Chapter 145: What's New
The fat man didn't know that I was thinking about my childhood, and said very seriously: "What I told you is true, of course I will try to avoid going to that step, and my scalp will be numb when I enter their base." My plan was to go to their reception for clues. ”
"Wait, what do you say? Reception? "I think something is wrong with my ears. He's an organization that smuggles arms and drugs, and there's a reception? Is this all going to internationalization and formalization?
"I'll explain." The fat man said impatiently: "It takes a lot of effort to talk to a layman." ”
The fat man was about to get mad when he saw my eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "Yes, that's what happened." These arms and drug smuggling syndicates will not let people into their bases easily, they will set up liaison offices in many places, we call it reception, because in this part of the Golden Triangle, familiar guests find liaison offices, they are responsible for food, accommodation and safety. I nodded abruptly, and a question suddenly came to mind. Do they have liaison offices elsewhere? For example, domestic. ”
"Not in Chinese mainland, at least I haven't heard of it. Hong Kong is said to have, not sure, but heard of. ”
"Is it possible that Xiao Guolin contacted these arms dealers through other channels, such as the liaison office in Hong Kong?"
The evil smile on the fat man's face was obvious for a moment, and he said slowly: "He can only contact these arms dealers at the liaison office outside, and it is impossible for him to come to these countries in Southeast Asia." It's too dangerous for him here, and it's unlikely that he'll make it back alive. ”
I looked at him dumbfounded, and said, "You thought of it earlier?" ”
"Didn't you expect that?"
Can I think of it? I don't even know any of this. I suppressed the dissatisfaction in my heart and asked him, "Then isn't it easier for us to get Xiao Guolin's information from the outside?" Why go to Laos? ”
"Qiangzi, how do we know which liaison office Xiao Guolin contacted them through. Also, do you know where their liaison office is? I can find out about Southeast Asia, and I don't have a job to do when I leave here. What about you, do you have a way to find out their liaison office? ”
I thought about it, although I don't know the process of smuggling these arms, let alone their liaison office, it is still possible to find Xiao Guolin's liaison office to contact this organization. As long as this arms smuggling syndicate has not set up a liaison office in China, I can go forward from half a year to find out where Xiao Guolin has been on the entry and exit records, at least determine which city the liaison office of this arms smuggling syndicate is located, and then try to find out the specific address of the liaison office.
It's not appropriate for me to do this, I don't have a suitable identity, but Xiao Ting is not, she can investigate justifiably and seek official assistance. Although it is possible to get information most directly and quickly into Laos, the fat man's words made it clear to me that it was too dangerous over there. It would be better if I just went to the liaison office in Laos, and I shuddered to enter their base.
I steadied myself and said to the fat man, "Well, let's not make a decision yet." We haven't contacted Jack in a long time since we called Jack around Jingxi. Let's ask about the situation over there first, and then decide on the next step. If there is breakthrough news or big moves over there, we will immediately return to China and go to Xinjiang to meet them. If there's a stalemate on their side, we'll go into Laos for clues. ”
In fact, I want Xiao Ting to immediately start investigating Xiao Guolin's entry and exit records. But I think Jack's side must be inseparable from people, they are at the front of the incident, of course not the scene, their position should be at the forefront of the current allowed entry. The latest news may be revealed at any time, and someone must be watching there, so Xiao Ting will have to investigate Xiao Guolin's entry and exit records alone. What I'm worried about is that if Xiao Ting gets Xiao Guolin's entry and exit information, she will take action alone, which will be bad. And it's a big possibility, because we're so short of people right now.
The fat man didn't object, leaned back and said, "That's good, but there is no phone in this village, so let's go out and find a phone." ”
I nodded and said, "Don't hesitate, let's go now." ”
The fat man said, "You wait." "Dropped the two magazines and turned around and ran out. After a while I heard a loud motorcycle engine and the sound of a fat man yelling.
I went out to take a look, and the fat man got a rusty domestic motorcycle. The fat man sat in the car, and I don't know which ethnic costume he was wearing, with two hairy legs exposed under the robe, and two mud-stained flip-flops on his feet. The back seat of the motorcycle is a metal shelf, not manned at all, and there is rust on the metal frame one by one, it seems that something else was fixed on it before, and it has just been removed. The black smoke from the exhaust pipe was about to drown the fat man.
I cursed and rushed into the black smoke and almost choked me to death. Fortunately, the black smoke was left behind when the motorcycle ran, otherwise we would have choked to death before we left the village.
The road was narrow, muddy, and bumpy, and I had to hold on tightly to the fat man so that he wouldn't fly out. The motorcycle sped left and right on the path, and occasionally the terrible screams of me and the fat man could be heard, and the motorcycle made a movement of drifting or leaping. By the time I arrived at a crowded village, I was already exhausted by the motorcycle rally-like trip. It's not your average stimulus.
I walked into a shop with a phone with my legs limp. The fat man is in good shape, still screaming unsatisfied. When I decided to go back, I was driving a motorbike and sitting in the back was too sinful.
It's a simple convenience store with a phone at the counter. The fat man's Burmese dialect is much better than Da Zhang, not only did he quickly negotiate the cost of the call, but he also chatted hotly with the Burmese girl in the convenience store, and the two of them had a very good attitude.
The call went through quickly, and the call quality was as poor as ever. Jack on the other end of the phone shouted a few words and hung up, and it didn't take long for the phone to ring, I grabbed the phone and listened, it was Jack who called back from a landline.
"How did you get to Myanmar?" Jack, who seemed to know the area code for Myanmar, asked the question in his first sentence.
I briefly talked about the situation here, mainly because Xiao Guolin may have been in contact with the arms smuggling syndicate in Vietnam. Of course, I also mentioned Dazhang by the way, there is this character, and there is a statement about the whereabouts of 500,000 US dollars. Of course, I didn't say anything about the merger with the nine-headed bird, and I didn't even mention the kidnapper Liu, but I vaguely said that this side is very dangerous, and I want to confirm the information on his side, and then decide on my side of the action. It was natural to shift the topic to Xinjiang.
First of all, Jack told me that Xiao Ting was not around, and that she had contacted the rescue team with Xiao Guolin's student. After hearing this, my heart finally relaxed. In fact, the rescue team has been disbanded, and the personnel have returned to their respective work units, and they go to the rescue team members to understand the situation, which is equivalent to temporarily leaving the dangerous area.
Then, Jack told me an update. The level of this matter has been raised.
