On the morning of the third day after arriving in Kabul, Gao Jing got his complete set of identity documents.
This efficiency is simply not what it is in Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world.
Gao Jing's current full name is Joanne Ward. He is a native of Kabul of European descent. His current occupation is a clerk in a government agency.
This set of ID documents also includes a formal work permit, which is used in most areas of Kabul!
Gao Jing was very satisfied with this and paid Abu another 20,000 Maid on the spot.
And gave the other party a box of Havana cigars.
"Thanks."
The broker politely bowed to Gao Jing and thanked him, and said: "Mr. Qiao Ande, if you need anything in Kabul in the future, you can contact me at any time."
Gao Dingding nodded: "No problem."
Having said that, he doesn't put all his eggs in the same basket.
The identity of such a guy is extremely complex, and he may have multiple backgrounds. If you deal with them a lot, you may be tricked next time, and your life may be involved.
Although Gao Jing is not afraid, he is too lazy to scheming with others if it is not necessary.
After seeing Abu off, Gao Jing decided to go for a walk.
In order to avoid trouble, he stayed in the hotel for the past two days and did not go out.
On the one hand, because you don’t have an identity document, you will easily be interrogated by patrolling military police when you go out.
In addition, Gao Jing also needs to practice behind closed doors to restore the power of the totem, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the gigantic disguise state for a long time.
But he wasn't in Kabul for a vacation.
Outside the hotel was a main road in the city, and it was quite bustling with people and cars. Gao Jing came out of the hotel and stood by the roadside, looking around, wondering if there were any taxis here.
His Hummer was still parked in the parking lot next to the hotel, with no intention of using it.
Because it's too eye-catching.
"Sir, sir?"
At this moment, a timid voice suddenly came from the side asking: "Where are you going?"
In order not to look too special, Gao Jing deliberately dressed himself up before leaving the hotel.
He has a SLR camera hanging around his neck and a travel backpack behind his back.
Looks like a tourist or reporter.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Gao Jing believes it himself.
Hearing this voice, Gao Jing couldn't help but turn his head and saw a thin boy of sixteen or seventeen standing next to him, looking at him with a mixture of fear and expectation.
What interests Gao Jing is that he speaks English quite well!
interesting.
Gao Jing touched his chin, smiled and asked, "Are you a guide?"
Although I have an instinctive respect for Gao Jing's tall and strong physique.
Seeing that his attitude was quite kind, the Ahan boy immediately became bolder and nodded hurriedly and replied: "Yes, I am very familiar with this place. I can take you wherever you want to go!"
"I want to go to the weapons market."
Gao Jing said: "Can you take me there to have a look?"
According to his prior understanding, there is a large underground weapons trading market in Kabul.
Weapons such as AK47 are sold at street stalls there, and the business is quite booming!
But Gao Jing read the news online, and he doesn’t know whether it’s true or not, and he has no way of knowing its specific location.
"I know!"
The boy Ahan replied without hesitation: "I can take you there."
"very good."
Gao Jing took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it over: "Lead the way."
He didn't give too much to prevent the other party from becoming greedy.
However, for this Ahan boy, this was already an extremely generous reward, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you sir."
The young man took the money with both hands and carefully hid it inside his shoes.
Then he stopped a tricycle that had just passed by.
This kind of tricycle converted from a motorcycle is very common in Kabul. It has a single seat for the driver in the front, and can seat two people in the back. It can also load cargo on the top, making it very flexible to drive.
However, the passenger area is a bit small. As a big man with a height of more than two meters, Gao Jing had to curl up hard to squeeze himself in, which made the car sink.
This made the dark and skinny driver very reluctant and yelled at the young guide.
The latter didn't know what he said to the other party, which made the driver drive on the road angrily.
The overloaded tricycle "chunked" through the narrow and crowded streets, gradually leaving the lively city center area, passing through the almost ruined buildings, driving for more than half an hour, and arrived in front of an open-air market.
Gao Jing came down to take a look and couldn't help but frown.
This is not a weapons trading market. Although there are many people setting up stalls, they sell meat, food, rice, fruits, vegetables, and some daily necessities.
"Still inside..."
The boy Ahan observed his words and quickly explained: "The car can't get in, we have to walk over."
Gao Ding nodded.
The boy paid the driver the fare and then led Gao Jing through the open-air market.
We entered a complex of buildings that looked like slums.
Surrounded by one- and two-story adobe houses, all kinds of awnings were erected in a haphazard manner. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the tarps on the narrow walkway, casting mottled light and shadow.
There are many small shops here, and many stalls display weapons such as pistols and rifles.
Gao Jing followed the young man to look at several stores and felt quite disappointed.
Because these weapons are basically in tatters, and some are in such poor condition that they cannot be used at all. If you buy them back, you can only disassemble them and use them, so how can they catch his eye.
The stall owners looked at Gao Jing, the uninvited guest, with alert and wary eyes. If it were not for the company of the young Ahan boy next to him, they would probably take action.
"Is this the weapons trading market?"
Gao Jing stopped, shook his head and said, "It's not interesting, let's go back."
These junk things, even if they were given to him for free, would still take up space!
The young man Ahan hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, if you want to buy good weapons, I know a gentleman who can provide new weapons, but he is not easy to deal with."
The young man was hesitating - whether introducing the other party to Gao Jing was the right choice.
Gao Jing suddenly laughed: "It doesn't matter. I'm sure to convince him. If you take me to find him, your hard work will be indispensable."
The boy Ahan gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll take you there!"
He led Gao Jing around left and right, passed through several alleys, and came to a four or five-story building.
This building has also experienced damage from the war, but the frame is still intact. There are many sandbags piled in front of the first floor, and there are several armed men with rifles guarding the front door.
Seeing Gao Jing coming with the young man, they all grabbed their weapons!
