Chapter 157: The Woman Who Smoked
In Wang Shao's impression, a place like this for selling medicine should be eerie and terrifying, heavily guarded, and make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
The laughter that can come out of the stilted building makes people suspect that they have arrived at an entertainment place where singing and dancing are leveling.
The situation in front of him reminded Wang Shao of the three shanties made of bamboo he saw when he went to Ruffian Ditch on the night when he was collecting debts for his cousin.
After a cursory look, this row of stilted buildings stretched all the way to the depths of the night, at least a few hundred meters long.
Su Ba stopped and told Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong again: "This is the safest den in Bangkang, after I help you introduce you, the rest can only rely on yourself."
I can hear that Su Ba is doing zuihou's admonition.
"Then we'll give you the hard work of leading the way now?" Dongfang Huanglong asked tentatively, but his eyes kept aiming at the row of bright stilted buildings.
Su Ba shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry at this time, I'll give it after the introduction." ”
Looking at the stilted building in front of him, which looked like a ruffian teahouse, and listening to Su Ba's almost cold response, Wang Shao understood that he and Dongfang Huanglong were about to enter this mysterious drug-selling organization.
In the past 17 years, this is the first time that Wang Shao has really faced this dangerous action.
Until this moment, Wang Shao still couldn't fully believe that he would join the action to eliminate transnational criminal organizations and play the role of buyers.
Wang Shao even suspected that he was still in a dream and had not been woken up by Su Ba.
But the brightly lit stilted building and the constant laughter reminded Wang Shao that everything in front of him was a living reality.
Remember, Dongfang Huanglong's name is Li Xiaojin, and his name is Xiang Lianghai, don't call it by the wrong name.
Wang Shao, who was silent, was silently remembering the pseudonyms of him and Dongfang Huanglong, for fear that he would be exposed and killed.
Before taking Wang Shao and the others in to buy medicine, Su Ba was also doing his duty as a guide, so he admonished Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong.
No matter how much Su Ba and Man Dian couldn't get used to Wang Shao, no matter how disrespectful they were and short-tempered, they didn't dare to break the rules on the road.
This is also an unwritten rule on this road, you must be responsible for bringing a business to the destination, and explain the relationship to the buyer who buys the medicine.
And the safest den in Bangkang mentioned by Su Bakou is nothing more than saying that the row of stilted buildings in front of him belongs to the largest sales den in Bangkang.
Dens such as this kind of trafficking are the targets of severe crackdowns in China, and can only be set up quietly in private, and once discovered, they will be resolutely banned.
But in Bangkang, which is thousands of miles away, it can be set up blatantly, and it will stay all night and all night.
While secretly surprised, Wang Shao couldn't help but sweat for him and Dongfang Huanglong.
"Huh" exhaled a long breath of evil air, Wang Shao took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his heartbeat.
In comparison, Dongfang Huanglong is much calmer than Wang Shao, after all, he has undergone professional training in the police academy and has been engaged in undercover work for a long time, so he can still remain calm in the face of these illegal organizations.
Su Ba's words continued: "Every time we bring buyers, they come here to trade, and basically they all leave successfully, I hope you can also buy at a price that you are satisfied with." ”
Wang Shao was not interested in these jargons, what he was concerned about was how to find Shi Jingxiang's whereabouts.
Dongfang Huanglong, on the other hand, hopes to get in touch with the drug selling organization as soon as possible, so as to wait for the opportunity to get out of the den set up by Tu Zhiqiang's organization in Bangkang.
Seeing that Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong did not raise any more objections, Su Ba took the lead in the direction of the stilted building, and Dongfang Huanglong and Wang Shao immediately followed, still Mandian walked in Zuihou.
When he got closer, Wang Shao found that outside this neat row of stilted buildings, there was also a courtyard wall surrounded by a bamboo fence, which was exactly the same as the architectural style of the border checkpoint.
After walking a long way around the bamboo fence, I finally saw a gate with a bamboo fence.
As far as the eye can see, on either side of the wide gate, stand two watchtowers, towering into the dark night sky.
They are called watchtowers because they resemble watchtowers during the war years.
I had only watched it in TV dramas before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes one day.
Just when Wang Shao was secretly surprised, a snowy searchlight shot down from one of the watchtowers, swept over Wang Shao's four people one by one, and firmly locked on Su Ba's body.
Su Ba was wearing colorful clothes, and he was walking in the front, so the searchlight would naturally keep an eye on him.
Su Ba, who was accustomed to not being surprised, motioned to the people behind him to stop, and then raised his head and shouted loudly to the top of the watchtower.
This time, what came out of Su Ba's mouth was not Mandarin, and Wang Shao couldn't understand it, but by feeling, this should be Su Ba's identification to the people on the watchtower.
At first, I thought there were no sentry posts, but now it seems that it is much stricter than the border checkpoint.
As soon as Su Ba's words fell, he replied to something from the watchtower, and then Mandian also shouted two sentences.
Soon, the bright searchlight disappeared from Su Ba's body, and the gate of the bamboo fence returned to a hazy dimness.
"It's okay to go in." Su Ba replied softly, and there was a sense of relief in his tone.
I don't know what Su Ba and the people on the watchtower said, but judging from Su Ba's reaction, it's not that simple here.
The laughter and laughter that appear on the surface may hide many dangers.
Walking closely behind Su Ba and stepping into the gate of the bamboo fence, Wang Shao's heartbeat doubled in vain, and he felt that he didn't dare to come out.
Looking up and looking around, Wang Shao found that not all the stilted buildings on both sides were lit up, and those laughter seemed to be only available in the middle stilted building.
Before, because they were too far apart, it gave people the illusion.
When he came to the brightly lit stilted building and stood still, Su Ba said something to Mandian.
It sounds similar to the shouting just now, and it is likely to be the dialect of Bangkang's side.
After Mandian responded, Su Ba turned to Wang Shao and the others and ordered, "You wait here first, and I'll report it first." ”
Without waiting for Wang Shao and the two to react, Su Ba "pedaled" onto the open-air bamboo and wood stairs of the stilted building and strode up the stilted building.
Looking at Su Ba's back disappearing at the door of the bamboo house, Wang Shao's heart hung up inexplicably, he wanted to quietly exchange ideas with Dongfang Huanglong, but with Mandian on the side, he could only give up temporarily.
At this time, Dongfang Huanglong also seemed to be a little cramped and uneasy, constantly rubbing his hands, not saying a word, and seemed to be preoccupied.
"You don't have to be so nervous, this is Chai Wang's territory, and even the Kokang Army doesn't dare to come in casually." Man Dian said casually: "As long as you are real buyers, Boss Chaiwang will receive you warmly." ”
The implication is that if Wang Shao and the others are pretending to be undercover agents, this will be the beginning of a nightmare.
"Who's Guess Wang?" Dongfang Huanglong pretended to ask casually, but he was actually very nervous.
Man Dian glanced at the light on the stilted building, and continued with a little admiration: "Boss Chaiwang is the largest business owner here, and he has a regular army under his hands, so there will be no problem to buy medicine from him." ”
Dongfang Huanglong nodded suddenly and said casually: "We want to find a bigger boss this time, so that we can save a lot of intermediate links, save costs, and buy authentic medicines." ”
"The medicine is absolutely authentic, don't worry about that." Mandian continued: "It's just that you'd better not play tricks, otherwise we may not be able to get out of this bamboo fence courtyard wall." ”
Mandian's words are not alarmist, and the strength of Boss Guess Wang can be seen from the watchtower at the door.
Hearing Mandian's words, Wang Shao's heart became heavier and heavier.
Before, he insisted on going to Bangkang to find Shi Jingxiang's whereabouts, all with a responsible righteousness, but now that he is really in this dangerous Bangkang land, Wang Shao is still a little weak-hearted.
In less than a minute, Su Ba leaned out half of his body from the stilted building and shouted below: "You can come up." ”
"Let's go, go upstairs." Mandian's relaxed words made the atmosphere tense all of a sudden.
Dongfang Huanglong responded softly: "Go up." He followed closely behind Mandian.
"Whew" Wang Shao took a long deep breath and walked towards zuihou.
Looking back at the hazy surroundings, it was quiet, but Wang Shao understood that in the darkness, there was an unknown secret whistle.
Immediately behind Man Dian, Wang Shao and the three of them entered the bamboo house of the stilted building.
This stilted building is no different from what I've seen before, except that it looks more spacious.
Before he walked into the bamboo house, he smelled a strong smell of tobacco leaves, and after walking into the bamboo house, Wang Shao found that there were people smoking hookahs inside.
It is a hookah gun made of thick bamboo, and a hole is dug in the middle to fill it with water, and the smoke from smoking is filtered from here, which can effectively remove harmful substances from the smoke.
This kind of hookah is also used in his hometown, and Wang Shao is not surprised.
To his surprise, it was a woman who smoked the hookah.
Eight bright lanterns are placed around the bamboo house, illuminating the stilted building as if it were daylight, and also reflecting the woman smoking.
A long table was placed in the middle of the bamboo house, on which were placed two plates of dim sum and a set of kung fu tea sets, and the woman smoking sat at the long table, looking coldly at Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong.
In the two corners of the bamboo house, there were two men in colorful clothes, although they did not have obvious weapons on them, but their eyes were full of murderous energy.
Guess Boss Wang is a woman?
Facing the woman's fierce gaze, Wang Shao secretly guessed.
I remember that just now under the stilted building, Mandian once said that this is the territory of the boss of Chai Wang.
Judging by the woman's posture sitting at the long table, she should be the boss here.
With this in mind, Wang Shao subconsciously looked carefully at the woman sitting at the long table and smoking.
