Siam's economic development has been good in recent years, but it has also been distorted.

Almost half of the development in Siam is in Bangkok.

Half of Bangkok's economic development depends on foreign trade, and 90% of foreign trade depends on the Port of Bangkok.

Such a seaport has made this country one of the five Asian Tigers, but it has also given birth to a slum that can be said to be the tenth largest city in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

“There are so many people here…”

"At least 30% of the people in Bangkok are here. Bangkok's commercial district is built in a ring, with the Grand Palace at the innermost, followed by temples and official buildings. The commercial district we visited before is the second circle, the third circle is residential, and the outermost is these places."

The royal palace and Buddhist temples are all located around the Chao Phraya River. All hotels that claim to have river view rooms or river view rooms actually overlook the Chao Phraya River.

But if you look in another direction, you can see that in the bustling commercial district of Bangkok, a piece of wasteland is inexplicably separated by barbed wire.

Or it could be the inharmonious picture of high-rise buildings and wooden and iron houses close to each other, which looks mottled and uneven, like scars in the steel jungle.

Moreover, the architectural styles span a wide range of time, truly showing traces of history.

In Bangkok, you can see the most avant-garde postmodern plaza design in the city center, such as the SiamDiscovery shopping mall.

But not far away, you can also find old-style apartment buildings or even stretches of shanties that only appeared in Hong Kong films in the 1970s and 1980s.

"This slum is just one of many in Bangkok, but there are at least 100,000 people here, more than in Kowloon Walled City."

There were 50,000 people in Kowloon Walled City before it was demolished, but the Kowloon Walled City itself was not big, so this place was a little more spacious.

Of course, this spaciousness is only relative. Many families in the entire Klong Toei area have three generations living in the same house.

Moreover, since most people's occupations are related to cleaning, cargo handling, motorcycle taxis, taxis and other industries, hygiene management is very inadequate.

Once an infectious disease occurs, this place is often the worst-affected place in Bangkok or even Thailand, and suffers from discrimination.

Ye Tianxin tightened his mask: "What are we doing here?"

"If you visit someone and he doesn't give you the nod, the Burberry factory won't be able to start production."

Beng Ya Xiong, who was at the front, looked at his phone, then raised his head to look at a Buddhist temple and nodded.

"It's right here, go in."

"Can't you come during the day?"

"During the day, they have to make money and eat, so they don't have time to talk to us about this."

"Oh, like that guy before?"

"Yeah, almost - but don't do it this time. The other party is very powerful. He controls the largest underground bank here."

Things like talking about numbers are naturally not within the rules. In addition to people, Jiang Tianyi also brought money this time.

If it weren't for Ye Tianxin, she wouldn't even come here in person, after all, the other party's notoriety was too fierce.

If the whole Siam is divided into black and white, white means the King of Thailand is the biggest, then black means the other side is the biggest.

Even international speculators who want to exchange foreign currency on the black market have to find him, which shows how strong his financial power is.

The entire Siam was divided into three interest groups: the Thai king's military, the civil servants and landlords, and the new commercial capital.

The other party is the underground spokesperson for a group of civil servants and large landowners, and has extensive networks of connections.

Jiang Tianyi was not here to cause trouble, but to discuss business. He was not too awed and walked through the temple gate to meet the real host.

"Sawadee Ka——"

When Jiang Tianyi saw the kind monk, he put his hands together and raised them to his forehead, with his thumbs on the tip of his nose, and saluted him.

The monk, who looked a little old, also put his palms together in return, but his hands were not raised above his chest, and he spoke in fluent Mandarin.

"Hello, Miss Jiang."

Ye Tianxin, who was behind Jiang Tianyi, lifted up his mask and thought to himself that this person was just a believer...

He looks just like a Siamese monk, and doesn't have the aura of a martial artist at all.

On the contrary, the two followers behind him seemed to be masters of horizontal kung fu.

The most famous martial art in Siam is naturally Muay Thai, which is extremely ferocious when mastered and is famous all over the world.

However, given the quality of these two opponents, Ye Tianxin was confident that he could kill them within three minutes.

There was no bloodshed in Jiang Tianyi's meeting with the other party. On the contrary, it seemed very peaceful, just like an everyday visit.

Jiang Tianyi asked the other party to smooth over the relationship and ask the factory in northern Thailand to stop making trouble and start work on time.

For this purpose, she specially brought a full half million dollars in cash as a gift, which was neatly stacked after the box was opened.

Based on the exchange rate, this is close to 17 million Thai baht, which is even enough to recruit new staff and open a new factory.

But it's clear that's not how business works, even though Siam is committed to establishing Bangkok's image as the fashion capital, including hosting various events.

But the whole world knows that these Bangkok Fashion Weeks and overseas roadshows are all just to pave the way for the textile industry.

Since it is a large-scale industry, it naturally has its own local rules. Barbara, in which Jiang Tianyi has a stake, has a warehousing center here that radiates to Southeast Asia. Whether it is the textile industry, transportation, or import and export, it has to deal with the local tyrants. If it has a good relationship with Xinchai, many places will get extra convenience.

After a while, the two sides reached a consensus that the factory in northern Thailand would no longer be harassed but would be protected by Sinchai.

The workers who have been "poached" will return to work as soon as possible, and warehousing and road transportation will not be harassed.

Jiang Tianyi clasped his hands together and said goodbye to the other party. He was obviously relieved when he walked out of the Buddhist temple.

"Next, we will just have fun for a few days, and then we can go back after the APEC meeting is over and show our faces."

"Oh... How did this Xin Guess become the underground emperor?"

"I don't know about that, but there are rumors that the other party is related to shrimp slaves and fish slaves, and also has connections with the military."

“Human trafficking?”

"Well, these things are hard to say. It's not just the Rohingya who are being sold here, and it's not just the local warlords who are facilitating it."

Selling entire people is even considered a relatively 'civilized' practice, and organ trafficking is not uncommon.

It was previously said that there was an underground trading network in Southeast Asia, which was severely damaged in conjunction with the White Tower in Japan.

I don't know why the Metropolitan Police Department in Japan has to get to the bottom of this, causing chaos in the muddy water, as if a dragon has rolled over the river.

As the two were talking, they were about to leave the slums when they saw a fight at the edge.

Seven or eight skinny men surrounded a sloppy-looking guy, beating him and kicking him.

Jiang Tianxin frowned, but had no intention of intervening. Instead, Ye Tianxin raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise.

"Golden bell?!"

"what?"

"That man who was beaten... No, it's very wrong, but he really is the Golden Bell Cover!"

Of course Jiang Tianyi had heard of the Golden Bell Cover. Even people who didn't read martial arts novels had heard of this thing, such as the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Shirt.

But does this happen in reality?

"Cousin, you guys go first, I'll go take a look!"

"Don't, Xin——"

"Don't worry, with my ability, I can go anywhere. They can't stop me. Besides, I came back just for this."

When you go to challenge a master, you have to challenge all the masters. How can you let go of a living golden bell cover passing by?

You should know that this is one of the four legendary magical skills of Shaoshi Mountain, a rare skill that cultivates both internal and external skills. It is estimated that not many people in Shaoshi Mountain itself can do it.

Jiang Tianyi had no choice but to leave in a hurry, fearing that he would become a burden to Ye Tianxin.

After all, Ye Tianxin is a free bird, the kind that is too free.

The wound on her arm still reminds Jiang Tianyi that this is a martial arts madman who almost lost his life in a sparring match.

"If you have any problem, call me!"

"it is good."

Ye Tian responded absentmindedly, and when he saw that the guy had been carried into the alley, he hurriedly followed.

Jiang Tianyi gritted his teeth: "Axiong——"

"Miss."

"Go prepare another million in cash - US dollars - if anything happens to Ah Xin, go directly to Xin Cai and ask him to help cover it."

"Yes!"

……

……

"I say, do all the super police officers of Bauhinia have this attitude?"

"Miss Zhuang, since you know I'm a police officer, could you please just - ah - forget it."

A middle-aged man with a big nose turned around helplessly: "We are really not here to play, we are here to look for someone!"

"Don't worry. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to find him. Since he was able to escape all the way from the country, can his anti-reconnaissance capabilities allow you to catch him at the port?"

A speedboat was cutting through the waves on the sea, and in front was the brightly lit Bangkok Port.

"Don't you have any powerful operators in the Ninth Division? No matter how you look at her, she's still just a student!"

"I'm very good at this. I just came back from here and I'm familiar with the situation. Most importantly, I'm the fastest."

Ms. Zhuang Cixin, who did not want to reveal her name, took out two blank passports from her backpack and said, "Hey, we're almost ashore. Be careful. If you get caught, I won't recognize you."

“…I could have come here through the regular channels!”

"No, I tell you very clearly, before Guijiao Liu took out that thing, you might have been able to come here openly and track him down, but after he took it out, Siam would only help him cover up - how do you think his wife was sold here? Was she bought online?"

"Do you know anything?"

"You are about to face the largest human trafficking group in Southeast Asia and even the world."

She turned the speedboat to avoid a sweeping searchlight from the harbor. "So forget about investigating through legitimate channels. As far as I know, human trafficking in Siam is getting out of control. It not only involves their officials and military, but even the King of Thailand. How do you investigate?"

"But Huang Cuicui is a citizen of our country!"

"That's why I'm here with you to eat seawater... From now on, my name is Yu Cixin, and you have to change your name too, Inspector Chen Jiaju."

"What do you think my name should be?"

"I don't care. If you must say, the passport you hold is for you, A-mei. Maybe you can choose a foreign name, like Jack?"

"Okay, it's all right... Miss Zhuang-Yu, how much do you know about these things?"

"Not a few, but we can talk about it slowly. Before that, we have to find the snakehead who brought Ghost Leg Liu here... They are quite quick, but Ghost Leg Liu was shot before, and he should not have received treatment. It is really strange that he did not die on the way... He should not be able to run far, let's go."

Miss Yu Ci Xin put on sunglasses, jumped onto the shore, and handed over the work to some port staff in a familiar manner.

"Can you come so casually?"

"How is that possible? Either he is a regular customer or he is a human smuggler."

"So which one are you?"

"I'm the type who used to cook snake heads - do you want to eat something? It's almost midnight."

"Let's find him first. Where do you think he will go?"

"The most suitable place to go out of the port here is the slums in Klong Toei District."

"Then let's go right away!"

"You can't find it. There are at least 100,000 people over there. You know the Kowloon Walled City, right? This is the Kowloon Walled City here. Did you dare to enter the Kowloon Walled City back then?"

Chen Jiaju opened his mouth, and finally slumped his shoulders: "I'm not used to this way of investigating cases."

"You'll get used to it, but I hope you won't have to deal with these cases again in the future... Why did they send you out?"

"The boss who was retaliated by Ghost Foot Liu has a home address within the security area of ​​West Kowloon Police Station. I was protecting his family before."

"Oh, I didn't expect that a passionate revenge would turn into a major case, right? Who would have thought that the guy, who looked like a decent person, was actually involved in smuggling and even human trafficking? I can only say that Ghost Foot Liu shouldn't have run away. I can't even clean up his name if I want to."

"That guy is already crazy, and you still want to help him?!"

"So there's no help, but the thing in his hand is very important. If we get it, we can figure out the contact person in Southeast Asia."

The other person had a mobile phone in his hand, which belonged to the previous Bauhinia boss.

There is an address book in that phone, which involves insiders in many ports in Southeast Asia. It is definitely not just a small human trafficking line. It is estimated that clues about how illegal smuggling and even some more sensitive contraband are smuggled can be found in that phone.
