Chapter 409: Identify the target

The senior police chief in Saraburi immediately thought of the road from the porcelain shop to the smuggling gang Lao based on Liu Wei's "transit station" statement.
Although the smuggling gangs are very likely to hide in the mountains, one thing can confirm that their old nest must have a convenient road to the transit station in the market town of Batongchai, which is the porcelain lighting store they are searching for.
According to the characteristics of the smuggling gangs who have always acted efficiently and quickly, it is not difficult to launch their old nest, which may be located in a mountain forest within the range of Batongchai.
The senior superintendent turned around and told the police officer: "Go to Batongchai Road Authority to check all the country roads connecting the market town and the Kamphaeng Mountains!"
Liu Wei smiled slightly, and it seemed that the senior superintendent was also a person with strong logical reasoning ability.
The senior superintendent walked up to Liu Wei and smiled: "Liu Wei, thank you for the clue!"
Liu Wei looked into the porcelain shop, "Can I go in and see?"
"Yes!" The senior superintendent didn't stop Liu Wei, he wondered what Liu Wei found to be greasy?
Liu Wei walked into the porcelain shop and turned over the porcelain that had not been sold in the shop. He smiled and it was exactly what he guessed.
A very common modus operandi.
The senior superintendent saw Liu Wei and smiled, wondering: "What did you find?"
Holding a vase over one meter high, Liu Wei waved to the senior superintendent, "Come and see!"
The senior superintendent walked up and looked closely at the vase Liu Wei held, which was similar to the results of their previous search, and nothing was found.
The senior superintendent looked at Liu Wei with a puzzled face, and Liu Wei smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Most of the porcelain sold in this shop is large-scale porcelain, and there are few household porcelains like bowls and pots. , Can you estimate the height of these porcelains to fit ivory?"
The senior superintendent's eyes widened and he realized.
When smuggling gangs commit crimes, they will certainly not be foolish enough to transport ivory out, the police and customs will find out.
They will definitely find things for packing.
The large-capacity porcelain in the porcelain shop just meets this condition, and here is also a transit point for smuggling gangs, which means that the real business of the porcelain shop is to package smuggled goods.
In the eyes of the surrounding residents, this is a company that sells porcelain and lighting. Presumably selling lighting is used to better confuse the surrounding residents. People in market towns can come here to buy if they have lighting needs, so that they can operate for a long time. Going on, even if the porcelain business is not good in the eyes of outsiders, no one doubts the true intention of this shop here.
Liu Wei crouched down and looked at the vase in front of him, and shook his head. "China has been a major porcelain producer since ancient times. At present, these porcelains are at most rough in China. Who would like to see these porcelains if they were bought abroad? It may only be possible to obtain a little market in Africa.
But if the use of rough porcelain as a tool for smuggling crimes, then the operating costs of smuggling gangs will be reduced, and their profits will be higher.
The greed of the smuggling gangs betrayed them. The ivory and low-cost tools seized last night can prove that the smuggling gangs have some conflicts of interest with the forces behind them!"
After listening to Liu Wei’s analysis, the senior superintendent immediately went out to make a phone call.
The call was made to the chief inspector in charge of the case at the Bangkok Police Department.
He mentioned the idea of ​​ivory hidden in porcelain on the phone, prompting the Bangkok police and customs to focus on the import and export of porcelain when inspecting import and export items, especially the burning of rough porcelain.
After speaking on the phone, the senior superintendent came to Liu Wei and sincerely thanked: "Liu Wei, thank you so much, you are an international friend of the Thai police!"
Liu Weidao said: "If the smuggled ivory can be found at the port, it is possible to follow the clues to find the power behind the smuggling gang.
However, it feels to me that it is not that simple, and the interest chain behind it may exceed our imagination!"
The Senior Superintendent understood Liu Wei’s words and firmly said:
Liu Wei, I can tell you now that the Director is paying close attention to this smuggling case. No matter how powerful the background is, the Thai police will also arrest them!

Liu Wei froze for a moment.
The director personally supervises!
That is related to the Thai royal family.
The director is the highest position in the Thai police system and is awarded by the Thai royal family, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Public Security in China.
Liu Wei smiled and nodded, "I wish you all the best to solve the big case in advance!"
The senior superintendent said: "The next most important task is to find the nest of the smuggling gangs, use them to conflict with the interests of the forces behind them, and dig out the chain of interests behind!"
Liu Weidao: "If the port gains, you will get more clues!"
The senior superintendent nodded, and his fighting spirit ignited in his heart.
After a while, the police officer who went out to investigate the road came over with the printed Batongchai road map.
The senior superintendent stared at the country roads distributed in the area of ​​Batongchai, worrying that there were at least ten roads on the drawings, and which one was correct?
It was difficult for him to draw a conclusion in a moment.
"Can you show me?" Liu Wei asked.
"Of course!" The Senior Superintendent has completely trusted Liu Wei, and readily handed the drawings to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei flipped through the drawings one by one, focusing on observing some striking signs around the road, looking at the road and winding, and seeing nothing, but some clues might be found in comparison with the surrounding environment.
When looking through the seventh drawing, Liu Wei found a triangle sign drawn from the side of the road into the mountain pass, and annotated the sign at the bottom of the drawing.
The note reads: "Indochinese Tiger Key Activity Area"!
Liu Wei smiled and asked, "In Thailand, what is the protection level of the Indochinese tiger?"
Senior Superintendent said: "National level!"
"Is there any express law in Thailand that prohibits humans from engaging in production and business activities in areas where the distribution of first-level protected animals?" Liu Wei asked.
The senior superintendent nodded.
"It should not be wrong, this is the way!" Liu Wei said with a drawing.
The senior superintendent twitched his head and thought according to Liu Wei's question, and understood the basis of Liu Wei's judgment.
"Ready to act!" The senior superintendent turned back and ordered the police officer.
Liu Wei immediately persuaded: "It's too risky for you to rush in like this. Imagine that smuggling gangs have been engaged in smuggling criminal activities for many years. Why are they so confident that they won't be caught by the police?
One is because their action plans seem to be well-planned and easy to confuse the police.
The second is that they think their base is very safe, because they think that it is impossible for the police to think about the Indochina tiger. After all, it is clearly stipulated by the law. They are exploiting the law. There can be no support from the armed forces.
With your current police force equivalent to death, you are also stunned, and the next step is even more difficult! "
"Do you have any better suggestions?" The senior superintendent agreed with Liu Wei's analysis.
Liu Wei said: "I can help you explore the situation first!"
