Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 64 Zhou Tong Detective Series III: Paper Burner (23)
"Team leader, Yan Yongjie's signal suddenly disappeared! And... and through satellite images, we found that a violent explosion occurred at the location where she last appeared... We lost contact with her!"

"What did you say?" Sun Yaoming, who had always been steady and calm, lost his composure and dropped the coffee cup on the ground.

Five hours later...

A helicopter hovered above the valley, and dozens of special police and firefighters kept busy on the ground, but the foundation in the valley had sunk, and no entrance could be found.

"Yan Yongjie! Zhou Tong!" Sun Yaoming shouted loudly, completely losing his former composure.

"Team leader, maybe... maybe they're not here." The valley is full of collapsed mountains, which is very dangerous. A member of the special criminal investigation team stepped forward to grab Sun Yaoming.

"They must be here. They finally received Yan Yongjie's GPS signal. This is the location!" Sun Yaoming shook his head, and continued to shout while vigorously turning over the stones on the ground.Hope for a miracle.

"But this level of explosion..." The team member wanted to say something more, but seeing Sun Yaoming's red eyes, he finally stopped talking.

Three months later...

The landslide in the valley was finally cleared up, the tunnel was re-opened, and 23 corpses were found nearly [-] meters underground, all of which were burned like coke, but two of them were the most peculiar.The two bodies were stacked on top of each other, face down, the upper body hugged the lower body tightly, and it took a lot of effort for the cleaners to separate them.What is even more puzzling is that a piece of cloth was found under the two corpses. The cloth was well protected and had not been burned. There were five words written in blood on it: Hongye Orphanage.

A week after the cloth was found, the police took action and searched the Hongye Orphanage, where they found a large amount of drugs and arrested the director of the orphanage.After searching and interrogating, the police obtained a large amount of information, and all the truth was finally revealed.

This drug gang used Wuzhai's location in the deep mountains and jungles and local superstitions as a cover, colluded with some police officers, and engaged in drug development and trafficking for a long time.The drugs produced in Wuzhai are first transported out of the jungle through the so-called "dead corpses", hoarding drugs to the Hongye Orphanage in a remote suburb, and then using the special identity of the Hongye Orphanage as a cover to transport the drugs to the market for sale .At the same time, this drug cartel also cooperates with Kun Sha, a big drug lord in Jinshanjiao, to develop new drugs. How miraculous, in order to get the "Book of God's Gu", he subsidized Wuzhai a lot of money.Ten years ago, the people of Wuzhai brutally destroyed Daqing Village for the map of the "Book of Gu Gu".After several years of hard work, although they found the place, they were blocked by the "zodiac lock".In order to crack the "zodiac locks", Wuzhai tried his best, but there was still no way.However, they found out that someone from the family known as the "Lock King Family" had seen the "Twelve Zodiac Locks" and successfully cracked the "Twelve Zodiac Locks".Two years ago, the people in Wuzhai finally found the person from the "King's Family", that is, Zhou Tong.In order to learn more about the situation, Wuzhai arranged for "Ai Chen" to approach Zhou Tong.However, he never expected that Zhou Tong and the police were inextricably linked, and he assisted the police in solving several major cases, and even the Russian mafia fell into his hands.The people in Wuzhai wanted to force it, but after learning about these things, they had to set up a trap carefully, hoping to trick Zhou Tong into opening the "twelve zodiac locks" for them.

In late autumn, golden leaves are scattered all over the Cemetery of Martyrs.Sun Yaoming was wearing a black windbreaker, holding white chrysanthemums in his hands, stepping on fallen leaves, and walked slowly in the cemetery.Finally, he stopped in front of a tombstone, bent down, put the bunch of beautiful chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone, and bowed deeply three times.Sun Yaoming had already forgotten the taste of tears, but when he stood in front of the tombstone, he suddenly tasted it again.

There are only two simple lines on the tombstone:
Zhou Tong (1988.6—2007.10) Yan Yongjie (1982.12—2007.10)

Together, they uncovered the truth with their lives.

Sun Yaoming let out a long sigh. He not only sighed for the two lost young lives, but also worried about the recent number of people who lost their lives because of taking new types of drugs.Although Wuzhai was destroyed in one fell swoop, a new type of drug with peculiar toxicity and great harm has flowed into the black market in large quantities.Once addicted to this drug, it will be out of control. If you don't continue to take it, it only takes three days for the addict to die in great pain.This kind of drug called "candy" not only appeared in China, but also became popular in various places abroad. So far, the international medical community is still helpless in the treatment of patients who take "candy".

In the birch forest far from the cemetery, a young man in a hat and a woman in a black veil are watching all this.

"It's really rare to see Old Man Sun shed tears for the first time!" The young man said with an exaggerated expression while lowering the hat on his head.

"Would it be too much for us to do this?" Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly, there was a little anxiety in her tone.

"You don't want to be soft-hearted at this time. To find the real mastermind behind the scenes and the 'candy' antidote to solve the problems we are facing now, we must do this. We must not let so many people die in vain!" The young man Be firm.

The woman sighed and said, "Zhou Tong, do you understand the consequences of what you did?"

"I know very well." Zhou Tong turned around, raised his head, and stared into the woman's eyes. There was a deep scar on his face, but his resolute and brave face remained the same.

The woman nodded, "We have already died once, since you must persist, I will take another risk with you!"

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the woman's black veil was rolled into the air, revealing a scarred face, but even this could not conceal her beauty.

"Yongjie, let's go, let's go to the 'Golden Triangle'!" Zhou Tong held Yan Yongjie's hand, and slowly led her out of the birch forest.

Section 24 Golden Triangle

The "Golden Triangle" is located in a triangular area in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because this area is rich in opium and other drugs, it can be said to be the main drug producing area in the world, and the "Golden Triangle" is famous all over the world. The scope of the "Golden Triangle" includes Shan State, Kachin State in northern Myanmar, Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, northern Chiang Mai Province, Luang Namtha Province, Phongsali, Oudomxai Province in Laos, and western Luang Prabang Province , a total of more than 3000 large and small villages and towns, with a total area of ​​19.4 square kilometers.Since most of the "Golden Triangle" area is located on high mountains with an altitude of more than [-] meters, the climate is hot, the rainfall is abundant, and the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for the growth of poppies. In addition, the jungle is dense, the roads are rough, and the traffic is blocked. The governments of the three countries are beyond their reach. Poppy cultivation provides unique conditions in politics, economy, geography and climate.

In order to fight against the government and protect their own opium cultivation, the local residents armed themselves.Among these armed forces, the largest is the Kunsha Group on the former Myanmar-Thailand border.They have a strong, military-trained armed force of nearly 3000 men.This unit is dressed in military uniform, equipped with sophisticated weapons, and has rich combat experience.

In November 1993, the Burmese government army began to launch an offensive against the Mengtai armed forces led by Kunsha, and successively occupied some strongholds in Kunsha.At this time, Kun Sha was old and began to have no desire to fight. At the age of 11, Khun Sa had expressed his willingness to surrender to the Burmese government. On January 61, 1996, the Mengtai armed forces led by Kun Sha began to surrender to the government. By the 1th, a total of 5 people had surrendered to the government, and a total of 18 light and heavy weapons were handed over, including surface-to-air missiles.On the same day, he attended the surrender ceremony held at his headquarters in Hongmeng.Since then, Kun Sha lived in seclusion in Yangon.

On October 2007, 10, Kun Sha died of diabetes and emphysema at his home in Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, at the age of 27.

In a secluded corner of a tavern on the China-Myanmar border, Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie faced the information about the "Golden Triangle" and Kunsha without saying a word.

Yan Yongjie took a sip of the local rice wine in the cup, then frowned slightly, obviously she couldn't get used to this strange taste.

"Your wound hasn't fully healed yet, so it's best to take a few sips less." Zhou Tong spoke in a low voice.

Yan Yongjie ignored this, but drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and finally couldn't help asking, "Kun Sha is dead, and his organization has surrendered to the Burmese government, even though they have funded Wuzhai before. , but we came to revenge because of this? What's more, now that Wuzhai has been completely destroyed, is it necessary for us to take the risk to come here?"

"Believe me, although Wuzhai is destroyed, they are still being used by people. The real behind-the-scenes figures are here, and the medicine to cure the drug 'candy' must also be here!" Zhou Tong said without doubt.

"I believe in you, that's why I have done so many things with you, but now you must explain clearly to me..." Yan Yongjie became a little excited.

Zhou Tong immediately held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you now."

"Okay, then I'll be all ears." Yan Yongjie broke away from his hand a little angrily, and then leaned back on the chair.

"Do you remember what 'Ai Chen' said in the underground abandoned military base?"

"Of course I remember, she said that they are also controlled by people, but what clues can this sentence provide us?"

"While you were treating your wounds, I rushed to the orphanage ahead of time and took out some things." Zhou Tong still had the same virtue as before, always doing things in his own way, obviously he was going to steal things, but he just said he was taking things.

When Yan Yongjie heard what he said, she immediately remembered that before the big explosion that day, she had been in a coma for several days due to excessive bleeding before waking up, and when she woke up, she found that she was already lying in a private hospital.

"What did you steal?"

"Account books."

Saying that, Zhou Tong took out a small blue and white notebook from his pocket.

Yan Yongjie opened the small book, and there was a dense record of numbers and explanatory text line by line, all of which were the time, quantity, location and method of drug transactions.Relying on her professional instinct, she read line by line, and the more she read, the more frightened she became. She had never heard of the huge amount of drugs traded and the strange way of trading.

When she saw the last line, she gasped even more.

"This...the time and place written on it is not today...is it here...you want to..."

Zhou Tong nodded honestly without waiting for Yan Yongjie to finish speaking.

"According to what we know now, Wuzhai is just a domestic stronghold of a certain drug syndicate in the 'Golden Triangle', so we must dig out the big cancer behind the scenes to truly solve this case. But your police It is impossible to take action across the border, so I set up a scene of our suspended animation, so that the two of us have the opportunity to carry out this operation."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Secret!" With a relaxed expression, Zhou Tong stretched out his index finger and gently touched Yan Yongjie's lips.

Yan Yongjie was about to lose her temper because of Zhou Tong's mysterious appearance, but when she looked up, she found a hunchbacked old man walking swayingly.

"Pigs eat piglets." The old man said softly as he passed Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie's table.

"Ducks eat duck eggs." Zhou Tong replied in a neutral voice, facing the old man's back.

The old man stopped immediately when he heard the words, took a few steps back, and whispered in Zhou Tong's ear, "It's raining and windy."

"Fish that slipped through the net." Zhou Tong's voice was hoarse and deep.

These lines are all recorded in a small book, and Zhou Tong has already memorized them by heart.

The old man turned around and took a look. He had never seen this young man with a scar on his face before.

After staying for a while, the old man looked at Yan Yongjie who was sitting opposite Zhou Tong, and then said softly, "Come with me."

The old man took Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie out of the tavern, and walked slowly along a path by the mountain.

This road is very secluded, and when you go to the back, there is basically no way to go, but to drill into the dense jungle.The old man was very familiar with the terrain, and led the two of them to turn left and right, going forward and backward, and advancing and retreating freely in the jungle maze.

The three of them walked for two hours in the jungle on the China-Myanmar border, and the sun was about to set, making the jungle a scarlet color.At this time, a mottled stone tablet appeared in the jungle. Zhou Tong pushed the weeds on the stone tablet to see that it turned out to be a boundary tablet.Obviously, if you go any further, you will enter Myanmar.

Still without saying a word, the old man crossed the boundary marker and continued to walk forward.Yan Yongjie who was on the side wanted to ask, but Zhou Tong pulled her back, motioning her not to speak.So the two continued to follow the old man into the depths of the jungle.

About half an hour later, in a relatively open place, the old man suddenly stopped.

Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie also naturally stopped, watching the changes.

The old man turned around, suddenly showing a treacherous smile, followed by a dozen big men in camouflage uniforms walking out from all directions in the jungle, each of them had guns in their hands.

"Who are you two?" the old man asked in a cold tone.

Zhou Tong knew that if he said something bad, he and Yan Yongjie would immediately become a hornet's nest.

"We are the survivors of Wuzhai."

"Survivor?" The old man's eyes clearly showed disbelief. He raised his hand, and all the guns were raised immediately, aiming at Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie.

Zhou Tong immediately yelled loudly: "The Book of Divine Gu!"

The old man's face changed drastically when he heard the words, he almost rushed forward and strangled Zhou Tong by the collar.

"What did you say?"

"The Book of Divine Gu, we got the Book of Divine Gu." Zhou Tong said very calmly.

"If you want to survive, immediately hand over the book of divine Gu!" The old man threatened.

"I'm afraid I won't come here. Now that I'm here, I have to take some things back. Are you up to it?" Zhou Tong gently pushed the old man's hand away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The old man didn't expect this humble young man to join his army. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand.

"Take them away!"

Immediately, the four big men stepped forward, handcuffed Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie's hands with iron chains, and then pointed their guns at their backs.

Zhou Tong has always been easygoing, but Yan Yongjie is not used to this kind of treatment, but she is injured, and the strength of the two sides is very different, it is futile to resist, so she has to submit obediently.

After walking for about half an hour, the group walked out of the jungle.On the bumpy dirt road outside the jungle, three military jeeps were parked.

The old man got into the first jeep in front, while Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie were escorted into the middle car.

The three vehicles drove for about an hour along the potholed dirt road, and finally arrived at their camp. At this time, it was already dark.

The camp was huge, but because it was night, Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie couldn't see clearly.There are tall wooden towers around the camp, and each tower has two or three guards with heavy weapons, as well as very dazzling searchlights.In addition, there are some patrolling guards and fortifications scattered around the periphery of the camp.The entire camp is completely in a state of war alert.

After the car entered the camp, it stopped at the door of a bungalow.

The old man explained a few words to his subordinates in the car, then got out of the car, without even looking at Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie, he went straight into the bungalow.

After about ten minutes, the old man came out.

At this time, Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie were also dragged from the car, and then pushed to the old man by two armed men.

The old man's sharp gaze swept across the faces of the two of them again.

"Can I go in?" Zhou Tong said while exercising his muscles and bones. He was nestled in the car for a long time, and coupled with the bumps all the way just now, his whole body was terribly sore.
