The bodies of the twelve bodies were covered with bullet holes, some had their eyes gouged out, some had their ears cut off, some had their throats slit, and their hands and feet were torn apart.

"You police should have had videos and photos when they found the body, right?" Ye Zhengren asked with a dark face to the Chief Inspector of Internal Security, Lunchai Xiou.

"Yes! When you return to Chiang Rai after watching the scene, we will hand over this evidence to you!" Lunchai Theo nodded.

"Hmm!" Ye Zhengren nodded, and then said to Kui Kui behind him: "Xiao Zhang, you take the forensic doctor here to collect evidence first, and the others will follow me to the scene!" Ye Zhengren nodded and said.

"Yes!" Kui Kui and the two medical examiners immediately replied loudly.

Lunchai Xiou led everyone to the cargo ships "Hua Ping" and "Yuxing 8" docked at Chiang Saen Wharf, and Ye Zhengren immediately said to everyone with two cargo ships full of bullet holes: "Fu Zhiwei!"

"Here!" Fu Zhiwei, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, immediately replied loudly.

"You take someone to investigate the scene immediately, and you can't let go of any clues!" Ye Zhengren ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

"Vice Minister Zhao! Deputy Chief of Staff Jin! You should take people to visit the surrounding area and look for eyewitnesses!" Ye Zhengren ordered to Vice Foreign Minister Zhao Yonghui and Jin Qingshi.

"Okay!" Zhao Yonghui nodded immediately.

"Yes!" replied loudly.

Fu Zhiwei immediately went up to the Huaping and Yuxing 8 with trace experts, while Jin Qingshi and Zhao Yonghui walked towards the cargo ship docked at the dock with two personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Four policemen in police uniforms immediately followed behind the four people, and Zhao Yonghui whispered to Jin Qingshi: "Chief of Staff Jin! Are the Thai police sending people to protect us, or are they spying on us?"

"It depends on the expression of the person we ask us! If they look away and don't know anything, it means that these people are spying on us!" replied in a low voice.

"Let's ask the locals first, and then look for a Chinese cargo ship to ask, and after comparing the two results, we should know the accurate information!"

"Well, let's go our separate ways! I don't speak Thai very well, so I'm going to look for the Chinese cargo ship!" Jin Qingshi nodded.

"Okay!" Zhao Yonghui thought for a moment.

Jin Qingshi had just separated from Zhao Yonghui when a policeman immediately followed him.

Since the tragedy, most Chinese cargo ships have stopped shipping on the Mekong, and the Chiang Saen docks are full of Thai, Burmese, Laos and Vietnamese, but the total number of ships does not exceed five.

Jin Qingshi was walking slowly on the dock, and suddenly a cargo ship with a five-star red flag drove over from a distance, and Jin Qingshi hurriedly walked over.

A cargo ship loaded with containers slowly docked on the dock, a crew member about thirty years old, shirtless, with bronzed skin, pulled the cable and quickly jumped to the shore, he put the cable on the iron post on the dock, the cable immediately began to crumble little by little.

Jin Qingshi walked quickly to the side of this crew member, took out his ID and smiled at him: "Hello! I am Jin Qingshi, deputy chief of staff of the Chinese Armed Police Headquarters!"

"Oh, may I ask what's the matter?" said the crew, confused.

"Are you coming from within the country, or are you from another country?"

"We just came from Singapore, and after unloading the containers here, we loaded them with fruit and headed home! Why did the Chinese soldiers come here?" the crew member asked curiously after reading Jin Qingshi's documents.

"Do you know about the cargo ships "Huaping" and "Yuxing 8"?"

"Oh, we all know the captains of these two boats! Our Longxiang has also been running on the Mekong River for a long time! What happened to them?"

"All the crew members of these two ships were killed, and the Thai police said that these two ships were selling drugs!"

"Ah, drug traffickers, all dead, this can't be!" the man cried out.

"The central government and the state sent a working group and a special task force to investigate this matter, and two cargo ships had a fight with the police near here!"

"Let's get on board and say, the captains of these two cargo ships are good friends with our Captain Chen!" The crew immediately pulled Jin Qingshi and walked towards the cargo ship.

In the cockpit of the "Longxiang", a young man in his thirties, with a bald head and a big vest, saw a frightened crew member walking in with a young man, and he hurriedly asked: "Old Five, what's wrong?"

"Captain! This is the leader of the Chinese Armed Police Corps, they are here to investigate the matter of the cargo ships "Huaping" and "Yuxing No. 8", and I heard him say that all the people on these two ships have been killed!" said Lao Wang anxiously.

"Ah, how is that possible?" cried the young captain in surprise.

"These are all true! They died very miserably! The Thai police said that it was two cargo ships selling drugs, and now we are investigating this matter!" Jin Qingshi nodded.

"This can't be! Both captains are good friends of mine, and I can have my life to guarantee that they will never do anything to sell drugs!" cried the captain at once.

"Can you tell me about them, have you ever had a feud with anyone before?"

"We have known each other for ** years! We usually run boats together, carrying fruits and vegetables, and we go out on boats about two or three times a month, often together. Both of them have very straightforward personalities, and if their friends are in trouble, they will not say a word, and they will contribute with money and strength!" the captain began to choke up at this point, and tears dripped down his cheeks on the deck.

Three minutes later, the captain calmed down and continued: "Last month, when we were loading goods at the port of Banbang in Burma, we were temporarily requisitioned by the Burmese government, and they put guns to our heads, * and drove us to take them to suppress bandits, and it is very likely that those river bandits killed us in order to retaliate against our Chinese cargo ship!"

"Oh, are there a lot of river bandits here?" Jin Qingshi asked with a frown.

"The Mekong River is a link between China, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and since the beginning of this year, there have been nearly 50 robberies in this water. Seventy per cent of cargo ships have been hijacked. This "golden waterway" became the "Devil's Water". Almost every time, some unidentified armed men will be charged 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan for protection. In the "Golden Triangle", it is common for river bandits to build improvised houses on rocks jutting out of the river, surrounded by speedboats and fishing boats. The river bandits would stop the speedboat in front of the merchant ship and then wave to the Chinese crew and signal to stop for inspection. If they don't stop boating, they will shoot and threaten, drive speedboats to chase after them, and some bandits will have machine guns and bazookas on their speedboats!
