
Jiang Heng pulled Li Zan over: "Get in the car."
Deafening rock music was playing in the car, and the driver shook his head and started the small Hiace, passing through the lively docks, lanes full of local characteristics, and walking out of the county town on a mountain road.
The mountain road was a dirt road, and the van was extremely bumpy. Even Li Zan was a little dizzy.
Jiang Heng hugged Li Zan and said, "Lean on me and rest. Let's go to Bangkang now. We'll be there soon."
The Wa State Autonomous Region is divided into 3 counties and 2 special zones, and Bangkang is one of the two special zones. The place is not big and can be reached quickly by car.
Jiang Heng whispered softly to Li Zan, turned around and clutched the driver's seat with a fierce expression: "You know how to drive a good car on a mountain road?"
The driver did not dare to say that he deliberately drove a van that was not suitable for mountainous roads to meet the respected father of Party A. He could only shrug his shoulders and grab the steering wheel in embarrassment. He apologized in a low voice and said that there was a foam box at the back of the car with ice in it.
Blocks and ice water, drinking some can relieve motion sickness.
Jiang Heng frowned, took out the ice water, twisted it, and fed it to Li Zan himself.
The driver, who had been following Jiang Heng for several years, had never seen that nervous and concerned look before. When he saw it this time, he couldn't help but be shocked by the relationship between the two.
After a few minutes, Li Zan got used to the bumpy feeling, holding Jiang Heng's arm and looking out the window at the green shadows passing by quickly, as well as the busy figures beside the green shadows.
"It's a tea garden." Jiang Heng said.
Li Zan: "Replace those who grow opium poppies?"
"Um."
One of the anti-drug methods in the Golden Triangle is to use other crops to replace poppy cultivation, provide jobs and ensure continuous economic development.
Li Zan looked at the driver: "Your people?"
Jiang Heng: "Friends I met before."
Li Zan: "Thousands of mountains are in Bangkang City?"
Jiang Heng: "No. But there is someone there who may know where Wan Qian Shan is hidden. Let's go and ask."
At the same time, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Bureau.
A special operations team formed by Guangzhou Province and the captain of the anti-narcotics detachment of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Bureau formulated a plan on how to arrest Wan Qianshan. Yunnan Province provided information on their intelligence agents who had been ambushing the Golden Triangle all year round.
As soon as the special operations team arrives in the Golden Triangle, they can contact the intelligence agents through their special contact information to get the information they want.
The head of the special operations team asked: "Do you know anything about this person in Kunshan?"
The Anti-Narcotics Detachment of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Bureau looked at their superiors and answered after receiving approval: "We have been collecting information about Kunshan. He came to the Golden Triangle from 2004 to 2005. He suddenly gathered a group of stragglers about 6 or 7 years ago.
He formed a Kunshan drug trafficking group and quickly seized territory and expanded his territory with a batch of methamphetamine and illegal drugs. He does not smoke and does not allow his subordinates to smoke. He is just like another big drug lord Kunsha."
"This man from Kunshan is relatively far-sighted. He used all the money he earned from selling drugs to support his private soldiers and buy new weapons. By the time the governments across Myanmar found out, he and his group were already unshakable. Starting from the year before last year, Shan
There are rumors in the state that Kunshan intends to form an army and establish an independent government. Anti-drug activities in other special zones are vigorous, and his group continues to expand its opium-poppy cultivation territory."
"The Myanmar government has no way to deal with him for the time being."
"Have you found out the identity of this person in Kunshan and his identity before he became a drug lord?"
"No. Kunshan is cautious. I only know that he is Chinese."
"Do you know the whereabouts of Kunshan?"
"Our intelligence agents have not yet reported back."
In the quiet space, several people fell into silence. The hour hand kept circling in a steady circle. On the landscape electronic clock hanging on the wall, the figures showing the date were covered with a dazzling red light.
The bottom of the porcelain cup fell to the table and made a soft knock, awakening the silence that had been ups and downs for a long time. A drop of water splashed out, quickly spreading the dark water stains, and a crashing sound spread across the sky. At that moment, someone turned back and looked in the direction of the door and said: "
It's raining?"
At 18:33 on the evening of August 16, it rained heavily in Kunming City, Yunnan Province. The same dark clouds crawled in the sky of Bangkang District, Wa State, like a giant beast that swallowed up the sky and the earth, annihilating the afterglow of summer in an instant, and the violent wind and rain blew.
Disperse the formerly lively city streets.
Pedestrians were running around, and cars were rushing head-on like a fish entering the sea. When they reached the intersection and found a fish rushing head-on on the other side, they braked suddenly. With such skill, they beat professional racing drivers by 180 blocks.
The roads in half the city braked violently at least ten times, making Li Zan want to pull out his gun and start a killing spree.
Until the car stopped at a narrow intersection, Li Zan still had a gloomy face and his murderous eyes were fixed on the driver.
The driver pulled back his greasy hair that looked like it hadn't been washed for months and sneered: "I forgot that you are an honored guest when you first come here. I promise not to steal the road next time."
Li Zan pulled his lips and sneered: "Next time, daddy will drive you to enjoy it."
The driver muttered and refused: "Friends are like clothes, and wives are like siblings. If you dare to touch my wife, I will blow you up."
Jiang Heng suddenly stood in front of him. The driver looked up and saw this man grinning like a dog. Without the good skin as a disguise, he was simply eerie and cold, and he was frightened when he saw it.
"boss?"
"Don't you have many wives?"
"Everyone is loved like a treasure."
"A Cherokee for you..." Jiang Heng looked at the Hiace behind the driver: "This is a little cutie."
The driver's eyes lit up: "Change it as you like! There are many cuties in my garage, and they can definitely withstand your cutie's random make-up. If you don't like it? How about changing it to my sexy little handkerchief?"
He pressed further, but Jiang Heng refused with one sentence: "No need. Next time you drive, you sit in the back and let my little cutie give you a ride."
"Gudong", the driver always thinks that "give you a ride" and "take you to the west" mean the same thing.
Jiang Heng patted the driver on the shoulder: "Don't forget this agreement."
With a smile on his face, the driver, who was a good old man without any threat, and who understood his bad nature, knew it all. He swallowed, the boss made it clear that he wanted to vent his anger on his little lover, and those who took money from people had to be disobedient.
"Smart." Jiang Heng smiled, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Li Zan, hugged him from behind, and spoke close to his ear: "I have candy in my pocket. Holding one in my pocket will make you feel better."
Li Zan closed his eyes forcefully, resisting the "chugging" pain in his temples, stretched out his hand and naturally took out the candies from Jiang Heng's pocket, stuffed two of them into his mouth and held them in his mouth.
They walked under the eaves of the alley to avoid the pouring rain. There was not much light in the alley.
Jiang Heng raised his arms to block the rain falling on Li Zan's head. Half of his body was soaked, while Li Zan only got a little bit of his clothes wet.
"The man who knew Wanqianshan's hiding place was caught and stuffed inside a tea processing factory."
