Chapter 108: Meeting
A provincial GA hall compound.
Two police SUVs crossed the boulevard and stopped in front of an old, three-story office building.
As the door opened, a tall, lanky Santos emerged from the back seat, his eagle-sharp eyes looking around.
His companion Tony appears on the other side of the car.
Compared to Santos, Tony is much fatter, middle-aged, and already has a bit of a beer belly.
"You two here, please."
A police officer walked up to the two men, made a gesture of please, and said in English, "Our chief is already waiting for you upstairs." ”
Santos smiled and nodded, the knife-like wrinkles on his face huddled together.
"Then you'll lead the way."
Accompanied by a police officer, the three of them walked together to the stairs.
Santos walked and looked around.
Huaxia's GA organ is also a new place for him.
"Officer, you speak English very well, you learned it in college?"
"That's right, when I was studying at the police university, one of the two foreign languages I was drafted in was English, and one was Spanish."
"Oh!" Santos looked suddenly realized, "It seems that I am lonely and unheard, but I didn't expect that your police academy also has a foreign language major." ”
The young officer didn't answer Santos, showed a strange smile, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Santos is the first time to come to China?" ”
"For the first time." Santos said, "I'm familiar with this side of Asia, Southeast Asia, but I'm new to this place, after all, you don't welcome people like me who are too sensitive." ”
"Of course you are welcome to come for sightseeing." The young officer showed no signs of weakness.
Santos was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, if you come on a mission, it is indeed unwelcome." ”
As the group talked, they reached the third floor, and the young officer led the two to the door of a conference room and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened from the inside.
"Come in, both of you." The officer stood by the door and motioned for the two to enter.
Santos straightened the cheap suit, brushed the gray board on his head, straightened his waist, and the smell of a professional soldier immediately came out.
Walking in, there was already a circle of people sitting at the oval conference table inside.
Seeing Santos and Tony come in, the head of the hall who was sitting in the first place stood up and greeted him.
"Welcome American friends from afar."
Several people shook hands and exchanged polite greetings, all of which were nothing more than words on the scene.
The young police officer, who acted as an interpreter next to him, began to introduce the people in the room.
"This is our Director Chang, and this is Director Liang of the Major Crime Division, Captain Chen of the Anti-Narcotics Corps."
He looked sideways at the head of the department, who was standing next to a young policewoman with the rank of third-class police inspector.
"This is Li Li, the Commissioner of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, who was specially sent by the GA Department for this case."
An Ruosu reached out with a top hat, shook Santos and Tony, and said, "It's nice to meet both." ”
Tony's eyes lit up, and he praised An Ruosu: "Commissioner Li is really young and beautiful, and being able to engage in counter-terrorism work in the GA Department at such a young age really fulfills your old saying in Huaxia, what...... What's out of the teenager? ”
"It's a hero from ancient times." Santos corrected his partner as she spoke, "Tony, you should read more books about Huaxia." ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Tony sneered as he nodded at his almost bald round head, but his gaze never left An Ruosu.
An Ruosu said: "Since the two of you came from afar and rushed over without resting, let's not waste time, let's have a meeting and exchange the information we have with each other." ”
Director Chang also chimed in: "That's right, then, please take a seat." ”
Everyone was seated.
An Ruosu motioned for the young officer to put the information on Santos and Tony's desk.
Santos and Tony opened the folder, and the information inside had been translated into English, so there was no reading disability for them.
After a quick cursory glance, Santos spoke first.
"It's long overdue for us to work together." He shook his head and said, "It's a pity, Zhang Lan was originally a very important clue, but unfortunately it was broken in Huaxia, if you could exchange information with us earlier, maybe this regrettable incident would not have happened." ”
Santos's tone was somewhat condescending and a little aggressive.
Stalling hands, he said: "Zhang Lan's line, we have already noticed, her husband Chaiba had close contacts with the South American drug trafficking group we have been tracking in the early years, we believe that they will sell drugs all over the world through cooperation, and then after Chaiba was captured by my team, Zhang Lan took over and connected with the South American drug trafficking group again through international brokers, we originally planned to plan another arrest operation, but I didn't expect her to die in your hands, it's a pity." ”
Santos flattened his mouth and put down the folder.
"Mr. Santos." Director Chang smiled slightly: "Zhang Lan's drug trafficking group has always been very active at the border, but we have cracked down many times, she has never dared to venture into our territory, since you have arrested her husband, you should have provided us with more information through Interpol, or you should have contacted us to cooperate in the arrest a long time ago, instead of waiting until Zhang Lan died, and then came to us to ask for information, and accused us of not doing a good job." ”
Santos pouted, spread his hands again, and didn't speak again.
An Ruosu took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Santos.
"Mr. Santos, I think since we are sitting together today and talking about cooperation, we should be more honest. According to the information we have obtained, the South American drug trafficking syndicate that cooperated with Zhang Lan is the Colombian Carlos syndicate, and this group was captured by your American special forces ten years ago and sent to the United States to serve his sentence, but it suddenly disappeared mysteriously in the process of transferring to prison a few years ago, and its whereabouts are still unknown, can you explain the relationship? ”
Santos's gaze suddenly became less relaxed, his hand touched his chin, and his gaze swept over his partner Tony next to him.
"I don't understand what you mean by 'relationship'?" After a while, he said in a deep voice.
"There are a lot of drug cartels in South America, and there are many families, and isn't there anything interesting about a big drug lord in the Golden Triangle going to such great lengths to find an international broker and get in touch with a declining drug cartel?" An Ruosu opened the briefcase again and handed over a document, "Perhaps, you can take a look at this thing for yourselves, and then think about how to answer us." ”
Santos's eyes fell on the first page of the information, which was several photos, one of them was Zhang Lan, the other was a man, he looked like he had long wavy hair, and his facial features looked like he was of European origin, and the two of them opened their arms as if they were going to hug.
Santos's face quickly sank.
Tony also saw the photo, he also noticed his partner's ugly face, touched the mustache on his mouth, and said, "Santos, I think it's better to be honest with our Chinese colleagues." ”
