The Mekong River is under a violent storm, with fast currents and choppy waves. The law enforcement boats rise and fall, shaking people's internal organs to the point of displacement.

However, this level of turbulence is not a difficulty for Xu Zheng. He has been paying attention to the river in front of the law enforcement boat.

Unfortunately, the heavy rain was so heavy that the visibility was very low. Even though the searchlight on the ship was very powerful, the distance we could see ahead was less than five meters.

Tan Jianjun was experienced. While reducing the speed of the ship, he turned on the sonar detector on the ship. In such weather conditions, sonar is far more realistic than electronic signals.

Moreover, the sonar detector equipped on the law enforcement boat can passively scan a water surface distance of 1200 meters, which means that it can scan ships about two miles in front and behind.

In addition to the sonar detector, the law enforcement boat is also equipped with an infrared thermal detector as standard, but this device is not very easy to use in heavy rain.

Therefore, in addition to visual inspection, we can only rely on sonar detectors to detect surrounding ships.

At this time, the law enforcement boat was almost patrolling to Wangbai County in northwest Thailand, and further south was the Golden Triangle.

In fact, the Golden Triangle is the junction of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos. It covers an area of ​​20 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China, but a large area of ​​it is covered with mountains and forests.

And it's still a virgin forest.

The Weigong River runs right through the hinterland of the Golden Triangle. The waterway here, like the environment, has become very bad. Coupled with today's violent storm, the speed of the law enforcement boat is very slow.

Normally it would take two or three hours to travel, but now, it would probably take double that time.

There was a "click" and a bolt of lightning in the distance spread like a giant snake from the void into the forest, illuminating the area instantly.

There was a flash of light, and Xu Zheng, who had been paying attention ahead, seemed to see a rickety merchant ship.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the lightning disappeared in an instant, and the area fell into darkness again. He hurriedly looked at the sonar scanner, but unfortunately it did not show any ships scanned.

He looked at Zhang Haishan and wanted to tell him what he had just discovered, but it was just a scene he saw in a trance and could not be true, so he thought for a while but did not say it.

Anyway, the law enforcement boat is moving forward.

And even if a merchant ship is found parked in front of it, the law enforcement boat cannot speed up to rescue it. In this kind of terrible weather, it is lucky to be able to ensure that the ship does not capsize and hit the rocks.

Under the heavy rain, the law enforcement boat moved forward for another ten minutes, and a big red dot finally appeared on the sonar scanner.

Zhang Haishan, who had been staring at the sonar, immediately became solemn. Judging from his experience, merchant ships that can travel in such weather are anchored on the Mekong River in the Golden Triangle near northern Myanmar.

Then there is probably something wrong with this merchant ship.

"Attention, all groups, attention, all groups, check equipment, level one alert." Zhang Haishan and Tan Jianjun looked at each other, and immediately picked up the loudspeaker to notify all peacekeeping police on the law enforcement boat to make preparations.

Xu Zheng subconsciously touched the rifle at his waist. The first-level alert naturally meant that there were criminals on the merchant ship in front. It could not be ruled out that the other party had guns, nor could it be ruled out that the other party would shoot first.

After everyone was ready, the law enforcement boat continued to move forward until it was within 500 meters of the merchant ship and could contact the other party by radio. Only then did Tan Jianjun temporarily stop the ship.

Of course, because there is no anchor to secure the ship, the law enforcement boat will still be carried downstream by the river water, but this speed can be ignored in a short time.

Zhang Haishan picked up the radio to communicate with the merchant ship. Unexpectedly, the other party responded quickly, saying that their merchant ship's propeller was stuck by a tree trunk washed down by the river.

So anchored here for now.

It also provided Zhang Haishan with the information that the ship number had been registered, as well as the customs clearance survey certificate and related procedures.

Xu Zheng has been listening carefully. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this, but it still cannot be ruled out that the ship is suspected of breaking the law. However, if you want to find out, you must go to the ship to search.

At this time, it was very windy and choppy outside, so the two boats were definitely not allowed to get close to each other. The kayak would capsize if it was launched into the water, and it was even more impossible for people to jump into the Mekong River.

Normally, Zhang Haishan's way of handling this situation is to monitor the problematic merchant ship all the way to the nearest dock for inspection.

Now the merchant ship is anchored here. As usual, the law enforcement boat can only take care of it on one side. If the merchant ship leaks water, the peacekeeping police need to rescue the people on it.

These operations are very dangerous to think about.

In view of the current conditions, Zhang Haishan ordered merchant ships to temporarily stop all activities and wait for rescue after the heavy rain.

The owner of the merchant ship was a Chinese flower farmer who sounded like he was in his forties. While he was grateful to Zhang Haishan, he declined the rescue, saying that after the rain stopped, he would contact the company to send another rescue ship.

Xu Zheng listened to their call while observing the sonar scanner and infrared thermal detector.

As the law enforcement boat gradually approached the merchant ship, a few more red light spots appeared on the infrared thermometer.

This is an infrared scan showing how many living bodies there are in the merchant ship.

Xu Zheng counted three times and there were six people in total. He reported in a low voice, "Team Zhang, only six people were scanned on the merchant ship. When they left customs, they reported eight people.

Now there are two less people. "

The merchant ship reported that its destination was Cambodia. Before it was halfway through, two people were missing from the ship. There was obviously something wrong.

But now that I know there is a problem, I can only wait until the rain stops.

If the river were not so fast, it would be life-threatening for people to go down.

Xu Zheng was helpless about this. He felt the power of the law enforcement boat rising and falling in the waves, and he could probably guess how dangerous the Mekong River was at this time.

Even if he relied on the fact that he was the reincarnation of Feiyu, he would not dare to go into the water alone at this time.

Just when everyone knew that there was a problem with the merchant ship but could only wait, Tan Jianjun suddenly pointed to the shore in surprise, "Look, are there two yellow lights flashing there?"

Xu Zheng and Tan Jianjun quickly looked over and saw two yellow lights flashing on the shore two hundred meters downstream from the merchant ship.

And it's flashing rhythmically.

Zhang Haishan's face darkened, "The yellow light has strong penetrating power. This must be a signal from the connector on the shore."

Xu Zheng also thought about it, "Does that mean that the two people who disappeared from the merchant ship will swim to the shore according to the direction indicated by the signal light."

Tan Jianjun shook his head slightly, "It is impossible to swim across. During this period, the river in the area is quite narrow, the water is deep and fast, and with heavy rains, ordinary people will only be washed downstream by the water.

Usually in this case, the anchored merchant ship will throw a rope to the shore and let people climb to the shore along the rope.

Of course, this method is also very dangerous, but it is still feasible. "

Zhang Haishan asked Tan Jianjun to drive the law enforcement boat under the merchant ship while carefully observing the flashing lights on the shore.

"It has been ten minutes since we discovered the merchant ship. Based on the time it took for the merchant ship to leave the country, it should take about five hours for them to get here at normal speed.

Then it shouldn't take more than an hour for them to get here. There are now signal lights on the shore, which means that the two people who were not detected by the infrared scan just now should be on that side of the boat.

Or have come ashore.

I estimate that they will rush to the signal light soon and disappear into the dense forest..."

Just as Zhang Haishan was about to analyze further, Tan Jianjun suddenly slapped his thigh, pointed to the position of the traffic light and said speechlessly: "Old Zhang, look at your crow's mouth, the traffic light is gone."

The signal light went out, which meant that the two parties had met. In this situation, if the rain stopped, the day lilies would be cold.

Seeing this, Zhang Haishan gritted his teeth and turned to look at Xu Zheng with hesitation on his face, as if he was about to say something but then hesitated.

Xu Zheng understood and immediately stood up straight, "Team Zhang, please give me the order."

The information coming from China this time shows that two of the three Class A wanted criminals have murder cases in hand, and the superiors require that they be arrested alive.

Now knowing that they may have braved heavy rain to set foot on the Golden Triangle land, if Zhang Haishan claimed that the Mekong River under heavy rain was too dangerous, he would have watched the wanted criminals escape before his eyes.

He can't.

Or any real police officer can't.

Zhang Haishan hesitated because of Xu Zheng's personal reasons. Now that he saw Xu Zheng volunteering for military service, he no longer hesitated and called two more peacekeeping policemen through the loudspeaker.

One of these two people is from Myanmar and the other is from Thailand. They are both very familiar with the Golden Triangle. Zhang Haishan is going to take Xu Zheng and these two people to the shore immediately to capture the two wanted criminals who have escaped.

As for others, they have to wait until the rain stops before landing on the merchant ship for inspection.

In view of the rapid flow of the Mekong River, Zhang Haishan asked Tan Jianjun to launch a steel cable towards the shore. As long as the steel cable could be fixed, they could easily reach the shore.

Soon, Tan Jianjun controlled the law enforcement boat to slowly approach the shore three meters away. It could not get closer. If it was too close, it might hit the bottom. After the boat stopped, he operated the mechanical equipment to launch a steel cable to the shore.

It's just that the visibility was too low, and the first shot of the steel cable didn't hit the big tree or hook a suitable fixed object.

I had to retract it and launch it again. This time I was lucky. The end of the steel cable must have caught a big rock on the shore during the retrieval process.

This was the first time Xu Zheng saw this kind of equipment on a ship. He didn't expect it to be so powerful. In this case, there would be no need to cross the Mekong River at all.

After the steel cable was fixed, Zhang Haishan waved his hand and was the first to walk out of the cabin and onto the deck. He took out the rope and hung it on the steel cable. The person was suspended below and slid along the steel cable towards the shore.

Xu Zheng followed behind. As soon as he got out of the cabin, the rain fell on him. Even though he was wearing all the equipment and a raincoat, he still felt half wet.

It was really windy and rainy.

He also took out a rope, tied one end to the steel cable and the other to his body, and then used the slope of the steel cable to slide towards the shore.

To be honest, this kind of operation is quite dangerous. The steel rope wet with rain is very slippery. He is sliding very fast, but at the same time, the strong wind on the river keeps shaking his body.

Halfway through the slide, he always felt like he was about to fall into the Mekong River.

Fortunately, in less than two minutes, he stepped on the ground. Zhang Haishan, who had landed early, helped him untie the rope. Then the two of them stood guard while waiting for the other two colleagues to come over.

Soon, the remaining two people also glided down quickly, and then the four people did not dare to delay. After re-determining the direction, they were ready to set off.

"Team Zhang, I have experience in fighting with the company, should I go in front?" At this time, the Thai colleague volunteered through the wireless headset, "I have been to this area before, and there are many traps.

Moreover, under heavy rain, swamps will form in the jungle. "

Zhang Haishan didn't try to be brave. He was the captain and should have been in the front, but now there were people with rich experience, so why should he try to be brave and delay everyone's tasks.

"Xiao Xu, you go second and I go last."

Xu Zheng agreed. In fact, he originally wanted to be the most important person. After all, he had a system, but he could not earn credit as he was a colleague and he had to speak out.

The four of them turned on the searchlights above their heads. It rained heavily for a while, and the sky was no longer so dark and lightless.

It’s just that in these primeval forests, under the shade of trees, visibility is very low without lights.

"Da da da!"

Water splashed from their combat boots as they marched hurriedly towards the downstream. They had no destination for the time being and could only re-find the traces left by the wanted criminals during the tracking process.

Heavy rain washed away their traces, and the rain cleared away the smell they left behind. The dark environment doubled the difficulty of the tracking task.

The four of them could only search like blind men groping in the dark in the deep mountains and dense forests. Xu Zheng now felt that his entire body was soaked.

At first, he felt that the weather was hot and the equipment was itchy and hot, but now that his whole body was soaked, he felt a little cold again.

Moreover, it is not easy to walk quickly in the dense forest. In addition to the thorns and bushes blocking the road, there are also many dangerous plants.

However, heavy rains have disadvantages and advantages, because under the heavy rain, the poisonous snakes and insects that are famous in Southeast Asia are hidden.

Therefore, everyone only needs to look at their feet.

"Captain Zhang, look."

After marching for more than ten minutes, the Thai colleague walking in front suddenly stopped and made a stop gesture with his right hand. He pointed at a freshly broken branch in front and reported to Zhang Haishan.

Zhang Haishan went up the mountain and carefully observed the direction in which the branches were broken, and judged the traces on the broken surface of the branches. He felt certain that the group was indeed heading downstream.

He reminded the Thai colleague, "Bangsai, be careful and stay safe if possible."

Bangsai looks like most Thais, dark and thin, not tall, with big eyes. Dressed in a combat uniform, he looks very agile. After hearing the words, he immediately nodded, turned around and continued to clear the way forward.

Xu Zheng looked at the dark forest in front of him, which seemed to contain endless danger and fear, but he also knew that the so-called wanted criminals in the country, whether they were Class A or Class B, were actually stronger than ordinary people. a little.

But they are definitely not as good as peacekeeping policemen like them who are trained regularly.

Therefore, Xu Zheng felt that the road was difficult, so the two wanted criminals would not be able to move fast.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, he found several lights shaking eighty meters ahead. He quickly cheered up and was about to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.

Suddenly, I became alert. I grabbed Bang Sai, the Thai man in front of me, and quickly moved behind a big tree nearby.

"Da da da!"

At the same time, there was a sound of rifle fire, and bullets hit the place where the two of them were standing just now like raindrops. (End of chapter)
