Chapter 223: Menglin Town
Li Lu guessed one thing correctly, there was a problem within the buyer.
In the end, it's gold that's to blame.
Menglin is not a stranger to some Chinese people, and during the expedition of that year, many small troops were scattered here. This small town near the Mekong River is the central and western town of the Golden Triangle region. The boom, built on a foundation of drug trafficking, gives this small town an eerie feel.
Anyone who first arrives here will have this kind of confusion - it is clearly a poor place, but entertainment is very prosperous. If judged by the average consumption power, there are few places in the mainland of China that can compare with this place.
Mercenaries, armed drug traffickers, and other service groups attached to drug cartels, etc., have been intertwined here for decades, and have shown a peculiar tacit understanding.
The streets were full of armed men with guns and ammunition, some dressed in civilian clothes, some wearing all kinds of old-fashioned military uniforms, and the weapons were also varied, American-made Soviet-made, and even weapons left over from the French decades ago.
Therefore, when a group of uninvited guests like Li Lu appeared on the streets of Meng Lin with guns, it didn't seem so weird. However, with the appearance of such a few capable strangers, it is obviously impossible not to attract attention.
This day was already the seventh day after Li Lu received the telegram.
It was already the fastest he could get.
Just after turning around, Li Lu had a basic understanding of Meng Lin's terrain. Mainly on the highway, the neighborhood is divided on both sides, mainly hotels, restaurants, bars and grocery markets, as well as countless small shops and shops.
Li Lu, Zhang Weiwei, Zhao Xu, Huang Guanghui, Li Daniu, and Wan Shan and Xiang Ping, a total of seven people, formed a special rescue team, and arrived at Menglin at lunchtime.
At this moment, they were sweating profusely eating noodles. The owner of the restaurant, who was Chinese, brought over a plate of beef and said with a smile, "Brothers, try this, don't need money, try it." ”
Li Lu smiled and nodded, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhong." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, they're all Chinese, you're welcome." The owner of the restaurant, Zhong Gedao.
Li Lu pointed to the position beside him, "Brother Zhong, if you're not busy, sit down and talk." ”
"Hey, not busy, not busy." Brother Zhong sat down, glanced at these compatriots, suppressed his voice, and said, "Xiao Li, how many brothers came here to do big things, right?" ”
Li Lu smiled, "Brother Zhong, what do you mean by doing big things?" ”
Brother Zhong glanced around and said, "What else can you do here?" Oh, Brother Li, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. ”
"It's okay, Brother Zhong, but it's okay to say it." Li Ludao.
Brother Zhong said, "The whole world knows what the Golden Triangle is, and those who come here either want to sell goods or go to the boss." You're not the first batch. In the past few years, many people from China have come here, most of them have been soldiers, and some of them are young people from school, saying what they have come to spread the MZX idea. ”
Shaking the picture, Brother Zhong sighed and said, "Brother Xiao Li, I think you seem to be a person in the system, come here, you have a mission, right?" Your brothers are not ordinary people. ”
Li Lu smiled slightly and said, "How did you see that?" ”
Brother Zhong straightened his chest slightly and said, "I was also a soldier. I can see that these two brothers of yours are also in the army. ”
Sitting at the table with Li Lu were Wan Shan and Xiang Ping.
At this time, Brother Zhong probably didn't know that his life was already circling around the Ghost Gate.
Li Lu shook his head slightly, "You see, we are all in trade." ”
"Oh, that's the goods." Brother Zhong's tone suddenly became a little cold.
Li Lu said, "We sell cars. ”
"Selling cars?" Brother Zhong was stunned.
Li Lu also saw that this loyal brother was not an idle person. can mix like a fish in water here, and it won't be able to stand on its feet for a few moments.
"Haven't you heard anyone getting into a batch of trucks lately?" Li Lu asked.
Brother Zhong was stunned for a moment, stared at Li Lu, then his eyes became frightened, he quickly looked around, and hurriedly said, "Brother, let's leave quickly after eating, this is not a place for you to stay for a long time." ”
After saying that, Brother Zhong got up and went into the restaurant and never showed up again.
Xiang Ping, who had been immersed in eating noodles, put down his chopsticks and raised his head at this time, glanced at the inside of the restaurant, and said in a low voice, "Squad leader, there is a problem with the owner of this restaurant." ”
Shaking his head slightly, Li Lu groaned and said, "Not necessarily." Maybe our opponent is not an ordinary armed force, and it is normal for him to worry about getting into trouble. ”
Xiang Ping is about the same size as Li Lu, two years older than Li Lu, in the past two years, Li Lu was the leader of the fifth squad of the second platoon of the 101st reconnaissance company, and the last year of acting platoon commander. Xiang Ping and Wan Shan are the same, and they have followed Li Lu to carry out more than a dozen infiltration operations, and they have a tacit understanding with each other.
"He must know something, I'm going to talk to him?" Xiang Ping whispered.
Li Lu thought for a moment, nodded, and stood up. He gave the others a look, and walked into the restaurant one after the other with Xiang Ping.
Wan Shan and Zhang Weiwei at the other table exchanged glances, and began to covertly unfold their guard, not allowing anyone to enter the restaurant.
Xiang Ping walked directly inside through the narrow corridor, entered the inner room through the small doorway, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Brother Zhong holding a pistol and preparing to load the magazine.
"Brother Zhong, let's talk, don't be nervous." Xiang Ping said.
Brother Zhong looked at it, sighed, put the gun down, and sat down directly.
Li Lu walked in and looked at the layout of the room, a very small room, except for a single bed and a desk, only the corner against the wall was full of ingredients and condiments, exuding a strange smell.
walked up and collected Brother Zhong's pistol, Xiang Ping put the gun away, dragged a chair and put it opposite Brother Zhong, and then stood aside. He stands in a very special position, not only being able to shoot at the intruder at the first time, but also stopping Brother Zhong when he has a strange move.
Li Lu sat down, took out a cigarette and gave it to Brother Zhong, helped him light it, then lit one himself, took two puffs, and then said, "Brother Zhong, you are not a soldier in China, are you?" ”
Brother Zhong smiled slightly bitterly, "You see that?" ”
"You don't make a living from this restaurant." Li Lu said lightly, "Since you already know why we came here, let's have a good chat." ”
Brother Zhong shook his head, "There's nothing to talk about. I don't know anything. ”
Li Lu waved his hand towards Xiang Ping, and Xiang Ping put away the three-sided army thorn.
"You don't want to talk, and I don't force you." Li Lu said simply, getting up to leave.
When he walked to the door, Brother Zhong suddenly said, "Xiao Li, wait." ”
Li Lu turned around and sat down.
Brother Zhong took a deep breath and said slowly, "Tell me, who are you?" ”
Li Ludao, "I have already said that we sell cars. My person and my car are gone, and I'm here for that. ”
"I advise you not to look for it, and if you find it, you won't come back." Brother Zhong sighed and said.
Li Lu and Xiang Ping glanced at each other, and Li Lu said, "You just say." ”
Brother Zhong took a few deep puffs of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said slowly......
Note: The second of the plus more is delivered, and the brothers have the right to smash a little ticket for the New Year!
