In this emergency recruitment, Li Tianchou felt that the instructor treated him as a surprise soldier, because he knew that there was a field service team in the department at the same time, but he was not asked to coordinate and cooperate with him. On the one hand, it is for confidentiality, and on the other hand, it is also for convenience. This made Li Tianchou realize the transcendent independence of the shadow members when they performed their tasks, and it also made him feel tremendous pressure.

As for the description of the 'Ranger' in the investigation report, it only came to an abrupt end when Xu Wen and others were isolated due to unexpected factors after they joined Wu Fang in the small hotel, what kind of accident could make the whole group fall into trouble and passivity?

In fact, Xu Wen and his entourage had just arrived in Mengjiao, and they had not yet launched any action, and they had an accident before they even had time to contact the special task force stranded in the local area.

However, there are not many descriptions of the 'rangers' participating in the investigation in the dossier, and the main content is the trajectory of Wufang's activities in the town in just a few days. What did this guy encounter? Li Tianchou felt a headache, there were too many assumptions and questions in the series of cases, and if he wanted to quickly open a breakthrough, he probably needed extraordinary perspectives and means.

He rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to shake off the doubts in his head, but a monotonous road map unconsciously appeared in front of him, a straight line back and forth, from Mengjiao to Kunhe, and then from Kunhe to Mengjiao.

Tossing the members of the 'Ranger' back and forth for more than a thousand kilometers is not a small gesture, intuitively the opponent's purpose is to keep them in the town, or it is possible to attack the east and west, in order to cover up other purposes, in short, the opponent succeeded.

it, Li Tianchou actually whistled and threw out all the depression that had accumulated in his chest. The details in the dossier are all imprinted in the mind, but you must not be swayed by these superficial things, since you have absolute autonomy, why not find another way?

Looking around, most of the passengers on the plane were wearing blue sun hats, all from a cross-border tour group – a nine-day trip between China, Myanmar and Thailand organized by a well-known travel agency. Li Tianchou is naturally one of them, and the tour group is a good tool to cover people's eyes, and he plans to avoid the focus of attention - the small town of Mengjiao and go to northern Myanmar to see. He had a hunch that he would find something in the untold Qin Gang.

In this way, Wu Fang and the others have no time to take care of it, and Li Tianchou, who has gone through many storms, will naturally not be emotional, look at the problem with a new eye, and look for a breakthrough from the periphery, which may be able to receive unexpected results. This coincided with Xu Wen's suggestion that day, but unfortunately all the members of the 'Rangers' were quarantined and could not carry out this plan.

Of course, judging from the recent situation of the 'Rangers', no matter how bad it is, there is also a direct field team to drive over, and these two groups of people together are extremely ferocious, and they must not be underestimated because they have suffered losses at the beginning.

The first stop of the tour group is the Banna Rain Conservation Area, everyone was towed away by the bus as soon as they got off the plane, and the ground tour guide was like urging the order, and many of the enthusiastic passengers did not even have time to take a photo at the airport.

Despite complaining all the way, the bus drove non-stop for nearly five hours to reach the state capital of Banna. It was already night, and in the urging of the tour guide, everyone hurriedly checked in at a seemingly good hotel, and the whole process was like a rapid march, which had nothing to do with leisurely sightseeing.

"That's the way it is for tours that are heavily discounted, no way. An old man sighed, reluctantly put away his papers, picked up his small bag and went upstairs.

Li Tianchou didn't care, what should he do with the big army under the arrangement of the tour guide, and it was easy to settle down, only to find that he was in the same room as the old man just now.

"The old gentleman went out alone?"

"Hey, hey. It's okay to be idle at home, go out for a walk, and take a look at my son by the way. ”

"Oh, your son works in Banna?"

"It's not. In Myitkyina, Myanmar, China State Construction Company. ”

"Hehe, yes, big company. It's a long way away, but you're too short on time for the tour. Li Tianchou remembered that there was no such point in the travel itinerary, and the stay in Myanmar was too short, only two days.

"I won't follow when I get to Nankan, and my son will be sent back when the time comes. ”

"It seems that your old man has walked more than once, just ask a question, Myitkyina is fun, or wax is fun?"

"I can't tell, they all look the same, but the mountains are really steep and beautiful. What's the matter, boy, you want to run the gang too?"

Li Tianchou's heart moved, he had originally planned to go straight to Myitkyina after leaving the country with the tour group, which was not far from the area where the Chin Gang was active, and a little further southeast was the Pampa port, which was also very close to the town of Mengjiao, and it was not even half a day's journey.

It's just that Li Tianchou is really unfamiliar with Myanmar, and the only thing he understands is the cramming of international relations during the training camp, which is limited to humanities and history and a little current politics, and then there is a little bit of online travel strategy articles. Now that there are old people with them, it is much more convenient along the way. So he nodded and said, "It's the first time I've come, and I want to see more." According to the itinerary of the tour group, I was worried that I would not see anything, so I wanted to walk around on my own. ”

"Oh, that relationship is good, if you don't dislike it, follow the old man, and keep you from suffering. But one thing to note is that this visa has a time, and you must not run away and not come back. ”

Li Tianchou laughed, "Don't worry, old man, I still have a mess in the company in China, how can I say that I can run, it's a rare easy few days." ”

In this way, the old and the young talked happily. In the gossip that followed, Li Tianchou learned that the old man's surname was Pan, who was widowed in his early years and had been living in SZ City. A son and a daughter, the eldest daughter married and started a family, settled in the magic capital with her husband's family, the younger son is still single, living with the old man, and was stationed in the Myanmar branch by the company the year before last.

As for why Old Man Pan didn't directly apply for passports and visas in the name of visiting relatives, Li Tianchou also understood a rough idea, first, his son was too busy with work, so it was inconvenient to disturb more, so he stayed for two or three days every time he went back, and second, the old man likes to travel around and walk around, so the route of each cross-border tour is different, and it seems that this situation is reasonable.

As for his own situation, Li Tianchou introduced it very simply, and the old man didn't seem to know too much, so he went to bed early because of the fatigue of the journey.

On the second day of his trip to Banna, Li Tianqian not only visited the flowers, but also bought a lot of maps, in various forms, such as scenic spots, administrative division maps, etc., and even Myitkyina's tourist maps, which were translated into Chinese.

Since returning from the scenic spot, Li Tianchou has been constantly looking at various maps, not carrying the old man on his back, and claiming to be geographically blind. Although there are detailed maps in the information sent by the instructor, they are not as intuitive as the ones he just bought, and as soon as many of the maps are fused, a clear three-dimensional picture is formed in his mind.

The next day is the second attraction on the itinerary, the famous tourist city of Ruili on the Sino-Myanmar border, which is a small city with picturesque scenery and strong ethnic characteristics, and there are a lot of jade and jade, especially Burmese jade is very popular.

Many mainland merchants and collectors like to buy rough stones here, in order to look forward to producing high-quality jade and gemstones, and gradually formed a well-known gambling stone market, so Ruili is also known as the "hometown of gambling stones".

Ruili is located in the northwest of Banna Prefecture in the territory of Dehong Prefecture, the distance is not close, to the northwest across Pu'er, Lincang two prefectures, it takes 6 hours to take a bus. We have to leave at five o'clock in the morning, and we don't necessarily arrive before noon. gives Li Tianchou the feeling that joining a tour group is like marching on the road, which secretly meets his needs, but for real tourists, it is a little sinful, the so-called appreciation of the scenery, can only look at the state of mind.

Ruili's jade market is located in the tourist pedestrian street, and the large and small jewelry and jade stalls and various tourist handicraft stalls will crowd the market.

Li Tianchou didn't expect it to be so popular, the small street can be described as shoulder to shoulder, full of people. Jade and jewelers from all over the country, no, from all over the world have gathered in this projectile land. There are also countless tour groups of all shapes* waving various small flags.

On both sides of the street are buildings with ethnic characteristics, but almost all of them are modern reinforced concrete, which is really not interesting. Li Tianchou was also very uncomfortable with such a crowded environment, and the old man surnamed Pan couldn't stand it as soon as his initial excitement passed, so the two left the tour group together almost without discussion.

As expected, the next project is that the tour guide will pull everyone to a relatively remote shop, and begin to sell goods hard, calling on everyone to buy.

As for whether it was really as the old man said, Li Tianchou didn't care. The two planned to walk around, have lunch, and then meet with the tour group, the afternoon route is to go to the Moria tropical forest, and then return to Nankan in Myanmar via Wan Town Bridge, it is naturally much more convenient to follow the tour group, as for whether the tour guide will retaliate for the two of them leaving the team without permission, it is not within the scope of his consideration at all.

After Nankan, the two were ready to leave the group and fly alone.

The beauty of Ruili lies not in the urban area and the pedestrian street, but in the surrounding ethnic buildings and tropical plants of different shapes. Wandering all the way, Pan Lao pointed and sighed, while Li Tianchou watched the life of the border people with great interest.

I learned from the small vendors that it is not more convenient for the border people here to enter and exit than before, although almost no one checks the passports and passes in the free trade markets on both sides, and they are very free, but they can't go deeper. The border inspectors of the two countries are very strict, and even if the formalities are complete, they will be repeatedly inspected and interrogated, and it is very normal that they cannot pass through the customs smoothly.

The peddler was also talkative, and he said that Burma was about to go to war again, and that the Kachin State in the north was fighting for independence, and the Burmese government army brigade was coming over, and the situation was quite tense. Now, several ports, including Pampa, have been temporarily closed, and free trade markets with relatively large influences such as Ruili and Mujie have also tightened customs clearance conditions, so this has become the case.

Old man Pan glanced at Li Tianchou blankly, the travel agency had not said it beforehand, was this a sudden change? He was obviously unprepared, and he was not confident enough to leave the group and fly alone. And Li Tianchou just smiled slightly, didn't answer, paid the vendor twenty yuan, bought a bamboo puppet, and then pulled the old man away.
