"I don't know what happened to Hou Peng." Sun Jie looked at the river beside him and asked, "Do you think this river flows abroad?"
"The river in Banna used to be called the Mekong River. This small river..." Bai Song is a serious person: "Wait for me to open the map software on my phone and take a look."
"No, no, just a casual question."
Sun Jie still failed to stop Bai Song. Bai Song opened the map on his phone and after a long time, he concluded: "This river has two junctions and leaves China from the Meng 3 port."
"Then should I take a pee in it?" Sun Jie asked.
“???” Bai Song had a question mark on his face. Was he drinking too much from this bottle of beer?
"Hahaha, I was just kidding you." Sun Jie wanted to see Bai Song's expression. There was no way he would do such a thing.
"Brother Jie, this is the first time I realize that you are a very interesting person." Bai Song said.
"Isn't that nonsense? Everyone thinks that forensic doctors are meticulous and rigorous... Humans are animals that like to add personality to others. But what's the reality?" Sun Jie took a sip of beer: "The people are real, but the personality is fake."
"I suspect you are implying something about certain celebrities," Bai Song said with a smile.
"Don't get me wrong," Sun Jie also laughed, "It's not 'some'."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this," Bai Song said, "I hope Hou Peng comes back well, and comes back like a prodigal son, not wanting to go gambling again."
"That's right. If a gambler comes back, Hou Fangyuan's death will be in vain." Sun Jie knew that generally speaking, after experiencing these things, Hou Peng would never be able to gamble again. However, there are two types of people in this world who are really difficult to change: one is a drug addict, and the other is a gambler.
"I hope so." Bai Song poured some wine into the cup and splashed it directly into the river: "I will send my hope to the flowing water."
"What can I do..." Sun Jie shook his head: "Why should I and you discuss poetry... You think highly of him."
"It may be a bit cruel to say this, but as long as Hou Peng can come back, it will be fine, even if he dies when he comes back." Bai Song looked towards the south.
Hou Fangyuan once said that if Hou Peng was there, no family would come to rescue him. Hou Peng was actually a heartless and ungrateful person. He had divorced early on, and all his relatives and friends had borrowed money from him. He had already been hated by everyone. Even if he returned to China, he would at most go to pay tribute to Hou Fangyuan.
"Then why do you want him to come back so much?" Sun Jie asked.
"I value Hou Fangyuan," Bai Song recalled the scene in the hospital. "You are a forensic doctor. Do you remember how Hou Fangyuan died?"
"Yeah," Sun Jie nodded seriously, "With all his organs failing, it's a miracle that he can survive to get to Beijing."
"Just this matter, I was thinking, he overdrew his body in the last few months, probably to save Hou Peng, and then realized that it was impossible to do so, so he thought of sending the previous intelligence back to us. Such a person..." Bai Song sighed: "Hou Fangyuan really lives up to the old saying, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. If we go by merit, it would be no problem to give him a first-class merit."
Everyone, including Bai Song, knew that Hou Fangyuan's affairs had to be kept secret. He could not be given any credit, and he could not be allowed to return to his hometown to treat his parents and family well. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to proving that Hou Fangyuan had brought a lot of information to the police, and sooner or later someone would retaliate.
At present, everyone outside knows that Hou Fangyuan has returned to China and died, and his body has been buried in his hometown, but in fact no one knows that Hou Fangyuan has been to Shangjing, and no one knows that he has been to the entrance of the department.
"I understand why you came to pick up Hou Peng," Sun Jie then knew Bai Song's true thoughts.
Although Zheng Yanwu paid a great price for Hou Peng to come back this time, since Zheng Yanwu said that he must come on time during that period of time, it means that if no one picked him up at that time, he might be taken back by someone. This also proves that if Hou Peng came back, the people over there would know.
Bai Song saved Hou Peng for two reasons. The first was Director Wei's idea. Hou Fangyuan had been treated badly by the bureau, and he should help Hou Fangyuan fulfill his last wish. The second was that the clues currently used by the Criminal Investigation Bureau must have a public source.
If the source is Hou Fangyuan, then Hou Fangyuan's family will most likely be retaliated against. A thief can never be on guard against thieves, so Hou Fangyuan's family is in great danger. So the source can and only can be Hou Peng.
Hou Peng has few family members now. He has been divorced for a long time, and all his relatives have cut off ties with him. His parents are also gone, and he is a lonely man. If Hou Peng returns to China and starts to clean up Mimei's layout in many places after a while, then everyone will think that it was Hou Peng who brought the news back.
In this case, if Hou Peng dies, it will be over. If Hou Peng is alive and continues to gamble, then let him fend for himself. If he can be a normal person, Bai Song doesn't mind helping him change his identity and live a new life in a new city. Bai Song can already do this, and Director Wei and others will approve it.
"That's why you said that even if Hou Peng's body is in ruins, even if Hou Peng dies when he comes back, we still have to pick him up." When Sun Jie said this, there was an inexplicable smile on his face.
He originally thought that Bai Song was just a simple brotherhood, and only wanted to help Hou Fangyuan fulfill his last wish, so he used Zheng Yanwu's connections and relationships to get Hou Peng here at such a high price. But now he understood that Bai Song wanted to make the next big operation of the entire Criminal Investigation Bureau justifiable and protect Hou Fangyuan's family!
Because only Hou Peng can attract the attention of those people in X area.
This way of thinking already shows the embryonic form of a great leader!
"No wonder you hope Hou Peng can come back so much." Sun Jie was still thinking about Bai Song's plan and said to himself.
"Yes, his return has solved the dilemma. When Hou Fangyuan returned to China, he brought back such important clues. I guess his mind was full of that belief. He didn't consider his family at that time, but we can't help but consider it, otherwise..." Bai Song picked up the fish with chopsticks and shouted, "Boss, heat up the grilled fish. It's cold."
"Eat quickly, you've been busy talking," Sun Jie handed Bai Song a few skewers of meat.
…
The next day, the two went to Na Town Police Station in the morning.
Today is Saturday. Normally, there wouldn't be many people on duty, but the director and the instructor were there specifically to welcome Bai Song and the others.
"Director Bai, don't worry. We are very familiar with the border area and will definitely make arrangements. It's dirty and messy there, so you don't have to go there. Just wait in our station or at the hotel, and we will send the person over to you." The director said directly.
"It's okay, let's go over and take a look," Bai Song said, "My suggestion is to go there early, three hours in advance."
"Everything has been arranged over there," the instructor said, "Don't worry."
"Okay, I'll come over at seven in the evening and take your car. Is that convenient?"
"That's convenient. We'll wait for you here." The director said, "It's only morning. Do you have any plans for lunch?"
"Don't worry about us, we'll go around the city, and call me if they come back early." Bai Song still didn't like being arranged to eat, so it would be better for him and Sun Jie to find a small restaurant to eat some local food. Of course, he couldn't drink a single beer today, because he had a mission today.
"Okay, my phone is always open, you can contact me anytime." The director nodded.
Bai Song and others chatted for a few more sentences and then left the police station directly.
The police station here is different from the one in Tianhua City. There is an anti-corruption squadron inside the police station. The rest is similar, also decorated in red and white. Bai Song left here, and the director and the instructor chatted in the back: "He is too young... If I didn't know he was a policeman just by the way he spoke, I would have liked to see his police ID..."
The director was waiting here after receiving a notice, and Bai Song and the other man were not wearing uniforms, so when they first arrived, the director almost thought they were not leaders.
"Yeah, that Director Bai, is he 30 years old? I'm 51 and only a deputy section chief," said the instructor.
"What's the matter? Do you still want to be a regular officer?" the director said with a smile.
"Ha, that's not what I want to think about. We only have a few section chiefs in our branch..." The instructor smiled awkwardly. You know, the director of the county bureau is a deputy director, because he is the deputy county magistrate, and the director himself is only a section chief.
"That Director Bai, I think he is only in his 20s... The younger he is, the more attention he should be paid. I think he is very capable. Okay, you should go home and have a rest, and come over early in the evening. Answer the phone." The director arranged.
"Well, see you tonight."
Bai Song had no idea that they were still discussing after they left. Their main task today was...
shop.
That's right, just shopping.
Considering that Liu Shuyuan and others may be here for a long time on the case in the next few months, and perhaps Bai Song and Sun Jie will also come here, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment.
This type of case often takes a long time to handle, and requires a base to be established in the border county for long-term stationing.
In the 2011 Mekong River "October 5" case, the Ministry of Justice's Anti-Corruption Bureau directly sent people to the border counties, and the case took nearly a year to handle. The number of people involved in this case handled by the Criminal Investigation Bureau will only be greater.
The southern country in winter does have a completely different feeling. The sun is very strong and it is still a bit hot to stand directly in the sun, but it is very cool under the shade of trees.
There is an ancient city here, so the two of them strolled there. The vegetation here is basically white pine, which I have never seen before. I took some photos and stopped in front of a pot of succulents.
The succulent plant in front of me hangs down from the two-meter-high wall and grows to more than one meter long. It is very beautiful.
"Is this succulent?" Bai Song was stunned. How much could this be sold for in the succulent market in Beijing?
"Is that so?" Sun Jie was also a little surprised. Where in the north can you find such good succulents? But here, they just grow on the wall.
"It really broadens my horizons to be out here," Bai Song felt that he was really narrow-minded after only walking for an hour.
He had been to the south before, and to southern Xinjiang Province many times, but he had never been so leisurely and leisurely.
"You are too rigid and don't have any hobbies." Sun Jie said, "I told you yesterday that you should do some hobbies when you have time."
"I'm OK, I can play basketball." As they walked, Bai Song and the others saw a basketball court. It looked very new, and it should have been built by the government in recent years. "Would you like to play basketball?"
"It's too sunny. I won't play." Sun Jie shook his head.
"Okay, I won't fight anymore."
"Why are you hitting them? They are just a bunch of kids. Are you bullying them?" Sun Jie complained, "The problem is that I rarely see you playing basketball at work."
"I really don't have many hobbies, not as many as you do," Bai Song said, "I sometimes like to look at case files in the archives room."
"Your hobby... is fine, you two are similar in this aspect." Sun Jie thought for a while and said, "How about we play basketball for a while?"
…
After a day of strolling, the two arrived at the police station on time at seven o'clock in the evening. There were two police cars ready to go. The two sat in one car, the driver was the station chief, and the other car was occupied by several police officers from the police station. They headed to Meng 3 Port together.
The journey was only about 30 kilometers and the road condition was good, but there were a lot of cars passing by, so it took more than 40 minutes to get there.
There aren't many people here at night, but there are still people going through customs. The lights are on and it looks very lively.
After watching outside for a while, Bai Song couldn't see anything because there were too many people around. Then he understood what the director meant.
The port is not as small as imagined. The port currently handles nearly 1 million tons of cargo a year. Although it is not as large as some large ports, it is not as small as a small town. It still requires a lot of people to guard it.
Every vehicle entering the country must undergo security checks, and there are police dogs here. Generally speaking, it is a streamlined operation, which is very convenient.
Old Zheng hadn't sent any message to Bai Song. Judging from the situation, the time would not change. Bai Song, Sun Jie and others just kept waiting here. It was not until after ten fifty that they gradually started to get nervous.
At this time, you can see a car on the other side of the port trying to pass through customs quickly, and someone is chasing it from behind. Bai Song asked without thinking to let the car in quickly.
Soon, and fortunately, the car carrying Hou Peng successfully entered the port and our territory. There were people on the other side shouting something that Bai Song couldn't understand, and it was a bit far away so he could basically not hear it. In short, it was useless.
Bai Song and the other man went straight to find Hou Peng. The driver also crossed the border illegally. Credit should be given to him and he should be punished. However, the driver was not ambiguous at all. He directly hoped that the police would take him away quickly. Then he told Bai Song that he wanted to be detained in another place because he was afraid that he would be bullied in the detention center here. Bai Song agreed immediately.
Hou Peng was lying on the back seat, his body covered in blood, but he looked okay and his face looked normal.
"Doctor," Bai Song saw the doctor running over here, so he handed Hou Peng directly to the doctor, and the other driver temporarily took him back to the house at the port. There was no need to deal with him in a hurry now.
About ten minutes later, Bai Song learned that Hou Peng was not in any danger of life. Bai Song then felt relieved. What he had promised to Hou Fangyuan had been mostly completed.
