Chapter 926: Qishan Village

Qishan Village.

It rides on the ridge of a large mountain and is a mixture of hundreds of meters of wooden structures... and brick-and-stone mixed structures.

Looking at it from afar, one can discover that this is actually a cluster of buildings built haphazardly with modern building materials while utilizing old wooden structures. Sending a drone to fly around it, it is easy to discover a large number of temporary buildings scattered inside, some of which are even low, fake tents built with plastic sheets, bamboo, and mud.

Just looking at this picture, the point that people live here is confirmed. Moreover, it doesn't look like normal living; it's like a settlement built by homeless people, or a shanty town for scavengers.

The criminal police who arrived at the foot of the mountain looked at the shanty town area above their heads and frowned instinctively.

This kind of shanty town area, just like the slums abroad, is naturally a hotbed of crime. It is different from the so-called shanty town areas in the city; shanty town areas are at least managed houses with certain regulations, while shanty town areas are built haphazardly. Fire safety and the like don't need to be considered, and there are dead-end roads everywhere. The most critical thing is that people living nearby will tacitly form gangs to protect themselves. That is to say, when a shanty town area is formed, countless gangs are inevitably formed.

The most common shanty town gangs in the country are scavengers, and common forms of crime are drug use and theft. Occasionally, they also do some human trafficking and robbery. Picking up bottles for one mao each absolutely does not hinder them from picking up children for 30,000 yuan each.

There are more stories about shanty town areas abroad. Famous ones like the slums of Rio de Janeiro are not only complex in personnel, but the routes are so complex that elite police officers have to be careful. And one of the plans implemented by American cities like New York to eliminate crime is position control, fighting through one building after another.

"We don't have enough people, call for people." Wu Junhao came over from Ningtai specifically to help. He looked up at the appearance of Qishan Village and immediately made a request.

Su Shanming, the detachment leader of the Third Detachment of the Changle City Criminal Police Detachment who was with him, hesitated for a moment and said: "We have over 100 people here, why don't we go up and take a look first?"

This time they came out, the civil police from Changle City and Ningtai County were half and half, and it took several medium-sized buses to fit everyone. Plus various equipment, the pressure was already very high.

Wu Junhao just shook his head and said: "If we go up the mountain now, what if the other party runs into the mountains all at once? Or, what if we go up and they gather to cause trouble? The area here is much larger than expected, and the expected number of people will also be much higher. Looking at this scale, there are at least three or four hundred people or more, at least double our number."

Su Shanming hesitated for a moment and said: "The other party has more people, we have fewer people, shouldn't we use speed to beat slowness? Otherwise, if the other party seals the road, how do we fight an upward attack?"

Wu Junhao laughed: "We are yamen runners, not soldiers. Who is going to fight an upward attack with them? We already know that the people up there have criminal suspicions. Our task is to find a way to seal the road and surround them. This is the most important thing. As for the rest, if they want to seal the road, let them seal it. I won't fight an upward attack. If the pistol can't reach, use a sniper rifle. If that's still not enough, mobilize artillery. This isn't the cold weapon era anymore, who is going to trade lives with them?"

Wu Junhao didn't speak nicely, and Su Shanming didn't like to hear it, but what Wu Junhao said was useful, and Su Shanming had to listen.

To be honest, seeing such a village riding on a mountain ridge, Su Shanming also felt terrified in his heart. He had never fought a field battle, and he didn't know how to attack this kind of village. But he knew that with these dozens of people, if the other party really resisted, and they charged up holding pistols, how many people would die in the end could only be left to believe in the other party's wisdom.

What he feared most wasn't the other party's hard-headed resistance; if it were soft resistance, the mission would be very difficult to complete.

Several vehicles stopped on the spot, letting everyone get off to rest, pee, and drink water. Wu Junhao and Jiang Yuan and the others quickly compared notes and decided to adopt Plan C.

Plan A is to surround and arrest people, Plan B is to go directly into the village to arrest people, and Plan C is to surround without arresting. The main difference is actually the number of people. The geography of Qishan Village is clear. Now there are not only maps but also satellite terrain maps. When they arrive at the scene, they can also fly drones.

However, Jiang Yuan and the others were not sure how many people were in Qishan Village before. Just looking at the satellite images, many shanties were hidden in the middle of dilapidated wooden buildings.

Only by arriving at the foot of the mountain, observing from the side, and confirming with a drone, could they know roughly how many people were inside.

The logistics trucks began to unload a large amount of equipment, which was collected by the duty police officers themselves.

Bulletproof vests, stab-proof clothing, shields, or ceramic plates and other items were available for use at will. The amount transported this time was also excessive. Handcuffs, batons, stun guns, and other police equipment were used individually; if they were missing, they would apply for them. Only firearms and ammunition needed to be registered, and not only did the number of pieces need to be registered, but the serial numbers also needed to be registered.

He Daxuan of the Armed Police continued to lead the team. They carried more shotguns and submachine guns this time, and only brought a few rifles and sniper rifles.

Besides that, the Changle City Bureau also sent two detachments of its SWAT team. But unlike what ordinary people imagine, most of the SWAT teams in prefecture-level cities are similar to the existence of the "Zhuangban" (strong squad), belonging to the kind that is handsome in equipment and beautiful in standing posture, but in actual application, they are at most anti-riot police and patrol police, and the chance of using guns is extremely rare.

This sortie was an opportunity for the SWAT team, but the main task was actually to stand in position.

Over a hundred police officers put on their equipment, boarded vehicles separately, and headed to their respective mission locations.

It was actually the road down the mountain from Qishan Village.

Jiang Yuan followed the majority, drove along the main road all the way to the foot of the mountain, until they couldn't see Qishan Village, then started to get off the vehicle, and then climbed the mountain.

With him were two biologists, Su Lei from the Agricultural Research Institute and her doctoral student Qiao Shengli.

Both of them wore outdoor gear. To prevent sunburn and cuts, their faces were also wrapped up. They climbed the mountain together, each carrying their own backpack and leaning on a walking stick, without any complaints.

"There are hallucinogenic mushrooms here." Qiao Shengli was walking when she suddenly pointed to the side of the road, and then used her hiking stick to dig out a red umbrella mushroom from beside a tree in two or three strokes.

"There are some on the side of the road, no wonder they want to rely on mushrooms to get rich." Wang Chuanxing immediately stepped forward to take photos.

"Climatic conditions are the most important." Su Lei said: "Just like the road from Li Jiang to XX Mountain, it's full of wild marijuana forests. The local government has shoveled them several times to no avail. The growth conditions are too good. The marijuana sheds that Americans have to spend a lot of money to build for soilless cultivation grow like thin bamboo here in the open air, dense and thick."

"It's not quite the same as American marijuana, right?" Wang Chuanxing was also a bit curious.

Su Lei smiled mysteriously and added: "Some are naturally different from American ones."

Wang Chuanxing was also an old criminal police officer. As soon as he heard it, he understood: "Some are the same?"

Qiao Shengli was more lively and said with a smile: "Some of our varieties are quite popular abroad."

Su Lei coughed lightly: "First of all, although marijuana is divided into two subspecies, the original subspecies and the Indian marijuana subspecies, the ones we have been cultivating in our country for a long time have also always been the original subspecies. But from a biological point of view, the original subspecies and the Indian marijuana subspecies can easily hybridize, and within these two subspecies, the content of tetrahydrocannabinol is also unstable, so..."

"Can ghosts bring foreign seeds in?" Wang Chuanxing blurted out.

Su Lei was stunned for a moment and said: "I didn't think of this, but it's true that our domestic marijuana subspecies have long been polluted. Yunnan Agricultural University has done research in this area. I just saw it on the way... Xiao Qiao?"

Her student Qiao Shengli immediately took out her mobile phone, flipped through it, and said: "It's that article by Chen Xuan, 'Research on Cannabinoid Chemical Types and Genotypes of Farm Marijuana Varieties in Southern Yunnan', published in the 'Journal of Southwest Botany'. The core is to take a group of farm marijuana varieties in Southern Yunnan as the research object and measure the tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol in 21 single plants. The result is that all 21 single plants contain tetrahydrocannabinol, with content ranging from 0.07% to 1.35%. There are three plants exceeding 1%."

Wang Chuanxing frowned: "I made up for it two days ago. Only tetrahydrocannabinol below 0.3% is industrial marijuana, right? Exceeding 1% is already at the level of marijuana that can be sold as drugs in Europe and America?"

"This industrial marijuana..." Su Lei shook her head and added: "1% is definitely not okay."

Wang Chuanxing's thought turned: "Ghosts only need to try a few more times, and they can very easily find single plants above 1%."

"En, they can also share with each other." Qiao Shengli added from the side: "When the marijuana flowering season arrives, they will also bring sickles and backpacks into the mountains to harvest themselves. Because the THC content of the female inflorescence is higher. Moreover, they care about this abroad because the planting cost is high and everything has to be bought with money. If it's marijuana that doesn't cost money, smoking two more rolls is the same."

"Can this also be a miracle of strength?" Wang Chuanxing understood a little.

Qiao Shengli said: "So the concept of industrial marijuana was created. The number 0.3%, or 0.2%, has no meaning. For people who smoke marijuana, it's just that the cigarette roll is a bit thicker."

"But what you just said, isn't there a content of zero point zero something percent? This has to be rolled to the thickness of a cigar."

Su Lei followed up and said: "Because the person who created the concept of industrial marijuana planted marijuana for the purpose of extracting cannabidiol. Tetrahydrocannabinol is hallucinogenic, and cannabidiol can be used medically. The price abroad is relatively high. But in fact, because both tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol come from the same precursor substance, called cannabigerol, which is catalyzed by different enzymes, the two are positively correlated. Y=0.648X-0.025 is a regression equation. The standard of 0.03% or 0.02% is already as low as possible." Su Lei paused and added: "Therefore, the domestic policy on industrial marijuana is now being fully tightened."

"This mushroom should also be tightened." Wang Chuanxing looked at the small path ahead with resentment. The mountains here are tall and large, and it is a typical model of "looking at the mountain and running the horse to death".

Zi zi...

The walkie-talkie on Jiang Yuan's waist rang.

"Team Leader Jiang, they should have felt something wrong on the mountain and started to mobilize." The report was from the drone operation team at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Yuan looked at the time: "Half an hour, only just started to mobilize?"

"We see it this way from the air. When they first saw our drone, someone should have reported it, but the reaction was very sluggish, and many people didn't seem to care."

"Understood." Jiang Yuan ended the call, turned the walkie-talkie to channel 1, and said: "Attention all units, the Qishan Village gang may escape, pay attention to countermeasures."

"Received."

"Received!"

Several teams responded one after another, with high morale.

This kind of activity where hundreds of people can be arrested at once is very rare. Don't ask how big the case is or how deep it involves; asking means organized crime that combines drug use and trafficking, and the scale and number of people are among the top in the country. ===== CHAPTER 927 =====

Several teams responded in turn, their morale high.

An operation capable of catching hundreds of people at once is still very rare. Don't ask how big the case is or how deep it goes; if you ask, it's organized crime involving both consumption and trafficking, with a scale and number of people that rank among the top in the country.
