Chapter 270 Don't Leave when You Come
More than half a month later.
Golden Triangle area.
The sun hangs obliquely, and the clouds are steaming.
An army green jeep ran over the muddy ground, and hens foraging nearby flapped their short wings to avoid it.
Behind the half-person-high grass next to them are thatched cottages. Men with rifles patrol back and forth in the corridor under the eaves. From time to time, they pick up binoculars to look at the intersection in front of them.
Lin Yue looked out through the car window, and there was a stockade in the basin surrounded by mountains, with a house built of planks and iron sheets in the middle, and a watchtower, a firepower point made of sandbag piles and straw sheds on the outside.
In June 1996, the "painter" led people to attack the Marin guerrillas, resulting in 82 deaths and 157 injuries. Their leader "general" also died in this battle.
What Lin Yue didn't expect was that after 2 years, the Marin guerrillas revived, but the scale was slightly reduced.
"The new leader of the Marin guerrillas, Bai Sha, was the chief of staff of the 'General'. When the 'Painter' attacked the stockade, he was outside negotiating business with people, and he escaped by chance. After the 'Painter' withdrew from the Golden Triangle, he actively recruited the guerrillas. The rout of the army, the treatment of the wounded, and thus gaining support to become the successor of the 'General', leading the village and also taking over the business of the 'General'."
Sitting in the driver's seat was a thin man with intricate golden patterns embroidered on the front of his short-sleeved shirt.
His name is Danto, and he was hired by a drug lord in the north to transport opium. He was attacked by unknown armed men when he was escorting the drugs to the trading site. Danto was unfortunately captured on the way to escape, just when the other party was about to execute him on the spot. Lin Yue appeared and saved his life. Because he came to Marin to transport opium a while ago, in order to repay Lin Yue for saving his life, he volunteered to be a guide.
"There are more than 3,000 villages in the Golden Triangle region, more than half of which rely on opium cultivation for their livelihood. Drug lords from all over the country purchase raw materials from farmers, and make white powder in factories and sell them to North America, Australia and other places. After the death of the 'General', the Marin guerrillas There was a time when business was bad, and there were rumors of soldiers defecting to neighboring villages with weapons. You know, it costs a lot to keep an army.”
Danto glanced at Lin Yue, who was sitting in the co-pilot: "Until the end of last spring, the situation of the Marin guerrillas suddenly improved. There were rumors that Baisha had found a benefactor, and the other party not only gave him a large sum of money, but also With a lot of business resources, this was the only way to overcome the difficulties and stabilize the situation, and those villages that were eager to annex the Marin guerrillas also died down."
Lin Yue didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
There is an old saying that snakes have snakes, and rats have rats. The Golden Triangle is restricted by geography and political situation. People in the villages rely on opium cultivation for a living. Drug dealers, big and small, have their own spheres of influence. They buy opium and process it into drugs and sell them all over the world. .
Faced with this situation, no matter how much the police forces invested by the governments of Laos, Burma, and Thailand can only suppress for a while, they cannot eradicate crimes. You have to live off this business.
Five minutes later, the jeep stopped in the middle of the stockade.
Danto jumped out of the car, clasped his hands together and bowed his head to the guard standing under the eaves of the wooden house next to him. At this moment, a man in a blue jacket and a military cap walked out of the room. People wink.
Two soldiers came over and searched Danto and Lin Yue. After finding no weapons, they opened the car door and checked the cockpit in detail. They turned around and said a few words to the man in the blue jacket.
"follow me."
After confirming that the two were not threatening, the visitor led them to the wooden house.
Lin Yuexin said that after experiencing the "painter" incident, the people of the Marin guerrillas were much more vigilant, but... for him, is such a security measure useful?
The incense burner in the living room of the wooden house exudes a faint sandalwood fragrance. Bai Sha, wearing a white jacket and trousers, holds an agarwood bracelet and sits on a chair opposite the long table. There are a pot of cups and several fruit plates in front of him.
"interesting."
He just glanced at Danto and stopped paying attention, turning his eyes to Lin Yue: "A policeman dares to come to the Golden Triangle alone, do you think his life is long?"
Lin Yue smiled, pulled the chair on the other side of the long table and sat down: "I won't say anything meaningless. I came to the Golden Triangle this time to talk to Mr. Baisha about the 'painter'."
Bai Sha made a gesture to the man in the green coat who was very displeased with Lin Yue's behavior.
Lin Yue said: "I want to know about the counterfeit banknote expert kidnapped by the 'General', that is, Miss Wu Xiuqing."
Baisha smiled: "Why should I cooperate with you? What can you give me?"
"I think the 'painter' is still alive. As a member of the 'painter' group, Wu Xiuqing's past may be helpful to the investigation."
"Officer Lin, do you have some misunderstanding?" Bai Sha took a sip from his teacup, "'The Painter' is my benefactor, you want to arrest him and ask me for information. It's in your eyes."
As soon as Lin Yue did not respond to these words, Danto was dumbfounded.
When Baisha gathered the Marin guerrillas and defeated them, the slogan they used was to kill the "painter" and avenge the "general" and the dead brothers. He also announced to the world that whoever could take the head of the "painter" would be rewarded with 200,000 US dollars. Now, to actually say that the "painter" is his benefactor, isn't...isn't this a slap in the face?
Had he known this, killing him would not have sent Lin Yue here.
"That's right." Lin Yue picked a grape and threw it into his mouth: "If the 'painter' doesn't kill the 'general', you won't be able to sit in the chair opposite, avenging the 'general' and the dead brothers Yes, it’s just a rhetoric to buy people’s peace of mind.”
Bai Sha put down his cup: "You still dare to come here knowing that?"
"You have to try your luck, in case you are a kind and righteous person."
"Hmph, are you scolding me?"
"Don't dare." Lin Yue said: "This is your territory, how dare I, a foreigner, be presumptuous."
"As long as you know."
"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Lin Yue got up: "Since Mr. Baisha is not interested in arresting the 'painter', there's not much point in talking about it, so let's do it and leave."
Baisha didn't even move, and glanced at the gradually darkening sky: "It's getting dark, the road is difficult, why don't Officer Lin rest here for the night, how about leaving tomorrow?"
"Good intentions." Lin Yue said as he walked outside: "I'm still used to sleeping on my own bed."
"stop!"
Hearing a yell, the man in the green coat at the door drew out the gun in his waist and pointed it at Lin Yue: "You want to go, why don't I send you on your way!"
The guard standing in the corridor outside also changed his expression and looked into the house.
Danto's face was pale, and his body was trembling constantly. He managed to survive before, but unexpectedly, he came out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den. This white sand is really deceiving...
The changes in everyone's facial expressions and psychology are complicated, but in fact it was only a moment. The moment the man in the green coat drew his gun, Lin Yue stepped on the toe of the rubber shoes worn by the man in the green coat, taking advantage of the pain of his opponent. Breaking his arms, he clasped his index finger holding the gun and pressed it.
Boom~
Boom~
Two consecutive shots fired, and the two guards standing in the corridor were shot and fell to the ground.
At this time, a soldier ran over from the corridor behind Baisha. Lin Yue pinched the man in the green coat by the neck and pushed him forward, turning counterclockwise, taking advantage of the opportunity to move his hand holding the gun back.
Ah~
While the man in the green coat screamed, two bullets were fired from the muzzle of the gun, one bullet hit the chest of the opposite soldier, and the other bullet hit the forehead.
In the next breath, Lin Yue pushed the man's leg in the green coat with his foot, pulled his shoulder and twisted it. The muzzle of the gun moved horizontally, and fired two bullets at a soldier running from the side.
The fourth soldier was shot and fell back. The AK rifle in his hand fired a row of bullets into the sky. The eaves were beaten and sawdust flew. Danto was so frightened that he sat on the ground covering his head and screaming.
Bai Sha was very confused, he didn't expect his secretary-general to be the gun stand of the police, but he quickly came back to his senses, turned around and ran away.
At the same time, Lin Yue threw a flash bomb and two smoke bombs outside the house, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he watched Bai Sha run backwards.
How did Fa Ge's version of "painter" do in the movie?
It seems so.
Boom~
A tongue of flame spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and Baisha was shot in the ankle, his right leg went limp, and he fell to the ground. He took a deep breath, endured the pain, got up and continued to run back.
bark...
The smoke spread rapidly, covering the militants who had heard the sound.
Lin Yue pointed the muzzle of the gun at the man in the green coat and pulled the trigger, fed the last bullet in the magazine to its owner, then pulled Danto out from the side corridor and got under the wooden house.
"Ah... ah..."
Every time the militants who came from outside fired a shot, Danto hugged his head in fright and growled.
"Stop barking."
Lin Yue kicked him hard.
Danto looked back in pain, and saw the things in Lin Yue's hand with the last gleam of light before nightfall, he was stunned.
