In the early morning of the next day, Qin Xiaochuan came to the airport, and after a round with Zhang Xinfa and other members of the investigation team, he flew directly to Kunming.

Three hours later, the investigation team arrived at Kunming Airport.

As soon as she walked out of the terminal, Qin Xiaochuan saw a familiar shadow in the crowd of people picking up the plane, she stood heroically in the sun, looking charming and capable.

Liu Qingqing, one of the members of the investigation team, is really her own Qingqing sister?

Liu Qingqing held back her excitement, threw an affectionate glance at Qin Xiaochuan, and then smiled and said to Zhang Xinfa, who was walking in the front, "Vice Minister Zhang, you have worked hard, and the vehicle has been arranged." ”

Zhang Xinfa nodded, turned his head and said to Qin Xiaochuan: "General Qin, this is Comrade Liu Qingqing." ”

Qin Xiaochuan immediately took the initiative to hold Liu Qingqing's hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Liu Qingqing, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Looking at the long-separated Ailang, Liu Qingqing couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms immediately, but in this kind of public occasion, and at the same time, she had to restrain her excitement and said with a smile: "General Qin, hello." ”

"Good, good, everybody. Qin Xiaochuan held Liu Qingqing's hand and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Fool, let it go. You don't have a face, I still have a face. Liu Qingqing glanced at him, blushing and whispering.

Qin Xiaochuan reluctantly let go of Liu Qingqing's hand.

The group arrived at the hotel in a luxury bus, and the team leader, Zhang Xinfa, immediately held the first plenary meeting in the hotel's conference room to listen to Liu Qingqing's detailed report on the entire case before and after the incident.

"At 9 a.m. on June 5, the Chinese-flagged vessel 'Hua Yong' and the Burmese-flagged vessel 'Ngoc Yong 8' were hijacked by two unidentified armed speedboats in the Mekong River Basin. Along with the hijacked vessel was the Huaxing 6, but it was not intercepted due to its position at the back. The crew of the Huaxing 6 confirmed that they saw seven to eight armed bandits boarding two boats and then leaving with them, and then lost contact with them. ”

"At 12 noon on July 5, the captain of the 'Yuyong 8' suddenly called with an emergency announcement, and the captain only said four words: 'I am at the crane dock now, call an ambulance immediately, call the police immediately, and someone is injured!' After that, there was no news. After the incident, customs brokers in Myanmar confirmed that at around 11 noon on the same day, 5 kilometers away from the place of abduction, the customs brokers saw two speedboats escorting two transport boats through, but did not see who was driving them. The customs broker contacted the transport ship by radio, but did not receive a response. ”

"At 13:30 p.m. on July 5, the Thai military received clues about drug smuggling into the country, so it stepped up patrols and inspections. On the 5th, the police patrol boat found the boat where the incident occurred on the Mekong River in Qingxian Town, and the cargo on board was fruit, which was no different from an ordinary cargo ship, but there were people guarding the cargo, and it did not look like a sailor. The Police then signalled the vessel to stop for inspection. The two cargo ships did not stop, but accelerated to escape, after which the military exchanged fire with five armed men on board, one of whom was killed and the rest fled. ”

"At about 14 o'clock in the afternoon of July 5, the salesman of the 'Yuxing 8' ship learned from the Thai police: the 'Huayong' and 'Yuyong 8' ships docked at the Golden Triangle Crane Wharf, and there was no crew on the two ships, and there was a body on the 'Yuxing 8' ship, the body was unrecognizable and difficult to identify, and there were guns next to the corpse. The wheelhouse of the 'Yuxing 8' was covered with blood and bullet holes, and a total of 800,000 or 900,000 drugs were found on the two ships, and the whereabouts of the crew members of the two ships were unknown. ”

"On July 7, two bodies were found at Chiang Saen Wharf in Thailand, which were confirmed to be the sons of Huang Yong, the captain of the 'Huayong', and Yang Deyi, the captain of the 'Yuyong 8'. The other had duct tape sealed his eyes and mouth, suffered fatal knife wounds to his neck, and was shot in the chest and abdomen. ”

On July 8, Thai police recovered the bodies of nine Chinese crew members from the Mekong River, and the whereabouts of two others are unknown. The recovered body was handcuffed with both hands, with duct tape wrapped around its head and numerous bullet holes on its back. ”

"On July 10, Sasa, the governor of Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, reported to us that all 13 Chinese crew members were killed on two cargo ships that were attacked on the Mekong River, and that search and rescue personnel found the body of a Chinese crew member in the waters of the Mekong River in Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province, earlier that day. We have confirmed that as of 17:00 on the 11th, the total number of Chinese crew members killed is 12, and there is still one missing. ”

After listening to Liu Qingqing's report, Zhang Xinfa pondered for a moment and asked, "What reports have the newspapers in Thailand and Myanmar reported on this matter in the past few days?"

Liu Qingqing nodded and said slowly.

On July 10, Thailand's "Bangkok Post" reported that after a preliminary investigation, the Thai police believed that the murderer of the robbery was the Nokan drug cartel from Wa State in Myanmar, and the motive of the robbers may be to ask for protection money, or they may want to hijack a boat to transport drugs. Thailand's military and police said the attacks on the Hwa Yong and Ngoc Yong 8 were similar to Nokan's modus operandi. The drug cartel commanded by drug lord Nokan in Myanmar's Wa State is believed to be behind the shooting of the Huaxia crew in the Mekong River. ”

In response to this question, a spokesman for the Wa State government of Myanmar stated on the same day that the Wa side had nothing to do with the incident. Myanmar Wa State spokesman Li Zulie said that after the media announced that the matter had an affair with Wa State, Wa State also conducted an investigation and found a witness at the Chiang Saen Pier in Thailand at the time, according to this eyewitness, when the ship was found to come down, the Thai police had fired a warning shot at the ship from the shore, and the Huaxia cargo ship stopped, and then the Thai police boarded the ship and found the body of a crew member and five crew members, and a moment later, eyewitness witnesses saw the Thai police shoot the five crew members and push six bodies into the river. ”

There was silence in the room.

Zhang Xinfa said heavily: "Now Thailand and Myanmar are passing the buck to each other, but they have both presented human and physical evidence. This tragedy has already involved three countries, and it seems that things are far more complicated than we imagined. Since three countries have already been implicated, I propose that a trilateral joint investigation team be formed among China, Myanmar and Thailand to thoroughly investigate the matter. General Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "I agree with your opinion." ”

Zhang Xinfa said decisively: "Okay, immediately bring the suggestions of our investigation team to Minister Meng and ask him to mediate between them." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qingqing, who was the secretary of the special investigation team and was responsible for the receipt and processing of documents, immediately got up.

Zhang Xinfa looked around at all the people and said solemnly: "Comrades, this tragedy looks very complicated, everyone must be mentally prepared to travel abroad for a long time. ”
