Tiger Police

Chapter 145

Hu Pingtao smiled: "What?"

"I saw two things on Taobao, so give me your mobile phone later, and I will place an order." Su Xiaolin said seriously.

"What do you want to buy?" Hu Pingtao didn't know it was a trap.

"The washboard, and the computer keyboard."

Su Xiaolin laughed wildly: "There must be rules in the family, and they will be the family law from now on. If you make me unhappy, hehehehe..."

Looking at his bright and charming wife, Hu Pingtao shuddered a little.

……

One month later, at the border of Yunnan Province, the Xiluo checkpoint.

Hu Pingtao led a ten-member team to patrol the hot and humid rain forest according to the prescribed route.

Before the holiday was over, he received an order from the provincial department and was urgently transferred to the Xiluo border checkpoint as the captain.

Aiming at the problem of the "Northern Security Force" planting opium poppies on a large scale, Hu Pingtao's last mission was very good, almost complete.Unfortunately, due to the special task, it was not possible to report the reward. After repeated struggles by Ran Hongjun, Xiong Jie and others, the superior decided to give Hu Pingtao a special reward for exceptional promotion.

His current police rank is three-level superintendent, deputy section level.

On the third day of his wedding, he filled out the party membership application.

Among them are urgings from parents, exhortations from his father-in-law, and more are Hu Pingtao's own sense of responsibility and understanding of the future.

Xiluo is located on the southwestern border. There is also no winter here. The annual minimum temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. Now is the hottest time of the year.

Although the dark black special police training uniform is a summer style, it still feels hot on the body.The outside is covered with bulletproof vests, and the armed belt is stuffed with full magazines, helmets, standard rifles, and various essentials. These things are heavy. Feeling out of breath.

The word "border" is a crooked line on the map.

In reality, it is necessary for border guards to go back and forth countless times on mountain roads, streams, Gobi, rainforests...

Combat boots are thick and solid, which are two different concepts from the usual rubber shoes.Although it is stuffy and hot on the feet, it is a must-have for mountain patrols.It can prevent puncture and has strong protection function for ankles.

Li Baiyun: The road to Shu is as difficult as going to the blue sky.

The farther you go to the southwest, the harder the road becomes.

The terrain of Yunnan Province is more complicated than that of Shu, with dense forests and numerous rivers, and many places cannot be accessed, so they can only go around from places with slightly lower terrain.There used to be an old movie "The Bell Rings in the Mountains and the Caravan Comes". It was about the southwestern border. Many villages had no roads to connect with the outside, so they had to use caravans to transport goods.

The whole country is engaged in construction, but the borders cannot enjoy such benefits.The complex terrain and dense forest are also a good protective barrier to a certain extent, which has a high probability of reducing the number of alien intruders.

There are traps everywhere in the old forest, and there are all kinds of blood-sucking insects, poisonous snakes, and beasts... This kind of place is not to mention adventure hunting, even outdoor sports enthusiasts who have made sufficient preparations have a high probability of getting lost. die inside.

There are three patrol routes, but the time and frequency are not fixed.The reason for this is mainly to target smugglers and drug traffickers who cross the border illegally.

Barbed wire fences were pulled up in the border forest area, and traps were even dug and bamboo sticks were laid in some important positions.Although the border checkpoints are busy with daily tasks, they still have to deploy personnel to form patrol teams and make repeated inspections.This work is very important and has also received strong support from the border guards. They have provided assistance in terms of material supply and personnel rest places, which has greatly reduced the burden on the border checkpoints.

In the evening, the patrol returned to the border checkpoint.

Hu Pingtao unloaded his equipment in the weapon management room, took off his body armor, went outside, unbuttoned his training uniform, and opened his clothes. It felt like he had escaped from the terrible steamer and returned to the cool human world.

The most important item that patrols carry is water.The water in the mountains is undrinkable, and the streams are densely covered with leeches, mosquitoes and flies. A casual bite could turn a minor injury into a serious illness.

"Three mosquitoes and one dish," this statement is both exaggerated in size and a terrible portrayal of reality.

After taking a bath and drinking two large bottles of water, Hu Pingtao didn't feel so hot.Although I am sweating, it is a normal secretion of body fluids; unlike in the mountains, what seeps from the body surface is not sweat at all, but the water I drank from my mouth a minute ago.

This hard work must go on.

Drug dealers are desperadoes.For money, they will do anything.

Here, armed cross-border drug trafficking is very common, especially the powerful drug trafficking groups, which are even better equipped than the border police.Especially in the past few years, when the country's economy was in a downturn, the most frequently used firearms were the "August [-]st Bar" and "Old May [-]th" by the police and border inspectors. type weapons.

In those years, the border armed police had a high casualty rate, and the border garrison also mobilized troops to participate in the battle.After repeated strikes and rounds of battles, overseas armed drug trafficking groups suffered heavy losses and could only retreat and transport drugs by means of small-scale infiltration and infiltration.

The "Northern Security Force" in the Wu Qingcheng era was also one of the large-scale armed drug trafficking groups.They were included in the list of key monitoring and strikes. Later, as Hu Pingtao completed the task, the "Northern Security Force" no longer planted poppies, and the number of drugs and infiltrators coming from that direction dropped sharply, which doubled the ease of the Xiluo border inspection. standing pressure.

The dinner dishes are quite local.

Hot and sour green mango, which is not available in other places.The first-ripe green mango is picked from the tree, washed, peeled, cut into pieces or shredded, sprinkled with salt and chili powder, squeezed with lime juice, poured with a little soy sauce, and some fish sauce for strong taste... ...In short, it is a sour and spicy cold dish, see if you can accept it.

Water pickled vegetables mixed with shredded pork, you can know the specific method just by listening to the name.It also takes the hot and sour route, but the taste is more sour than spicy.The meat is fresh boiled beef or pork, shredded and sliced. This way of eating is vigorous and natural.

The fried fish is only as long as an adult's palm. When it is cooked, even the bones are crispy.

There are other dishes, the portion is sufficient, and the taste is not bad.

In recent years, the country has paid more and more attention to the military and police, increasing funding and support.Taking the Xiluo checkpoint as an example, all-round changes have been made from equipment to food, and people's working conditions are getting better and better.

After eating, Hu Pingtao changed into his work clothes, checked his equipment carefully, walked out of the room, and walked towards the work area of ​​the checkpoint.

There is no rest for 24 hours here, and a large number of people and vehicles come and go every day.

The strength of a country can be reflected in many ways, and border checkpoints are one of them.According to the old "customs officers": Xiluo used to have a lot of people going out, but now it's the other way around.Moreover, the number of convoys is increasing day by day, whether they go out or come in, they are full of all kinds of goods.

When we have money, others are willing to do business with us.

Stationmaster Liu Guangbei and deputy stationmaster Wang Dong stood together. Seeing Hu Pingtao approaching, Zhang Guangbei greeted him with a smile: "Xiaohu, you're here very early!"

Hu Pingtao is on the night shift today.The normal shift time is eight o'clock in the evening, and there is still more than half an hour from now.

He responded with a smile: "It's hot and I can't stay in the dormitory, so come here early to see if I need help."

This is scene talk.

The actual situation is that Hu Pingtao has just come to serve as the captain, and he needs to get familiar with everything here as soon as possible.

The position of the station chief of the border inspection is very important. The deputy station chief is photographed in order, and then the captain and deputy captain.As far as the position is concerned, Hu Pingtao's "deputy department" can be assigned to the deputy station master, but he is too young and has no experience in grassroots work, so he needs to practice.

In contrast, Wang Dong, the deputy station master, was a little cold. He nodded slightly to Hu Pingtao as a greeting.

At this time, a truck full of goods drove into the inspection area.

The trucks that can be driven in have all passed the initial inspection at the front gate.The driver jumped out of the cab in shorts and shirt, smiling all over his face, and handed over the manifest to the inspectors.

Behind, all kinds of trucks lined up in a long line.

All things said, it was a busy night.

The aroma of various fruits floats in the distance: lychees, bananas, mangoes, pineapples...all are tropical fruits imported from abroad.Although they account for a small proportion of the goods entering the customs, they have the most prominent characteristics.

A border inspector in uniform came over with the manifest. He glanced at Hu Pingtao, then turned and walked towards Wang Dong who was standing opposite him: "Station Master Wang, the goods declared by this truck are macadamia nuts."

Orally speaking, the word "vice" is omitted.

Liu Guangbei had gone to the truck for a random inspection.He took some macadamia nuts from each sackcloth pocket and a special metal opener, walked up to Hu Pingtao and Wang Dong, and said with a smile, "Come on, try them all and see if there is any problem."

This is not a card, but a normal inspection procedure.

Wang Dong opened the hard shell, stuffed the white fruit into his mouth and chewed it. Feeling the strong fragrance permeating his mouth, he pointed the order with his fingers with a bit of contempt, and said with a smile: "Annan people also Started to grow this thing."

What he said meant something, and of course it was aimed at the Annan people.

Wang Dong was a soldier in his early years, and later transferred to a local government and joined the public security system.Soldiers, especially veterans, have instinctive vigilance and a sense of superiority towards Annan.

Hu Pingtao was at home before, and heard his father tell the story of the battle between the two mountains more than once.Especially when it comes to the logistics supply of the Annan people, my father always looks contemptuous: "We have canned luncheon meat and braised beef here. What about them, hmph...canned eggplant, it's terrible."

As for why my father was able to eat canned eggplant from the Annan people, he replied: "We captured their positions and captured them."

Annan people are poor!Even the canned food supplied by the military is vegetarian, not even a bit oily or meaty.

Hu Pingtao threw away the macadamia nut shell in his hand, and said with a smile to Wang Dong: "In recent years, dried fruits of the squirrel series have been sold well on the Internet. Look, most of them are imported from abroad. The Annan people also want to do this business, and their climate is suitable, which is not surprising.”

Wang Dong let out a "huh" and said lightly, "I still like to eat fried melon seeds and fried peanuts. It's just this kind of macadamia nuts that are not produced in Hawaii...huh!"

Shaking his head, although the following words were not finished, contempt and sarcasm appeared on his face, without any concealment.

It's a joke, both in form and in content.

At this moment, the inspector came running from the direction of the truck not far away, and stood still in front of Liu Guangbei: "Station Master, there is no problem with the re-inspection of this car, and it will pass through the customs next time."

He came here to ask for the customs declaration form for the truck, which is one of the essential documents for the owner of the cargo.

Liu Guangbei glanced at the convoys lined up outside the checkpoint, nodded, handed the declaration form to Hu Pingtao, and said kindly, "Xiaohu, see if there is any problem."

In the entire checkpoint, only Liu Guangbei knew the identity and origin of Hu Pingtao.

The superior asked him to go to the provincial office once. When he saw Ran Hongjun, he repeatedly told Liu Guangbei: "Xiaohu is a very good young man. You, the station master, should train him well and give him as much as possible." Tasks and pressure. Of course, the speed is up to you to control, it can’t be too heavy, and it can’t crush people directly. It should be like a spring, the kind that can spring back when pressed.”

Liu Guangbei is well aware of its meaning.He didn't think Hu Pingtao was a relative of his superiors, and Ran Hongjun was well-known as a clean and principled person.What's more, Hu Pingtao's rank is here: a young man in his twenties has already carried the epaulettes of the third-level police superintendent, and he is also a sub-departmental officer... You must know that promotion in the military and police system is extremely difficult, and ability and qualifications are indispensable. .Under normal circumstances, Hu Pingtao's age is at most a first-class police officer, and it is impossible to reach his current level.

Where is the Shiloh checkpoint?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most dangerous units in the national public security system.

If it is nepotism, even if you need to go to the grassroots to exercise, you will not choose this place at all.

What's more, the position assigned to Hu Pingtao by the superior was very special. If he didn't come up, he was directly appointed as the deputy station chief, but a lower-level patrol captain.

This means that it is necessary to go out on patrol missions in the wild, and the chances of injury or even death are high.

Some things can never be made public.

Hu Pingtao took the list, read it twice carefully, and couldn't find any faults in the procedure.

He handed the list to Liu Guangbei, and said with a smile, "Station Master, I see no problem."

Liu Guangbei handed the checklist to the inspectors: "Then let it pass by weighing the weight. Hurry up, the cars behind are waiting!"

Outside the station, the dog handlers took two drug detection dogs to check the waiting vehicles in sequence.This is part of the initial inspection. The dog's nose is very good. If any abnormalities are found, the staff will be concentrated immediately to carry out a more detailed inspection.

All vehicles entering the customs need to be weighed.

Standing on the concrete platform, watching the truck slowly driving into the passage, and the red number displayed on the electronic scale in the distance, the tiny Hu Pingtao suddenly frowned.

Liu Guangbei quickly caught the subtle changes in his expression.

"Little Tiger, what's the matter?"
