Four hundred and ninetieth chapters smuggling
"Is there any danger?" Although he is very skilled and brave and not worried, Li Tianchou still pretends to be nervous and panicked on the surface.
"Don't worry, people are very reliable. Besides, the ports in the north have been temporarily closed. You can't go back and go back to go to Yangon to circle around, right? We are not treason, just for convenience." Old Man Pan disagreed, but was very satisfied with Li Tianchou's performance.
"Okay. I just want to see more scenery and don't want to cause trouble."
"Yeah, you young man is worse than me, as old man. According to you, Chinese working overseas are scared every day?" Old Man Pan smiled indifferently, but his smile contained undisguised sarcasm, "This, this, the alley is over."
Two people stopped in front of a low bungalow. After Lao Pan looked around, he reached out and knocked on the wooden door. In a short while, he heard the sound of kicking footsteps in the house, and stopped abruptly at the front of the door. Then for a while, there was no movement.
Old Man Pan stood patiently with his head held high, while Li Tianchou remained silent. He knew that the people inside were watching through the door panel, but he couldn't understand why both sides were not talking.
With a creaking sound, the extremely tattered wooden door was opened. Inside the door frame was a short and thin middle-aged man with sunken facial features and even his nose was collapsed, but his eyes were very bright and he looked at the two of them with a cold light.
Old Man Pan folded his hands seriously at this moment and smiled, "Brother Lang, do you still remember me?"
Lang Lu's gaze was slightly restrained, and nodded at Old Man Pan and then stared at Li Tianchou up and down without hiding his vigilance. Old Pan hurriedly introduced, "This is my companion, a very decent young man, go to Myitkyina together."
Li Tianchou smiled at the other party in a friendly manner, but he frowned in his heart. He felt that the words and deeds of the two were very wrong. It seemed that there had been an agreement in advance for this meeting, but Lao Pan showed the meaning of a sudden visit. What do you want to hide this subtle contradiction?
At this time, Lang Lu suddenly grinned at Li Tianchou, then turned around and closed the wooden door and went back to the room.
"This?" Li Tianchou was confused and thought that he had offended Lang for some reason.
"Ah, it doesn't matter, he goes and prepare. We'll just wait here."
Sure enough, in just three or two minutes, the broken wooden door was opened again. Lang Lu came out with a small cloth bag on his back. He changed into a grass-green military uniform, wore the Jiefang rubber shoes commonly known as the country, and a green military cap on his head. At first glance, he looked like a soldier from the 1960s and 1970s, but he didn't have any badges or marks.
In my impression, this outfit seems to be very popular in northern Myanmar. It is like a soldier but not a soldier, and it is like a civilian but not a civilian. It may be due to the years of war or the local material scarcity, which makes people feel strange.
Lang Ku walked in front without saying a word. Old Man Pan gave Li Tianchou a wink and hurriedly followed. In this way, the three of them walked quietly on the small street in the town in the early morning, like ghosts, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
As far away in the CDC, Xu Wen and others were on the second floor of a secret restricted area as if they were seeing the sun again, looking greedily at the ray of morning light outside the window. After being quarantined for a day and a half, everyone except Wu Fang was released. The preliminary conclusion that the unknown biological virus was not infected with was relieved by everyone. In another half an hour, after the final result was released, everyone could leave this terrifying place.
Everyone seemed to be in danger this time, but in fact they were very lucky that Wu Fang was indeed infected with a certain biological virus. Although the symptoms were not serious, the difficulty was that the virus samples were brand new. A new mutated species between sarin and mustard gas invaded the human body through the air with mature spores, causing infection, and the incubation period would occur within two or three days.
The only thing that is thankful is that there is no evidence that people can spread each other, otherwise Xu Wen and others would not be so lucky. However, the emergence of biological viruses indicates a very serious problem. The opponent does not seem to be planning one or two terrorist attacks, but has a bigger conspiracy.
In this way, the direction and tone of the investigation of the entire case will change. Before the superiors have further instructions, the Provincial Public Security Department and the local national security department have taken action quickly and closed and thoroughly investigated the wood factory as soon as possible. At the same time, the local national security personnel will be dispatched to cooperate with the newly arrived field team to enter Mengke.
On the one hand, we combined the case itself and used the breakthrough direction to find Yuan Hua and the other two to conduct a meticulous investigation of the town; on the other hand, we sorted out the reconnaissance trajectory that Wu Fang had taken, focusing on the dragnet-style investigation of the outer part of the town and the Pampa port. The small hotel where Wu Fang had lived had been ordered to close business. After the CDC left, the task force plunged in again.
This series of fast and decisive actions seemed calm on the surface, but they were full of dullness and solemnity, especially when the wooden factory was suddenly seized by the police, the sensitive people smelled the smell of danger. The town was covered with clouds for a while and the storm was about to come.
The police conducted repeated searches of the woodworks factory and did not find much valuable things. The wood carving that Wu Fang mentioned, which resembled a real person, was sealed in a temporary physical evidence room as a dangerous product. Previously, disease control personnel and biochemical experts had carefully inspected the row of small bungalows and extracted hundreds of samples in order to find the active spores of unknown viruses. They are currently under intense testing and identification.
All the personnel in the wood factory were secretly reviewed in the name of "isolation", including the weird old man and the dog.
But the result was not ideal. I couldn't ask about anything from several young workers. They were all locals in the town. I only knew that the wooden factory was originally the Bai family's property. A year ago, I transferred it to a middle-aged man named Qian in the town. Boss Qian still had business in the county, so he had only a few times to go back to the town all year round. Everyone didn't know much about it. The two masters in charge of the factory were the two masters, one named Jiacuo and the other named Buboriman, both of whom were from Jing tribes and were once Bai Tianxiong's apprentices, so I knew very little about the others.
Hao Kecheng, who was in charge of the presiding trial, placed the main attack direction on the weird old man and the two masters, but did not achieve the expected results. The old man was much more difficult than he thought. He looked dementia, and his chaotic eyes were almost squinting. He was half asleep and half confused all afternoon. No matter what angle the question was, the old man could only toss and turns, "I am a poor person. When I was about to starve to death, Director Bai took me in. I was just a guardian."
Judging from the background investigation, it is also very simple. The old man's surname is Lai, and his specific name is unknown. It was about fifteen years ago, when he came to the town from another place, he fainted from hunger at the entrance of the Bai family's house. After being rescued by Bai Tianxiong, he saw that he was pitiful and took him in and asked the old man to be on duty in the wooden factory, supervise the factory, and be an updater.
During the two census, the police of the town office originally wanted to shelter or deport the old man as a foreigner, but the old man was sometimes normal and sometimes stupid. However, even when it was normal, he couldn't tell where his hometown was, so he had to force her to shelter. But soon after, the old man ran back and squatted at the entrance of the Baijiayuan. Bai Tianxiong had no choice but to find someone to apply for a temporary residence permit for him. After a few years, he registered as a permanent population and had a household registration.
Fifteen years is just a general number, because the people in the town really can't remember the exact time, and even Bai Tianxiong himself didn't. But no matter what, Lao Lai has settled in the town. He spends most of his time in the wooden factory, occasionally going around the town, buying a bottle of wine, watching people play chess, and then squatting at the door of the Bai family for a while.
Although his behavior was a little weird, he was not annoying and he had never offended anyone in the town. So, over time, the people in the town accepted him, only knowing that he was a poor old man.
The interrogation performance, the investigation results and the confession were surprisingly consistent. There was no suspicion in the poor old man, let alone the extremely dangerous words mentioned by Wu Fang. Li Zhong was dissatisfied. When he took the old man out of the temporary interrogation room, his fingers pressed against the old man's shoulder blades. The old man's face turned pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a shaking look, completely old and weak. From the feeling from his hands, the other party was only left with bones.
Li Zhong was embarrassed and quickly reached out to support the trembling old man. However, Hao Kecheng suddenly looked shaking, and another person appeared in his mind, Carpenter Fan, who had passed away. There seemed to be no connection between the two, but there was a same number that appeared to string them together. Is it a coincidence for fifteen years?
In other words, fifteen years ago, there were two foreigners in the town, one was Carpenter Fan who married into the family, and the other was a wandering deadbeat. In the end, both of them took root in the town and became half a local. The difference was that Carpenter Fan had a miserable encounter and eventually died of a misfortune, but the Deadbeat remained unknown until the Wood Factory incident broke out.
On the surface, these two people were in the town but had almost no intersection. At most, they nodded and said hello. Is there a deeper contact between the two? Hao Kecheng couldn't easily draw conclusions, but Carpenter Fan went to the woodworks factory more than once late at night before his lifetime, but the result of technical verification was from technical means. The mud marks on the two pairs of rubber shoes were the best evidence.
However, in the future investigation and visits, everyone in the wood factory denied this. Only Lao Lai admitted that he had seen a black shadow wandering around the wood factory while on duty in the second half of the night, but he could not be sure whether it was Carpenter Fan.
