When A Snail Falls in Love

The sun was sweltering and scorching the earth. On the endless wilderness, the woods and grass gently moved with the wind. There seems to be only two colors between heaven and earth, blue washed like water on top of the head, and lush green underfoot.

A train came from behind the distant mountain, and the dull roar broke the silence of the wilderness.

This is the second day the task force entered Myanmar.

After arriving in Yangon, the capital of Myanmar yesterday, officials from China and Myanmar met.

The purpose of China is not to arrest Lu Ge, but to take away the entire cross-border criminal group headed by her. So today the task force took the special train to Kachin State where the Ge Ge criminal group might be prevalent.

Kachin State is equivalent to a province in China. The local army exercises armed independence and self-government. Therefore, in addition to two police officers, the Myanmar **** also has a senior local officer in Kachin State. He brought two battalions of soldiers along the road. Escort the task force.

The train leaves at noon and is expected to arrive the next morning.

It was calm all the way.

——

The night came slowly, only the sound of the train roaring through the fields. Sporadic lights began to appear ahead, and had reached the countryside around Kachin State.

The task force has a total of eight men and two women, as well as a 35-year-old female official of the Ministry of Public Security, named Chen Yalin, who is mainly responsible for liaison with the Myanmar side.

The two ladies live in a soft sleeping box. As soon as it was dark, Chen Yalin had washed and slept early. Xu Xu read the book for a while, and took the towel and toothbrush out of the box and walked to the bathroom.

The box door next door was not closed, the lights were blazing, and the chatting of the men was still very warm. Xu Xu heard the sound and looked up, just to see Ji Bai sitting in the lower bunk, facing the door. Hearing the movement, he glanced at her and continued to chat with others.

There was no one in the bathroom. Xu Xu heard the footsteps just after brushing his teeth. Looking up, Ji Bai appeared in the mirror, holding toiletries in his hand, and his face smiled slightly.

Since boarding the plane, the two have not had the opportunity to be alone, nor have they spoken much. For a moment, Xu Xu continued to wash his face and said, "Why don't you have to accompany me tonight?"

Her tone was particularly sparse and ordinary, but Ji Bai's mouth was slightly raised, and her deep, mellow voice smiled: "Xu Xu, I didn't do anything yesterday."

Xu Xu was slightly embarrassed.

She can open her mouth and say love to her brother~ love makes him speechless; but the obscure sentence of Ji Bai makes her feel uncomfortable.

My brother is right, she is a little girl outgoing.

"Why did you decide to come again?" She changed the subject and the director announced that he did not intend to come that day.

Ji Bai didn't answer. She closed the bathroom door with her backhand, put the bathroom utensils away, pulled her into her arms, and kissed her firmly.

Still have to ask? This trip is so bad that he will not affect the overall situation. Not to accompany her.

——

Ji Baiqian tasted it, and it didn't take long for her to put her back in the box.

The train was bumpy and Xu Xu slept unsteadily. Suddenly, I suddenly felt that the car stopped suddenly, there were dense footsteps outside the window, and there were still people shouting in Burmese.

She and Chen Yalin immediately sat up alertly and lifted the curtains to see-the car was parked on a small platform, the outside light was extremely bright, and it was a military searchlight. Many soldiers walked around the platform with guns, at least dozens of people looked.

The people in the task force all walked out of the box and stood in the dark aisle, watching the movement outside the car alertly. Xu Xu and Ji Bai were separated by a few people, and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

The soldiers outside the car gathered more and more, almost three steps and one whistle, and surrounded the car.

After a few more minutes, Burmese officials came over.

The situation quickly became clear. It turned out that although the Kachin State was under the unified jurisdiction of the commander of the independent army, the following armies were mixed, and they often fought hard. In the small town ahead, two brigades clashed and it is likely that they would open fire.

The Kachin officer who accompanied the task team was named Tissa, a 27-year-old young man with dark skin and handsome eyes. Through an interpreter, he appeased everyone: "Please be assured that our car has a flag representing the commander-in-chief. They dare not offend. Now they are surrounded by the car, just want us not to intervene in the matter in front. You all go back to sleep." I also added the sentence in jerky Chinese: "Okay." It means the situation is okay.

But despite what he said, the other two Myanmar officials looked nervous. This made everyone in the task force uneasy. Chen Yalin frowned and said in Burmese: "I'll follow you up to see." An old policeman said: "I'll go with you."

Chen Yalin nodded, turned around and said to Xu Xu: "You stay in the carriage and lock the door." After that, the two followed Burmese officials and Tissa to the front of the carriage.

Xu Xu wouldn't be nervous. She read the Myanmar documents before she came. The commander-in-chief of Kachin is very prestigious; and there has never been a Myanmar army and dare to mobilize Chinese officials. Who wants to annoy a powerful neighbor? And it’s useless to be nervous.

She turned into the box, locked the door, and lay back on the bed. The baton that you carry with you is on hand, just in case.

Ji Bai watched her walk in and returned to the box with the others.

The car has been quietly docked on the platform, and the light outside the window is still bright. The men looked out the window at first, but there was no movement. After a while, it was suggested that each car should be assigned to watch the night and take turns sleeping. Everyone agrees-to really have something to do, maintaining physical strength is the most important thing.

Then someone remembered and said, "Xu Xu will be alone next door."

Ji Bai stood up: "I'll go."

——

Ji Bai walked to the door of Xuxu's carriage and listened to it with his ears, quietly inside. He smiled slightly-fell asleep? The little guy is always so calm, so that his boyfriend is useless.

In fact, Xu Xu wasn't asleep, she was dozing off, and she would observe the situation outside the car after a while.

But Ji Bai didn't want to disturb her, lit a cigarette, leaned on her car door, looked at the dark sky outside the window, shaking light and shadow, and stood still.

At night there were sparse or dense gunshots, and the red light faintly illuminated the sky. Ji Bai heard that the car behind him was still quiet, and his mood seemed to be calm. He handed a pack of cigarettes to the young soldier on the platform outside the carriage. The soldier grinned and gestured to him. He understood it for a long time. The soldier said that the dawn would retreat, reassuring him.

——

When Xu Xu wakes up the next day, it was just dawn, the train was already flying straight on the smooth railway, and there were sparse farmhouses and villagers holding cattle on both sides. Chen Yalin has returned, sleeping soundly in the opposite shop. It seems that the crisis has been completely lifted.

Xu Xu got out of bed to wash. When he passed Ji Bai's carriage, he looked up subconsciously. Ji Bai and his colleagues were sitting by the bed eating instant noodles. When she saw her, she smiled faintly.

——

The train soon reached its destination-Muba Town.

Gelu people haven't been in Muba Town, the task force came here first, the reason is a bit complicated.

Because it is in a foreign country, Chinese police officers do not have the power to enforce the law. They can only act as “observers” and carry out operations with the Burmese side. But Myanmar’s attitude is actually a bit subtle. They said that most of the criminals are Chinese, and they do not know the criminal facts of these people. So they are willing to cooperate with the arrest, but only if there is evidence of the crime of these people.

Therefore, at this stage, the most important task of the task force is to collect criminal evidence and submit it to the Myanmar side, which will carry out the arrest operation.

The Gelu Group’s notorious crime in the country is human trafficking. According to the evidence provided by the Guangdong Police Department, a considerable number of Burmese women they trafficked came from Muba Town. Therefore, the task force hopes to visit the victim's family and obtain direct evidence. This will also give Burmese greater motivation-because the victims are all Burmese.

——

From the station to town, there are two hours drive. Tisza transferred a military truck and carried the crowd. The soldiers ran forward. The mountain road was muddy and bumpy. Everyone was sitting in the back compartment of the car without talking, and some people closed their eyes.

Ji Bai sat next to Xu Xu, reaching out and rubbing his tired brow. Xu Xu whispered: "Did you sleep well yesterday?"

Ji Bai glanced at her without answering the question: "What about you?"

"I'm ok."

"That's all right." He said headlessly, leaning his head against the car wall, closing his eyes and not talking. After a while, he tilted his head and leaned on Xu Xu's shoulders. Xu Xu raised his head to see that no one noticed here, adjusted his sitting posture, and sat straighter, so that he could lean more comfortably on himself.

Ji Bai lowered his head and raised his lips slightly invisible: Wife, yesterday I was with you for another night.

——

The town of Muba is adjacent to the river. There are several big boats running on the river bank, and many simple sheds stand along the river. The cottages are gathered behind the river embankment, scattered and dense. In the hot air, there is a touch of watery smell, but also the sweetness of sugar cane.

According to information available to the task force, at least 20 young women in this village have been trafficked into China. Because this group of rescued Burmese women is still handing over with the Burmese side. The task force held paper materials and visited several of the families.

There was a discovery soon.

Although several supporters said that her daughter only went out to work, she didn’t know anything and refused to talk again; but there were also four families who were crying when they saw photos of their daughters in China. After identification, the two young people in the same town introduced their daughters to work, and then went back.

Evidence and material evidence are all there, and God seems to have helped the task force. Soon, according to the clues provided by the villagers, Tissa, with a platoon of soldiers, raided a restaurant along the river and successfully captured the two traffickers. Two Chinese were arrested together. Identified by a villager, the two also appeared in the village. On one occasion, they took the Burmese girl directly to China.

The people in Tisza didn't like the Chinese police's civilized law enforcement. They grabbed four people and knelt in front of the restaurant. After a beating, they were escorted back to the task force for collection. This achievement made the team excited. The project leader is a deputy department-level cadre named Sun Pu, and he is happy to say to everyone: The first day is a good start. Be sure to maintain this momentum and crack down on the Gelu Group.

——

Because it was already evening, the task force decided to stay in Muba Town for one night, and continue to visit the surrounding villages tomorrow morning. At the same time, the interrogators were interrogated overnight to obtain more clues from the Gelu criminal group.

As the night grew darker, the remote village was silent, and only Tissa's soldiers sat on the open space in front of the cottage, drinking loudly and loudly.

In the narrow and simple farmhouse, the dim light illuminates the prisoner's face extremely tight. Ji Bai and several other senior criminal policemen tortured them separately. But these people were extremely stubborn and said nothing.

However, everyone in the task force is a veteran of the field. They are very patient and continue to consume with them!

——

At three o'clock in the morning, the soldiers outside the house fell over and slept directly on the grass land. From time to time someone reached out and patted the mosquitoes on his face, swearing in Burmese.

Ji Bai and Chen Yalin interrogated a young Chinese. Although he hadn't confided in anything, his energy seemed to be out of control, his fat face trembling slightly, and sweat on his forehead oozed out. Ji Bai and Chen Yalin looked at each other.

Seeing that he was almost captured, suddenly a loud and loud footsteps came from outside the house. Both Ji Bai and their heads looked cold.

"Bang" the door was pushed open, and it was a platoon leader under Tissa who spoke an angry series of Burmese.

Ji Bai stared at him, and Chen Yalin's expression changed greatly: "Ji Bai, he said that several villagers who provided clues today were all beaten by people, and now they are all kneeling outside and asking for our confession."

——

It was dark like fog, and the wind blew the woods around the village. When Ji Bai and others rushed outside, many soldiers were already awakened and surrounded a dozen villagers who were kneeling in the middle of the open space.

The villagers who were still old and clean in the daytime, now all have swollen noses, blue faces and swollen shirts, some of them have blood on their heads, and they are wrapped in cloth indiscriminately; some of their eyes have been beaten and bleeding, and they look terrible.

The crowd cried in horror in Burmese, only their voices in the open space, all Chinese personnel and Burmese soldiers were quiet.

Chen Yalin and Burmese officials appease for a long time before they figure out two things from their mouths:

1. Tonight, five or six gangsters came to their homes and threatened after the violence. If they continue to testify, they will be killed as soon as the task force and the soldiers leave. Even if their daughter is rescued, they will be sold to Southeast Asia to make chicken, which is even worse than it is now.

2. The gang asked them to tell the ad hoc group: the Chinese do not fight the Chinese. The security situation in Myanmar is not very good. If the investigation continues, the task force will inevitably have any personal accidents.

After listening, the team leader Sun Pu bluntly said: "The Chinese who go to your mother don't hit the Chinese!" The other criminal policemen also got angry: "Dogs~ The arrogance of the day!" "This bunch of grandchildren!"

The soldiers sent by Tisza to chase back quickly said that when they arrived at the village entrance, their car had already gone away and no traces were seen.

Ji Bai pondered for a while and said to Sun Pu, "Sun Hall, I suggest leaving two people to appease the witnesses and obtain the portrait of the criminals from the witnesses at the same time; then **** the prisoners to Yangon and continue to interrogate; the rest of us immediately Along the road, follow-up arrests. And asked Major Tissa to leave a team to temporarily protect several witnesses."

Sun Pu thought for a moment and nodded: "According to what you said, it is not too late to get on the bus." After glancing at the week, and just about to dispatch people, Ji Bai said lightly: "Xu Xu followed me." Xu Xu Answer: "Yes, Master."

——

The situation was urgent. Most of Tissa's people stayed behind. Other Burmese officials also escorted the prisoners back to Yangon. Tissa brought a dozen people in person and followed the task force.

Originally, Tissa also had doubts about the tracking of the task force-because the prisoner had been away for several hours. However, when he saw Ji Bai and others accurately positioning according to wheel marks, footprints and maps, he couldn't help but admire China's criminal investigation ability and admired the five-body cast.

The truck drove for half an evening on the mountain road. At dawn, Tisza found several cars.

Ji Bai never rested and drove a car in person. Xu Xu and two soldiers sat in the back row. After a few hours, he changed hands with a middle-aged soldier and sat next to Xu Xu.

Ji Bai held her hand and asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Xu smiled slightly: "It's an opportunity."

Ji Bai also smiled.

Xu Xu said: "This group of people is very arrogant and their words are unrealistic. It is likely that the younger members of Lu Ge's criminal forces were newly recruited after being attacked in the country, so he would act so boldly. Lu Ge We have always been cautious, and we know nothing about her criminal gang members in Myanmar. This group of people poked out such a basket, but instead gave us a chance to follow suit."

Ji Baidan laughed: "Sun Hall is right, today is the real starter."

After a while, Xu Xu asked softly, "Did you stay outside my box last night all night? Actually it's not necessary."

There was no movement beside him, and when he turned around, Ji Bai was tired and fell asleep on the back of the chair.
