Chapter 166 Using a Knife
Twelve hours later, the motorcade at full speed arrived at the outskirts of Lao Cai.
At this time, the situation in Lao Cai has been completely stable, and the state of martial law has been lifted. All kinds of freight vehicles are running on the road. If it were not for the dense sentry points and patrols in police uniforms, it shows that the war that has just ended on this land A "big change", just from the appearance, this place is completely prosperous.
The marauders and warriors were quite eye-catching on the road, and as expected, the group was intercepted by sentries with guns.
But this time, they don't need to wear masks.
Chen Chen directly took out the passes issued by the Wa State and the 7th Brigade from his pocket and handed them to the sentry.
In 2010, the two civilian teams and the Kokang had not yet developed a completely hostile relationship. Therefore, although the team was not allowed to pass with legitimate reasons, it was not too difficult for them.
"Guns are not allowed on the streets in the city now. You should turn around and park your car outside."
"If you want to enter the old street, you have to register even if you have to carry a gun. You are mercenaries."
As he spoke, the sentry rubbed his hands.
Chen Chen took out a wad of US dollars from his pocket with understanding.
He counted out ten cards and handed them to the sentry, and asked:
"Is it enough to carry a pistol?"
"That's enough. Do you want to bring a spear?"
"Is it okay to use a spear?"
Chen Chen asked in surprise.
Logically speaking, Bai Suocheng's control over Kokang was quite strict at this time. He could just carry a pistol concealedly. The long gun was so eye-catching, wouldn't it cause any problems if he brought it in?
"Don't worry about it. As long as we two brothers have a good relationship, we can handle many things."
Chen Chen patted the money into his hand without hesitation. It was a thick wad worth ten thousand US dollars.
——
Don’t talk about whether it’s worth it or not, anyway, it’s going to come back to you in the end?
The sentry grinned. He put the money in his pocket, and then waved his hand. The sentry who had been waiting for a long time immediately brought 5 identity cards.
Chen Chen took a look and thought, Damn, it’s from the Wei family!
He immediately understood what was going on.
After August 8, although Bai Suocheng became the eldest brother, the situation of the decisive struggle was not yet completely stable. Wei Chaoren, who had heavy troops and even a professional artillery battalion, was also ready to make a move.
It was inconvenient for him to continue to stir up trouble and seize power, so he started in hidden places and began to try to control Guo Gang's trade routes.
Since we need to control the trade routes, armed escort is indispensable in northern Myanmar. What the sentry has brought over now is a special pass specially issued to the caravan bodyguards.
As for why he escaped so easily.
This is a matter of management.
After the caravan leaves, the bodyguard's pass must be recovered, right? There are so many of them out there, it’s impossible to verify each one one by one.
This also gives the front-line executives the opportunity to pluck out the most scraps from the fingers of the big boss.
Corruption has penetrated deep into the bones - no, it should be said that corruption is the rule here.
With people like this, do you expect them to bring a bright future to Kokang?
But stop talking about it now.
Chen Chen took the pass and distributed it to everyone in the team. Then, he continued to ask:
"Can the car be driven in?"
"Then there's really nothing we can do."
said the sentry frankly.
"Understood, then let's stop outside."
Following the guidance of the sentry, the group of people found what he called the "parking lot". Don't tell me, the place is quite formal. In addition to their marauders and warriors, there are also escort vehicles from other caravans here. Stop and rest.
After all, it is an important port.
Chen Chen didn't think much and asked Li to help Shi Dakai and Bai Gou stay on guard while he took Bao Qi into the old street.
This can be said to be the most northern-like place in the entire northern Myanmar. In Chen Chen’s vague memory, he walked through this small town countless times when he was young, and even ran to Yanglong Village. Sneak across the border to visit Nanxian.
——
Of course, when he was a child, the customs and customs of Nanxian, a small border town, were not much different from those in Lao Cai.
It can even be said that it is still slightly behind.
Chen Chen still remembers that it was very prestigious to live on the old street at that time, because it meant that this family was really rich.
But things have changed in recent years. With the rapid development in the north, Nanshan has quickly widened the gap with Laojie. After 2020, the gap between Nanshan and Laojie Yanglongzhai has become even more serious. It's like the difference between urban and rural areas
There is no way, the potential brought by the background is just so different.
When you walk into the old street, you will see a lot of casinos - or hotels.
Looking at the tourists walking through the entrance of the casino, Bao Qi opened his mouth and said:
"Why are there so many people? I thought that after Bai Socheng came to power, he would also suppress the casinos."
"How is that possible? These people want to make quick money, and gambling instead of drugs is the only way out. Do you really expect them to engage in agriculture, industry, and mining? How many years will it take for that thing to pay back?"
"Sure. But it's too dark."
Bao Qi sighed, his eyes flickering.
black?
Chen Chen shook his head.
The darker ones are yet to come.
The headquarters of electronic fraud is still in Cambodia and has not yet begun to move to northern Myanmar.
Wait until 2012 or 2013, when the real darkness begins.
"Let's go, forget about it, go to your house first!"
"good."
Bao Qi immediately followed Chen Chen. His legs were still not very convenient, but he had basically no problem moving. He could still run in an emergency.
The two of them walked forward quickly, bypassing the pedestrian street in the center of Laojie, and after passing Anfu Park, they came to a small farmyard located on the north side of Laojie County and on the edge of the county.
At this time, Bao Qi's family in this small courtyard had already left - but the excitement did not diminish at all.
Because someone has already occupied this small courtyard.
Just like the small courtyard occupied by the Dongfeng Corps in Mengka.
But at least the house is still fine and was not destroyed by an IED.
"It's not someone you know, so there's no need to go in."
Bao Qi opened his mouth and said:
"Even if my parents left any clues, they are definitely gone now. Leader, retreat, don't be recognized by the people around you."
"Okay, let's go."
The two of them turned around and left without hesitation, without any unnecessary movement.
In fact, the reason why they came here was to try to fill in the missing parts of Lin He's intelligence, but since there is no chance now, there is no need to force it.
——
As for the plot of retrieving important tokens from the old house?
Bao Qi left too many things at home, and they were too precious.
However, nothing is more valuable than his life.
Therefore, he didn't miss it at all.
The two walked out of the old street again, met up with the people left behind, and continued towards the arch.
The closer he got to Gongtang Village, the more nervous Li Gang looked. Chen Chen gave him a comforting look and said:
"Don't worry too much. According to Lin He's information, at least your mother and your sister are safe."
"I'm worried something else will happen."
Li Bang's voice became deeper and deeper. His hand held the AA-12 tightly, the bullet was loaded, but the safety was not turned on.
Chen Chen frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He glanced at Shi Dakai, who shook his head slightly.
Some things, if you don't bump into them on the spot, just pretend they didn't happen.
In more than an hour, the convoy arrived at Gongtang Village along the mountain path. After contacting Lin He via radio, the latter rushed to the entrance of the village to greet them.
It was impossible to enter the village with great fanfare. Chen Chen found a place to park the car, and then he took Li Bang and Lin He to the village with the three of them still behind.
Gongtang is a typical small town in northern Myanmar. Although it is called Gongtang, it is actually divided into two parts: "town" and "village". The one in the valley is a very small mining town, and the one on the hillside is , is a real rural area engaged in agricultural activities that relies on this small town to survive.
Li Bang's home is next to the terraces on the hillside to the west of the arch. According to him, there are only three simple yellow mud houses, and the surrounding environment is not complicated. According to Lin He's pre-explored route, there will not be too much. Big risk.
The three of them walked all the way through the forest, and in less than 20 minutes, they had already seen the house.
"What's the specific situation? How are people coming and going, social situations?"
Lurking in the grass, Chen Chen asked Lin He.
"More. More complicated."
Chen Chen frowned and continued to ask:
"Why is it complicated?"
Lin He didn't answer immediately, but in fact, he didn't need to answer.
Because, at this moment, a man walked over from a distance and walked towards Li Gang's "home".
He walked frivolously and stumbled, as if he had drunk too much. He was still yelling something, but from the distance between the three of them, it was impossible to hear the specific content.
Chen Chen glanced at Li Bang beside him and said decisively:
"Let's go, follow!"
The three of them advanced silently and followed the man.
The man had already reached the door of the earthen house and was knocking hard on the door.
The door of the Tsuchiya opened, and two women with a similar height difference came out.
Later, one of them returned to the room, brought out a plastic bucket, and seemed to want to go out.
But at this moment, the man grabbed her neck and dragged her towards the door without paying any attention to her struggle.
Li Bang's eyes were splitting, and his steps immediately changed from brisk walking to running. Chen Chen handed the CS/LS 2 behind Chen Chen to Lin He, and then ordered:
"Peripheral alert. If anyone comes, tell them to retreat. If you don't listen, shoot them to death!"
"clear!"
Lin He answered immediately.
Afterwards, Chen Chen sprinted to follow Li Gang and ran quickly towards the Tsuchiya.
It only took them ten seconds to reach a distance of less than a hundred meters.
And when Gang Li kicked the door open, what appeared in front of them was a clichéd but completely reasonable scene.
The middle-aged woman was kneeling on the ground crying, while the girl was already pressed on the bed.
The clothes on her upper body had been torn, and the man was riding on her body. The pistol on his waist clearly indicated his identity.
Chen Chen rushed forward quickly, and when the man was alerted by the huge movement and wanted to reach for the gun on his waist, he hit him in the chest with a side kick. The crackling sound of broken bones was heartbreaking, and Chen Chen's movements But he didn't stop.
He grabbed the man's right hand that was holding the gun and yanked hard, throwing him off the bed.
Then, using his inertia, he stood up and bent the man's right hand, dislocating the entire arm in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the same process followed for the left hand.
The man who was hit hard on the chest could not make any sound at all. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was stiff and shaking on the ground.
At this time, the two women who were frightened had not reacted at all.
It wasn't until Li pulled the sheet over his sister to cover his exposed skin, and then pulled off his mask that his sister's eyes finally widened when she saw his face.
She wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her hoarse throat.
Li Bang's mother was also stunned. Seeing that she was about to shout out, Chen Chen immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"Don't make any noise! I'm a friend of the Li Gang!"
The woman struggled for a few times before she finally reacted. After she nodded, Chen Chen finally let go.
"Son."
A weak cry escaped from her throat, which contained suffering that could not be expressed in words.
Chen Chen did not delay Gang Li's reunion with his family. Instead, he bent down, pulled the man aside, and then dropped his pistol.
The latter's chest had become dented, and his heart was compressed to the point that he completely fainted.
However, thanks to Chen Chen's masterful rejuvenation method, he finally woke up.
"who are you"
At this time, Chen Chen's appearance was extremely terrifying, with a thick body armor, 4-eye night vision goggles, goggles, and a pure black mask.
Although the man was a soldier, he had never seen such complete equipment in his life.
Even Ang Ting Ling, the big man in Myanmar who led all the events in Kokang, and the guards around him are definitely not like this.
The smell of killing and death was extremely strong, and the man's body trembled again, and this time, it wasn't just because of pain.
It's fear.
Chen Chen looked into his eyes and said:
"How did the other two people in this family die?"
"It's not me! It's not me!"
"I didn't do anything!"
The man screamed in panic, but his voice sounded funny because of the severe injury to his chest.
"I'm just taking advantage. Everyone is the same, everyone is the same! I'm not the only one!"
"I drank too much. I didn't want to touch the little one. I really didn't think about it."
Before the man finished speaking, Chen Chen's FN57 was pressed against his head.
"Shut up."
"What do I ask and what do you answer?"
"Which troop are you in?"
"I am the Border Guard Battalion Kokang Border Guard Battalion."
Border guard camp, Bai Suocheng's newly reorganized soldiers.
Like the police force, they are all teams reorganized by the Allied Forces and defected to Lao Burma.
Chen Chen's eyes did not change and he continued to ask:
"Who moved these two women?"
"I didn't move the little one! I didn't move! I don't know!"
The man shook his head violently, and the answers to some questions that Chen Chen didn't ask were actually obvious.
Yes, two women can survive. Why?
In Kokang, in the war zone, they were treated as family members of deserters.
Gang Li had already raised his gun. Chen Chen glanced at him and continued to ask:
"Who else is coming?"
"I don't know, I really don't know too much."
Li Bang opened the safety, and Chen Chen grabbed the muzzle of his gun.
Afterwards, Chen Chen said:
"Use a knife."
