The sun is hot and scorching the earth. In the endless wilderness, the woods and grass gently sway in the wind. There seems to be only two colors between the sky and the earth, the blue as if washed by water on the head, and the lush green under the feet.

A train ran from behind the distant mountains, and the dull roar broke the silence of the wilderness.

This is the second day after the task force entered Myanmar.

After arriving in Yangon, Myanmar's capital yesterday, officials from China and Myanmar met.

China's purpose is not to arrest Lu Ge alone, but to remove the entire cross-border criminal group led by her. So today the task force took a special train to Kachin State where Lu Ge's criminal group may be occupied.

Kachin State is equivalent to a province in China, and the local army implements armed independence and autonomy. Therefore, in addition to two police officers, the Myanmar accompanying personnel also have a senior military officer in Kachin State. He led two battalions of soldiers to escort the task force along the way.

The train departs at noon and is expected to arrive in the early morning of the next day.

The road was calm.

The night slowly descended, with only the sound of trains whistling through the fields. Scattered lights began to appear in front of them, and they had arrived in the countryside around Kachin State.

The task force has a total of eight men and two women, and a female official from the Ministry of Public Security, named Chen Yalin, who is mainly responsible for field contact with Myanmar.

The two ladies lived in a soft bedroom. As soon as it was dark, Chen Yalin washed up and went to bed early. Xu Xu read the book for a while, then picked up a towel and toothbrush and walked out of the private room and walked to the bathroom.

The door of the private room next to it was not closed, the lights inside were bright, and the men's chatting were still very enthusiastic. Xu Xu looked up and saw Ji Bai sitting on the lower bunk, facing the door. Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes to her and continued to chat with others.

There was no one in the bathroom. Xu Xu had just finished brushing his teeth when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Ji Bai appearing in the mirror, holding toiletries in his hand, and his handsome face had a slight smile.

Since getting on the plane, the two of them have not had the chance to be alone and have never spoken much. After looking at each other for a while, Xu Xu continued to wash his face, and said while washing: "The third brother won't need anyone to accompany him tonight?"

Her tone was very casual, but she told Ji Bai to raise his mouth slightly, and her low and mellow voice smiled: "Xu Xu, I did nothing yesterday."

Xu Xu was slightly embarrassed.

She could talk to her brother about having sex, which made him speechless; but Ji Bai's obscure words made her feel uncomfortable.

My brother is right, she is really a little extroverted.

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

Ji Bai refused to answer, closed the bathroom door with his back hand, put the toiletries, pulled her into her arms, and kissed her firmly.

You still need to ask? Whether he or she does this trip will not affect the overall situation. It is not to accompany her.

Ji Bai stopped after a brief taste, but not long after, he let her back to the private room.

The train was bumpy, and Xu Xu was not sleeping peacefully. He suddenly felt the car stop suddenly, and there were dense footsteps outside the car window, and there were still people shouting in Burmese.

She and Chen Yalin immediately sat up alertly, lifted the curtains and saw that the car was parked on a small platform. The light outside was extremely bright, and it was a military searchlight. Many soldiers were walking around the platform with guns, and it seemed that there were at least dozens of people.

All the people from the task force walked out of the private room, stood in the dark aisle, and watched the movement outside the car vigilantly. Xu Xu and Ji Bai looked at each other with a few people, but didn't say anything.

The more soldiers outside the car gathered, almost three steps and whistled around the car.

A few minutes later, Myanmar officials rushed over.

The situation was quickly figured out. It turned out that although Kachin State was uniformly governed by the commander of the Independence Army, the troops below were mixed and often fought and fought. In the town ahead, two brigades had conflicts and were likely to open fire.

The Kachin officer who accompanied the task force was named Tisa, a young man of 27 or 28 years old, dark skin and handsome eyebrows. Through the translation, he comforted everyone: "Please rest assured that there is a flag representing the commander-in-chief in our car, and they dare not offend it. Now we are surrounding the car, just hope we don't interfere in the previous matters. You all go back to sleep." After saying that, he added in awkward Chinese: "Okay." It means that the situation is fine.

But despite his words, the other two Burmese officials looked very nervous. This made everyone in the task force unable to feel at ease. Chen Yalin frowned and said in Burmese, "I'll go with you to see." An old detective said, "I'll accompany you."

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

Xu Xu would not be nervous. She had read Myanmar information before coming. Commander-in-Chief Kachin was very prestigious; and there was never a Burmese army. Who would dare to touch Chinese official personnel? Who would want to anger a powerful neighbor? And it was useless to be nervous and wasted energy.

She turned around and entered the private room, locked the door, and lay back on the bed. She kept the baton she carried with her in case.

Ji Bai watched her walk in and went back to the private room with the others.

The car was parked quietly on the platform, and the light outside the window was still bright. The men watched the window at first, but they could not see any movement. After a while, someone suggested that each carriage would be sent to take turns to sleep. Everyone agreed that if something really happened, maintaining physical strength was the most important thing.

At this time, someone remembered and said, "Xu Xu is the only one next door."

Ji Bai stood up and said, "I'll go."

Ji Bai walked to the door of Xu Xu's carriage and listened to it. It was quiet inside. He laughed slightly and fell asleep. Is the little guy always so calm that he made his boyfriend useless.

In fact, Xu Xu didn't sleep well, and he was dozing off with a shallow sleep. After a while, he would also observe the situation outside the car.

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

At night, sparse or dense gunfire came, and the red light faintly illuminated the sky. Ji Bai heard that the carriage behind him was still quiet, and his mood seemed to have become calm. He handed a pack of cigarettes to the young soldier with a tender face on the platform outside the carriage. The soldier smiled and gestured to him. After a long time of understanding, the soldier said that he would retreat at dawn, so he relieved him.

The next day, when Xu Xu woke up, it was just dawn, and the train was already running straight on the unobstructed railway. Farmhouses and villagers holding cattle appeared sparsely on both sides. Chen Yalin had already returned and was sleeping soundly in the opposite shop. It seemed that the crisis had been completely resolved.

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

The train arrived at the destination Muba Town soon.

Brother Lu didn’t appear in Muba Town. The task force came here first, and the reason was a bit complicated.

Because they are in a foreign country, Chinese police officers have no law enforcement power and can only act with Myanmar as "observer" and cannot wear guns. However, Myanmar's attitude is actually a bit subtle. They said that most of the criminals are Chinese, and they do not have the criminal facts of these people. So they are willing to cooperate with the arrest, but the premise is that there is evidence of these people's crimes.

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

The Lu Ge Group's notorious crime in China is human trafficking. According to the evidence provided by the Guangdong Police Department, a considerable number of the Burmese women they abducted from Muba Town. Therefore, the task force hopes to visit the victim's families and obtain direct evidence. This can also give Myanmar a greater motivation because the victims are all Myanmarians.

From the station to the town, there is still two hours' drive. Tisa transferred a military card to come over and drove everyone over. The soldiers ran forward. The mountain road was muddy and bumpy. Everyone sat in the back of the car, without saying anything, and some people closed their eyes and slept.

Ji Bai sat next to Xu Xu and reached out to rub his tired eyebrows. Xu Xu asked in a low voice: "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Ji Bai glanced at her and asked back without answering: "Where are you?"

"I'm OK."

"That's fine." He said without thinking, leaning his head against the wall of the car, closing his eyes and stopping talking. After a while, his head tilted and leaned against Xu Xu's shoulder. Xu Xu looked up and saw that no one noticed this. He adjusted his sitting position and sat more straight, so that he could lean on himself more comfortably.

Ji Bai lowered his head and raised the corner of his mouth invisibly: Wife, I have been with you all night yesterday.

Muba Town is adjacent to the riverside, and there are several large ships parked on the river bank that are rushing gold. Many simple sheds stand along the river. The villages are gathered behind the river embankment and are densely packed. In the hot air, there is a faint smell of water and the sweetness of sugarcane.

According to the information obtained by the task force, at least 20 young women in this village were sold to China. Because this group of rescued Burmese women were still handling handovers with the Myanmar side. The task force members visited several of the families with paper materials.

Discovery soon.

Although several families stammered and said that their daughter was just working outside and didn't know anything and refused to talk again; but there were also four families who saw the photos of their daughter in China and cried bitterly. After being identified, they were all two young people in the same town who introduced their daughter to their jobs and then went away forever.

Both the human and physical evidence were there, and God seemed to help the task force. Soon, based on the clues provided by the villagers, Tisa took a platoon of soldiers to raid a restaurant by the river and successfully captured the two human traffickers. Two Chinese were arrested together. After a villager's indication, the two of them had also appeared in the village. Once they took Burmese women directly to China.

The people in Tisa are not like the Chinese police who enforce the law in a civilized manner. They knelt in front of the restaurant with four people, beat them up, and then took them back to collect them. This gain made everyone in the task force extremely excited. The task force leader is a deputy department-level cadre named Sun Pu, and he said happily to everyone: The first day is a good start. Be sure to maintain this momentum and severely attack the Ru Ge 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 criminals were interrogated overnight to strive to obtain more clues from Lu Ge's criminal group.

The night was getting deeper and the village was silent. Only the soldiers of Tisa sat in the open space in front of the cottage, drinking loudly.

In the narrow and simple farm house, the dark lights made the criminal's face extremely tense. Ji Bai and several other senior detectives tortured them separately. But these people were extremely stubborn and did not mention a word.

However, everyone in the task force is a veteran who has been through the battlefield. He is very patient and continues to waste time with them.

At three o'clock in the morning, the soldiers outside the house fell and slept loudly on the grass and soil. From time to time, people reached out to slap the mosquitoes on their faces and cursed in Burmese.

Ji Bai and Chen Yalin interrogated a Chinese young man. Although he had not revealed anything, his energy seemed to be a little exhausted. His fat face was slightly shaking, and layers of sweat were seeping out of his forehead. Ji Bai and Chen Yalin looked at each other and understood that it was almost the same.

Seeing that he was about to be conquered, suddenly there was a scattered and loud footsteps outside the house. Ji Bai and the others were shocked and both looked up.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open. It was a platoon leader under Tisa who spoke a long list of Burmese language with anger.

Ji Bai stared at him, and Chen Yalin's expression changed drastically: "Ji Bai, he said that the villagers who provided clues today were beaten up. Now they are kneeling outside and want to find us to review their confessions."

The sky was as dark as fog, and the wind blew the woods around the village. When Ji Bai and others rushed outside the house, many soldiers were awakened and surrounded the dozen or so villagers kneeling in the middle of the open space.

The villagers who were still dressed in old clothes during the day are now all blue and ragged. Some are covered in blood and are wrapped in cloth. Some are bleeding from their eyes and look extremely ferocious.

Everyone cried in Burmese in fear, and there were only their voices in the open space. All Chinese personnel and Burmese soldiers were quietly.

Chen Yalin and Burmese officials were appeased for a long time before they figured out two things:

1. Tonight, five or six gangsters came to their homes and threatened to continue to testify, and once the task force and soldiers left, they would kill them. Even if their daughter was rescued, they would still be sold to Southeast Asia to make chickens, which was even worse than now.

2. The group asked them to tell the task force: The Chinese do not beat the Chinese. The public security in Myanmar is not very good. If you continue to investigate, the task force will inevitably have some personal accidents.

After hearing this, the team leader Sun Pu swears: "You fuck the Chinese, don't beat the Chinese." Other detectives also became popular: "You are so arrogant" and "These grandsons"

The soldiers sent by Tisa to pursue the people came back soon and said that when they arrived at the entrance of the village, their cars had already gone far away and disappeared.

Ji Bai pondered for a while and said to Sun Pu: "Sun Hall, I suggest leaving two people behind to appease the witnesses, and obtain portraits of this group of criminals from the witnesses; then escort the prisoners to Yangon first and continue to interrogate; the rest of us immediately follow the road and arrest them. We also asked Major Tisa to leave a team of people to temporarily protect several witnesses."

Sun Pu thought for a moment and nodded: "Do as you said, get in the car right away without delay." His eyes glanced at him for a week, and just as he was about to assign people, he heard Ji Bai say lightly: "Xu Xu follows me." Xu Xu replied: "Yes, Master."

The situation was urgent, and most of Tisa stayed in the rear, and other Myanmar officials also escorted the prisoners back to Yangon; Tisa personally brought more than a dozen people and followed the task force.

Originally, Tisa had doubts about the task force's tracking because the prisoner had been away for several hours. But when he saw Ji Bai and others accurately positioning the ruts, footprints and maps, he couldn't help but admire the Chinese criminal investigation ability and admired it.

The truck ran on the mountain road for half a night. At dawn, Tisa found several small cars.

Ji Bai had not rested, so he drove a car himself, and 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 a bit unrealistic. It is very likely that Brother Lu's criminal forces were newly absorbed young members after they were attacked in China, so they act so impulsively and boldly. Brother Lu has always been cautious in his actions, and we know nothing about her criminal gang members in Myanmar. This group of people exposed such a mess, but instead gave us the opportunity to follow the clues."

Ji Bai smiled lightly: "Sun Hall is right, today is a real good start."

After a while, Xu Xu asked softly: "Did you stay outside my private room all night last night? Actually, there is no need."
