CHAPTER XX
In ancient times, if there was a general who could succeed in a battle, he could rein in the marquis and be crowned a wife and son.
On the contrary, although they have been fighting horses all their lives, it is difficult to ensure that they will not end up with blood spilled on the frontier and returned with horse leather wrapping.
In fact, the same is true for the police.
Jingnan City is located on the border of country M, and belongs to Yunzhou Province in terms of administrative division of country M.
The city of Jingnan is also a small border town with beautiful scenery.
One of the important reasons why it is so beautiful is that its slow development rate has not affected the proportion of green in its city, which is already close to 80%. The pine and cypress are hidden between the lake and the mountains, which makes people yearn for it.
The city of Gyeongnam is also an exotic city.
As one of the first important cities on the mainland border of country M to open to the outside world, Jingnan City is bordered by land with Ram Prabang city in country L to the west and Suphan Buri, the central city of Anna Chad province in country T, to the south.
Therefore, the city of Jingnan, which is already located in the hinterland of the border of the three countries, has naturally become an important center of border trade in country M. Not only are there indigenous citizens of country M, but also a considerable number of businessmen from countries L and T will settle here all year round. Different countries and different cultures are intertwined and collided here, creating a unique urban style of Jingnan City.
Although the transportation of Jingnan City is not convenient, it is precisely because of its unique geographical location that it has become one of the most famous tourist cities in country M in just 20 years.
The provincial boundaries in the west and south of Yunzhou Province are also the national borders between countries M and L and T. As the only provincial-level administrative region with a national border in the southwest of country M, Yunzhou Province also has unique climatic environment and geomorphological characteristics.
Yunzhou Province, located in the western Yunnan Plateau, has a predominantly subtropical and tropical monsoon climate. The temperature difference between the four seasons is small, and most of the time it makes people's bodies feel very sticky.
At the same time, the topography of Yunzhou Province is decreasing in a stepwise manner from northwest to southeast, and the topography of the eastern part is gentle. In the west, there are mountains and valleys, and the terrain here is steep, which directly creates the unique, strange and majestic mountain glacial landform of country M.
But because of this, although Jingnan City has a paradise-like cityscape and scenery, it has always been trapped in the western part of Yunzhou Province because it is located in the western part of Yunzhou Province due to the huge influence of many factors such as temperature, topography, and transportation, which directly leads to the fact that the permanent population of Jingnan City has not been very large over the years.
In such a highly mobile city, the sparse permanent population means a shortage of police personnel.
Historically, Country L was a true colony. Nowadays, under the influence of historical problems and geographical location, country L is still one of the least developed countries in the world, and the country can only focus on agricultural development, and the foundation of industry and service industry is relatively weak.
However, although country L is a landlocked country, it is rich in water resources. At the same time, it is also the main production area of teak, pear and other precious woods.
Country T is the opposite of country L.
Because of the relatively liberal and loose economic policies, the economic development of country T is very fast. Now country T is not only a new industrial country in the world, but also one of the world's famous tourist destinations. Manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, electronics and automobiles are highly developed.
Bordering two countries at different extremes means both opportunities and risks for the city.
Eight years ago, the city was far less prosperous than it is now.
Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed in eight years is the Silk Street.
Silk Street is located in Weinan District, the western suburb of Jingnan City, and has the reputation of "the first street of border trade" in country M.
To this day, the street is still full of merchants, and on both sides of the street are vendors from countries L and T selling everything from their own countries.
There are also many out-of-town tourists who squat in front of the stalls to carefully select their favorite items, and occasionally raise their heads to gesture to the vendors in the opposite country L or T to ask for the price.
In the eyes of these tourists, it is easy to buy goods from neighboring countries, which can be regarded as a way to go abroad in disguise.
Time is the best medicine in everything, and it will dilute everything in the end.
When it comes to Jinghua Group, there may be some impressions of the slightly older Jingnan people.
Twenty years ago, when Jingnan had not yet been withdrawn from the county and changed to a city, Liu Jinghua, chairman of Jinghua Group, had already become the first person in country M to try to do border trade business. At that time, many protection policies and compliance rules were not perfect, so Liu Jinghua's business was booming.
Country T is the world's largest producer of Buddha statue products. For decades, the handicraft level of Buddha statues in country T has been among the highest in the world. At that time, there were many temples in country M, and there was a great demand for Buddha statue products, but there was no production process. Liu Jinghua seized this opportunity to take advantage of the unique geographical location of Jingnan City to buy semi-finished Buddha statues from country T, return to China to be colored and gilded, and then sold all over the country.
Liu Jinghua tasted the taste of getting rich overnight.
Later, with the opening of border trade in country M, the laws, regulations and various policies became more and more mature, and Liu Jinghua's business began to struggle.
After all, one way to ensure a steady supply of goods in those years was through stealth transportation. To put it bluntly, it's smuggling.
In less than a few years, Liu Jinghua, who has become accustomed to spending money lavishly, quickly lost all the assets of Jinghua Group.
Finally, on an early morning after the rain, Liu Jinghua jumped off the rooftop of a 20-story mansion in a celebrity community. When the body was found, the brains had dried up on the ground.
And across the street from his corpse is this bustling trade Silk Street.
Later, Liu Jinghua's wife sold all the remaining family property, and after burying Liu Jinghua hastily, she left Jingnan with her children and disappeared.
The old site of Jinghua Group's company was bought by Qian Muyong, the owner of the Yangtze Group in Jingnan City.
Yangzi Group is a star enterprise in Jingnan City, which started with medicine. The boss, Qian Muyong, used to be the director of the office of the Jingnan Pharmaceutical Administration and Supervision Bureau. Qian Muyong, who saw the opportunity at that time, resolutely gave up his iron job as a civil servant and actively started a business, relying on a strong network foundation and previous work experience, so that Yangtze Pharmaceutical has become a partner of major tertiary hospitals in Jingnan City from the beginning of its establishment. In the past three years, Yangzi Pharmaceutical has even achieved continuous profit listing, something that Qian Muyong never dared to think of before.
As the pharmaceutical industry continues to rise, Qian Muyong, who has made a lot of money, has gradually begun to extend his tentacles to other industries. As a civil servant, he is well aware of his strengths, one of which is the complete and smooth implementation of customs procedures.
Binh Giang province borders Yunzhou province to the east and is one of the closest provinces to Yunzhou province.
Despite this, the distance between Tanigawa, the westernmost city of Binh Giang province, and the city of Gyeongnam, in the west of Unju province, is more than 800 kilometers.
This is the third month that Su Ruo and Sun Meng have joined the Tanigawa City Criminal Police Team. Early this morning, they received an order from Director Zhang Lei, asking them to follow Luo Fei, the captain of the Guchuan City Criminal Police Team, to Jingnan City, 800 kilometers away.
didn't have time to ask more, the two of them immediately packed their backpacks and followed Luo Fei to the airport.
On the plane, Su Ruo and Sun Meng briefly learned the basic situation of the case in Jingnan City from the captain Luo Fei.
Hearing Luo Fei mention that Professor Gong Yansong, a criminal investigation expert from the Ministry of Public Security, was also on the way to Jingnan with two forensic experts from the ministry, a trace of heaviness appeared on the faces of Su Ruo and Sun Meng.
The body was found in a shipping container. It was Wu Sheng, a customs broker from Jingnan City, who called the police.
Wu Sheng's daily work is to be responsible for unpacking and inspecting all containers entering country M through Jingnan Customs, and verifying that the contents are correct before releasing them into the country.
At a quarter past 10 o'clock this morning, five containers entering the country L arrived at the container yard of Jingnan Customs.
Wu Sheng and two colleagues set out to unpack the boxes for routine inspections. Just as they were checking the fourth box, something unexpected happened: a men's leather shoe rolled out of the innermost part of the box.
These boxes contain rosewood imported from country L. The appearance of a leather shoe made Wu Sheng look up vigilantly.
A human with blurred flesh and blood, with broken legs, loomed in the full pear blossom wood. A female colleague in the same group screamed on the spot when she saw this. Seeing that more and more customs officers were coming to the container from all directions, Wu Sheng signaled everyone to protect the scene and took out his mobile phone.
When Luo Fei arrived at the scene with Su Ruo and Sun Meng, the body had been dragged out of the container and put on the ground by the forensic doctor of the Jingnan City Bureau. A cordon has also been enclosed at a distance of about 20 meters around the container. There are many police officers standing on the third and outer three floors outside the cordon, responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
In addition to Wu Sheng and another male colleague who were left at the scene, including the female colleague who was greatly traumatized, and others have returned to their respective posts under the comfort of the police.
The medical examiner at the Jingnan City Bureau was busy taking pictures at the scene.
The corpse was about 1.70 meters tall, and was wearing a really good floral shirt, which was already stained with blood. The lower body is a pair of jeans that have been worn to a white level, the left leg is broken from the upper third of the knee, only the flesh is connected, and the blood on the surface of the thigh has coagulated. But the bones of the white flowers were still exposed.
Judging from the face of the corpse, it should be a native of T country.
The scene gradually calmed down after the commotion just now.
Luo Fei stepped forward to communicate with Zhu Sicheng, the captain of the criminal police team of the Jingnan City Public Security Bureau, who had arrived at the scene in advance.
Su Ruo raised his left hand and twisted his chin, looking at the corpse in front of him fixedly. And Sun Meng, who was beside him, was holding his cheek with his right hand, constantly rubbing his face repeatedly.
After a while, Su Ruo's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Sun Meng. The corners of Sun Meng's mouth were slightly upturned, and he also raised his eyes to look at Su Ruodao: "Did you also see that shiny thing?" ”
