The days in the Myanmar store were not as easy and comfortable as others seemed. It was like traveling to a foreign country. Only Liu Wenbo and other members of the filming crew could understand the hardships involved.
Because Kokang is very poor, even though they interviewed "Chairman" Peng Jiasheng and had a good relationship with Peng Jiasheng in private, the material conditions that could be provided to them were indeed quite scarce.
A shabby two-story building, each room had an old-fashioned ceiling fan that creaked when in operation. In this extremely hot and humid environment, they overcame the effects of acclimatization and extreme weather. During the day, they followed the Kokang Allied Forces or government departments to various places in Kokang for interviews, and at night they returned to their residence to organize materials together. When the Kokang area encountered the busy farming season, the local soldiers went to work in the fields, and they followed them to work in the fields.
Liu Wenbo accidentally discovered Zhou Renfa's whereabouts when he followed a small boss from Kokang to Manbang to do business. His camera mainly records that in a multi-ethnic country like Manbang, especially a country that has just experienced the baptism of war, it is still relatively difficult to expand business from one state to another.
In order to shoot the footage well, Kokang also sent two plainclothes soldiers to protect them along the way. Under the camera's record, this small boss traveled hundreds of kilometers with the flower cakes from Kokang area and finally arrived in Mampang.
After filming the last shot, everyone thought it was over, but unexpectedly, the young boss chuckled and told them that he was going to the casino to have some fun and asked if they were interested.
Myanmar is a country where gambling is legal. Many men, except women, like to try their luck in the casino when they have some spare money. This small boss is no exception. After he felt that he had some money on hand, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind. What if he got lucky this time and won money? After returning to Kokang, he could build a house.
Liu Wenbo and his colleagues discussed it and thought it would be interesting to shoot this scene, so they decided immediately.
In the casino, Liu Wenbo met Zhou Renfa, but Zhou Renfa was not the owner of the casino, but just a gambler who spent money lavishly.
There were four or five thugs surrounding him, all of whom had shrewd looks on their faces and did not look like good people.
He originally wanted to keep a close eye on Zhou Renfa, but not long after Liu Wenbo filmed the shot of the young boss, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhou Renfa was missing.
He was so anxious that he searched everywhere in the casino, but he couldn't find Zhou Renfa's whereabouts.
When he came to his senses and rushed to the door, he found that Zhou Renfa had already gotten into the car and left.
"Do you know that boss?" Liu Wenbo quickly asked the doorman at the casino entrance.
The doorman said nothing, staring at his waist bag with red eyes.
After dealing with the Burmese people for a long time, Liu Wenbo also knew the nature of these guys. If you don't give them some benefits, no one will pay attention to you.
Seeing this, he quickly took out a thousand-yuan Myanmar Kyat note and threw it to the doorman.
“I don’t know that boss.”
When Liu Wenbo heard this, he wanted to slap this guy twice.
However, the next sentence made him excited.
“But this boss comes here often.”
For those who have never been to a casino, it is a place where all kinds of people gather. However, for gamblers, a casino is definitely a safe place, especially after winning money. Sometimes the boss will arrange for armed personnel to escort them out.
Liu Wenbo naturally couldn't do anything to Zhou Renfa in the casino, but he decided to come to Manbang for a while after the filming was completed.
The filming days were over soon, and most of the team members returned to Hong Kong, except Liu Wenbo who asked for leave to stay. He decided to go to Manbang to investigate some specific clues about Zhou Renfa.
After waiting at the casino for less than two days, Zhou Renfa finally showed up.
After Zhou Renfa entered the casino, Liu Wenbo followed him in and wandered around. Seeing that Zhou Renfa was having a great time, he did not stay there for long, but walked out of the casino.
It was already late at night outside. Liu Wenbo found a secluded place outside and stared at the BMW in the parking lot. That was Zhou Renfa's car. He didn't understand why Zhou Renfa had accumulated so much wealth in such a short time when he had obviously fled to Myanmar Store like a stray dog.
Liu Wenbo was very puzzled by this question.
After watching outside for more than an hour, the others might have been a little tired, but Liu Wenbo was still very excited. Finally, accompanied by a burst of talking coming from far away, Zhou Renfa and his men appeared in Liu Wenbo's sight.
Liu Wenbo quickly checked the time. It had been three hours since Zhou Renfa and the others entered the casino.
Zhou Renfa quickly got into his BMW and drove away.
Liu Wenbo quickly got on a motorcycle and followed behind.
This time he found where Zhou Renfa lived.
Unable to suppress his excitement, Liu Wenbo did not sleep the whole day. At around six o'clock the next morning, he made an international long-distance call and told Yuan Fangguo, who was thousands of miles away, about the situation.
Yuan Fangguo was also very excited when he heard the news, but he still remained sober in his excitement.
In his opinion, based on Zhou Renfa's strength, it was impossible for him to have only one residence, maybe even several.
When Liu Wenbo heard this, he secretly blamed himself for his recklessness and impulsiveness. Yuan Fangguo was right, he should observe more.
"Okay, I'll go and wait there again."
"How long do you plan to stay, Wenbo?" Yuan Fangguo was quite worried about him when he saw that he was alone in the Myanmar store monitoring Zhou Renfa.
"I will naturally return home after I find the pattern. By the way, your two brothers don't need to come." Liu Wenbo said loudly.
Since it takes some time to process passports, Monkey and Big Bear have not yet arrived at the Myanmar store. However, Yuan Fangguo is still determined. Even if Liu Wenbo has accurate information, Monkey and Big Bear still have to go to the Myanmar store.
After Liu Wenbo finished talking to Yuan Fangguo, he soon felt his eyelids drooping because he hadn't rested all night. After being drowsy for a while, he finally fell asleep.
Liu Wenbo didn't expect that three days later, he would be shot.
