Departing early in the morning, it was not until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the commercial vehicle arrived at a port on the Sino-Myanmar border. The more than ten hours of driving made everyone in the car a little tired except for Ao Tang.

Mi Lu leaned on Ao Tang and muttered: "When you travel in the future, you will resolutely take a plane." ”

Ao Tang patted her hand and smiled a little apologetically, of course it is convenient to fly to Myanmar, but who let him not get a passport in advance? Without a passport, I had to go through the border.

A middle-aged man sitting in the front row smiled: "Mi Lu, can't you stay up?" Back then, Lao Mi and we lay in the trenches, but for several days. ”

"Uncle Wang, the times are different, we can't stand the suffering of your older generation, but there is no need to suffer it."

Wang Meng, a comrade-in-arms of Mi Tiejun's back then, entered Mi Lu's mother's Cui Lang Ji after retiring - "Jin Jue hairpin on the head, Cui Lang Yu on the waist", Cui Lang Ji is the time-honored jade and jade shop of Mi Lu's mother's family for three generations - served as the deputy minister of security and was Uncle Zhao's deputy. With the recent fluctuations in the political situation in Myanmar, Wang Meng led a group of elite security guards to the Myanmar branch to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the company's personnel just in case.

This is a secondary port, with a border checkpoint in front, next to the border police station, today's border system, except for part of the army patrol, most of them are classified into the public security, but unlike the general police station, the border police station is an armed police establishment.

If you want to go out of a border crossing, you must apply for a border pass. For example, residents living on the border are separated by a line and go to the opposite side to buy and sell vegetables; Or have some affinity with the other side, go for a drink, play cards...... For the sake of these trivial things, it is much easier to apply for passports and visas, and it is much simpler to get a border pass.

But in the same way, there are restrictions on the use of border passes, there are time limits on entry and exit, and there are restrictions on the scope of movement...... With the border pass here, you can enter Myanmar, but you can only walk in a few border areas of Myanmar, and if you really want to go deep into the border, such as Naypyidaw, Yangon, and Wa City, it is not possible in principle. Of course, sometimes it is not so strict due to the confusion or inaction of management.

Border passes are generally issued only to border residents, and are often restricted for mainland residents. However, as long as there is a relationship, it is naturally easy to say, for example, some travel agencies will play the guise of passport-free outbound travel, that is, to get border passes for mainland tourists through relationships. This is considered to be the opening of the door of convenience, and everything will be fine when you meet a good travel agency, but it is inevitable that some black-hearted travel agencies will use temporary passes to take mainland tourists out of the country, and when the tourists go back, they are stuck and have to pay a fine.

The group got out of the car and was about to walk to the border checkpoint when Ao Tang suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Mi Lu immediately asked, followed Ao Tang's line of sight, and suddenly sighed, it turned out that among the group of people who were leaving the country in front of him, there was an "acquaintance" who had not seen him for a long time: Qian Dahai, the counselor of Ao Tang's class a year ago. Compared with the appearance of losing his soul and dying a year ago, Qian Dahai now looks quite energetic, hooking shoulders with a few strong men next to him, laughing from time to time.

"That guy seems to be doing a good job." Mi Lu said casually, and then stopped paying attention, just an insignificant person.

Ao Tang said: "Lulu, you don't know, he and those people around him are a criminal gang that smuggles rare wild animals. ”

"Ah, then call the police quickly, and let the police station in front arrest them." Mi Lu didn't ask how Ao Tang knew, since Ao Tang said that Qian Dahai was a criminal, it must be that.

"There's no need for that." Ao Tang chuckled and shook his head. At the beginning of Cuihu, he also called the police, but did not prompt the police where to catch the criminals, so although the criminal gang lost goods and money, everyone slipped away.

The reason why this is so, of course, Ao Tang has his considerations. The criminal gang had 3560,000 cash on its car, and it was okay to take the ill-gotten gains, so Ao Tang honestly and unceremoniously accepted it. If the criminals are caught, the police will inevitably pursue the money, even if more than 300,000 is nothing, but there is still a turtle in the car, which is no more than five rare animals in the world, and the police will definitely vigorously pursue it, which will inevitably bring trouble to Ao Tang.

To this day, even if Qian Dahai and others were caught, the traces and clues left by Ao Tang a year ago had long been traced, and he was not afraid of being found by the police, but Ao Tang still had no idea of reporting and exposing it, because deep down, he didn't think it was a big deal to smuggle wild animals.

It is only natural for people to eat animals. Except for a few symbolic animals, such as pandas, Qian Dahai If they smuggle pandas, Ao Tang also thinks they should be caught, but most animals feel that it doesn't matter. Especially smuggling from abroad to China, our domestic protected animals will not eat if they are not eaten, but smuggled in from abroad to eat, there is nothing wrong with that, for such a criminal gang, Ao Tang naturally turns a blind eye, in the final analysis, he is not a policeman, and he does not need to uphold the law all the time.

Of course, Ao Tang also knows that his thinking is narrow-minded, does not conform to certain laws, and does not conform to certain standards, but he is not a saint, so there is no need to be high-minded.

Wang Meng glanced at Ao Tang and said with a smile: "Now we are talking about protecting animals, when we were in the mountains, we met pheasants and wild boars, which was called a joy." Alas, it's greedy to talk about, a few days ago I was in the market at my house, and I finally found a pheasant for sale, and I just wanted to step forward, but the market manager took the man away, and I don't know if those pheasants are cheaper than the market manager? ”

For many people, sometimes they really don't understand, isn't it just selling a pheasant and eating a pheasant, why is it illegal?

Among the security guards led by Wang Meng, a young man in his early twenties spoke up: "Now when we talk about protecting animals and not eating wild meat, in the final analysis, we are just raising the threshold for eating in the wild, and ordinary people are not allowed to eat it, and officials and rich people are not eating as usual!" It's them who eat, and it's they who make regulations and shout to protect them, and they have to set up a torii when they become bitches! ”

Ao Tang and Mi Lu looked at each other, the Mi family is an official, a rich man, and Ao Tang is now a rich man.

Wang Meng glared at the man fiercely, people at the bottom of the society will be somewhat envious and jealous of the people at the top of the society, but mature people can suppress this emotion and transform it into the motivation for their own upward struggle, of course, there are also people who are content and happy, and who are poor and fatal; If you are immature, you will magnify the envy and jealousy in your heart, and if you are more radical, it will be transformed into hatred. Of course, there are indeed many shameless officials and wealthy businessmen, but at least in Wang Meng's view, Lao Mi and his wife are not counted. This Xiao Zheng may not mean to accuse the Mi family, but in the ears of the Mi family's daughter and son-in-law, maybe there will be associations of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng bowed his head, Wang Meng didn't think much about it anymore, he would naturally do his ideological education in the future, and now that Myanmar is turbulent, elite veterans like Xiao Zheng still have to use it. After laughing twice, Wang Meng said to Mi Lu: "Mi Lu, you are still young, and you have not experienced some illegal things, in fact, you don't have to worry about it, because what we are going to do next is not very formal." ”

After a few words, Qian Dahai and the others had already crossed the border, Ao Tang and the others also came to the border inspection station, and Wang Meng shouted loudly: "Old Zhou, I'm here." ”

Several border armed policemen were surprised that their leaders had already rushed out of it, and shouted with enthusiasm on their faces: "Old company commander, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Wang Meng retired as a company commander, and this old Zhou was a subordinate platoon commander at the time, and later transferred to the armed police system - although the armed police belong to the public security, they are in the same vein as the army - and now he is the director of the border police station at this port, at the battalion level, with the rank of armed police major.

Wang Meng said: "It's still the old rule, pass." This time, Lao Mi's daughter and son-in-law also came, and they did it too. ”

"The old leader's daughter and son-in-law?" Lao Zhou was stunned, looked at Ao Tang and Mi Lu, and became more enthusiastic.

Mi Tiejun was originally from the field army, and he always became the regiment commander, and when he continued to be promoted, he did not have a suitable position for a while, so he left the field army system and was transferred to the local garrison area to serve as a deputy division-level position, and later was promoted to commander. Although he is now a division-level cadre, in the mouths of some old subordinates, he still calls the regiment commander more cordial, and even some subordinates in the early years call him the old battalion commander, the old company commander, the old platoon leader, and the old squad leader.

Wang Meng said the old rules, obviously it is not the first time they have left here, this time it is the same, there is Lao Zhou, and after a while, he has done all the documents for everyone, and under Lao Zhou's courtesy, he crossed the border smoothly.

"This is going abroad?" Ao Tang pinched the pass in his hand and looked back again, feeling a little unrealistic in his heart.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "It's just a country, look ahead, a few hundred meters away is a small town in Myanmar." There is a gambling hall in the town, and ten of the gamblers in it are all Chinese, and even many mainland bosses have come here to gamble. It's also very powerful to kill people here, and bankrupt things happen repeatedly, haha, those bad gamblers have nothing to sympathize with. However, after a few deaths, the domestic public security organs jointly cracked down with the Myanmar side, which made this bustling gambling town instantly depressed, but once the limelight passed, it revived. ”

Soon, they arrived at the town, there was also a Burmese border inspection in front, and when they saw people from a distance, Wang Meng had already shouted: "Old Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

There are many Chinese people in Myanmar, and when that old Wu saw Wang Meng and others, his eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy when he thought that he had made money. Sure enough, Wang Meng said: "The old rules, seven ID cards." ”

"OK, but recently it has been strictly controlled, and the price has doubled."

If money can solve the problem, it is not the problem. A group of nine people, Wang Meng and the driver already had Myanmar ID cards, but the other seven people came for the first time, and it only took more than half an hour to take pictures before they got their respective Myanmar ID cards.

Wang Meng smiled: "This is the real ID card of the Burmese side. ”

Ao Tang and Mi Lu took their documents, looked at them upside down, and were stunned at the twisted and unmeaning Burmese text, and muttered: "How did we become Burmese?" ”

Although there are doubts in the mouth, I understand in my heart that although it is convenient for Chinese to be in Myanmar, it will be more convenient to do certain things if there is a regular Myanmar ID card.
