Dai Li looked carefully. On one of the Thai’s arms, except for a tattoo, there were several red dots.
These look like scars made by injections, which are quite fresh. Is this guy coming from the hospital? Dai Li suddenly felt that sothing was wrong.
He took his phone and looked up the official page for the Road Cycling Race around Juyongguan, then searched through it cautiously. After a while, he raised his head.
This race has a urine test; the participants shouldn’t have received any injections recently, otherwise they won’t pass the examination.
Dai Li pretended to play with his phone while he continued observing the Thais. Several minutes later, another Thai also rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arm. The sa three red dots could be seen on his arm.
Another one? Dai Li squinted his eyes. He had made a wild guess.
Chong Lin is here for undercover duties. I rember that he works for the Anti-Drug Brigade. There are more than twenty Thais in total, and they are not athletes at all; they are pretending to be athletes so they can pass through Customs. In addition, their athletic abilities are surprisingly low, which ans that they are in poor physical condition. That, plus the needle marks on their arms...
Dai Li felt that he was quite close to the truth.
I don’t know whether Chong Lin knows all that information or not. Dai Li looked at the group of Thais, noticing that they were about to leave. Dai Li hesitated for a second, then returned to the terminal’s arrival area.
In the hall, Chong Lin was still looking around. It seed as if he was searching for sothing. Seeing this, Dai Li imdiately moved closer.
"Coach Li, why have you co back? Are you here to pick up soone else?" Chong Lin saw Dai Li.
Dai Li lowered his voice and asked, "Officer Lin, are you waiting for drug dealers?"
Chong Lin shook his head. "Coach Li, I am on duty; I can’t tell you any details about my job or what I’m doing. We have rules; please understand."
Dai Li smiled. Chong Lin was a police officer for the Anti-Drug Brigade; his only job was to catch drug dealers.
...
At the sa ti, in a little room not far from there, Chong Lin and Dai Li’s conversation had passed through electronic devices.
The Anti-Drug Brigade leader, Dahu Fu, was in charge of the operation. He had already noticed on the monitor screen that Dai Li was talking to Chong Lin.
How co Chong Lin’s friend has returned? If he keeps doing so, he will interrupt our mission! Dahu Fu took the microphone and prepared to order Chong Lin to send Dai Li away, but then he heard the conversation.
"Officer Lin, are you waiting for drug dealers?"
"Coach Li, I am on duty; sorry, but I can’t tell you any details about what I’m doing. We have rules; please understand."
Dahu Fu frowned his eyebrows at once. What is Chong Lin’s friend doing? Why is he asking? He already left once; why dod he co back? He is asking about what we’re doing; does he have so ulterior motive?
Dahu Fu was beginning to suspect Dai Li. As the leader of the Anti-Drug Brigade, he had been fighting drug dealers for more than twenty years. He had developed the habit of suspecting people who asked too many questions.
Chong Lin called him "Coach Li"; is he a sports coach, or a driving school coach? Dahu Fu lowered his head and thought for a while. He planned to look into Dai Li by himself.
...
anwhile, Dai Li continued asking, "Officer Lin, the drug dealers you are waiting for—are they coming from Thailand?"
Chong Lin did not answer, nor did he change his facial expression. He was indeed a good undercover cop with outstanding psychological strength; even when Dai Li asked a crucial question, he didn’t show any change in emotion. It was as if Dai Li was talking about sothing that had nothing to do with him.
Dai Li continued, "If your target is from Thailand, perhaps I can help you as a Chaoyang local, and give you a tip."
Chong Lin still looked indifferent, but Dahu Fu, who was in the command center, took the microphone.
"Chong Lin, invite this Coach Li to the command center," said Dahu Fu.
Chong Lin imdiately nodded, "Coach Li, our leader would like to et you."
"No problem!" Dai Li nodded in agreent, then followed Chong Lin into the command center. In the room, Dai Li t Dahu Fu.
"This is our Anti-Drug Brigade leader, Fudui!" Chong Lin introduced. He seed to worry that Dai Li would misunderstood the aning of "Fudui", so he added, "Captain Dahu Fu."
"Nice to et you, Captain Fu," said Dai Li. Without Chong Lin’s explanation, he would have thought that the man was a vice captain.
"Nice to et you, Coach Li. We have heard about your conversation with Chong Lin. What kind of clues can you offer?" Dahu Fu asked directly.
"I’m not sure about your tasks in detail, but if you are planning to catch drug dealers from Thailand, I have found so suspects." Dai Li wasn’t planning to hide anything, so he said straightforwardly, "Huajing is going to hold a Road Bicycle Race around Juyongguan,.I think the drug dealers may have disguised themselves as Thai athletes."
Dahu Fu signaled to a policeman who was sitting next to the computer, then asked, "Coach Li, what’s the basis for your assumption?"
"Thailand has sent more than twenty people. I sense that they are not athletes," Dai Li said. He could not tell Dahu Fu that after detecting them he had found that the Thais were all ordinary people, let alone that they were the weakest among ordinary people.
"You sense?" Dahu Fu snorted upon hearing Dai Li’s response. He replied, "Coach Li, you may not be familiar with the process of handling our cases. We always solve problems based on real evidence, not our senses."
Chong Lin then explained hurriedly, "Captain Fu, Coach Li is a professional sports coach, and he works with the national team."
"Oh? Coach Li looks so young. I didn’t know that you were a national team coach; sorry about that," Dahu Fu replied.
Because Dai Li was coaching on the national team at such a young age, Dahu Fu had not expected it. However, it was hard to convince Dahu Fu Dai Li was right purely based off what he felt.
Dai Li continued: "I’m a sports coach, and I’m quite good with athletes. In my professional opinion, none of the Thais are professional cyclists. This Bicycle Race has pretty high standards, and the participants are all professionals. Because of this, this Thai team is suspicious."
"You coaches can tell whether soone is an athlete or not just by looking at them?" Dahu Fu didn’t believe it.
Having been a policeman for more than twenty years, he could not tell whether a person was a criminal or not simply by taking a glance at them. Dai Li was such a young coach that when he said he could tell if a person was an athlete or not just by looking at the,, Dahu Fu naturally thought that he was boasting.
Dai Li didn’t argue. He had made the judgent using the detector, which was impossible to explain. Dai Li was planning to tell Dahu Fu about the needle marks on Thais’ arms.
However, before he spoke, the policeman who was sitting in front of the computer said, "Captain Fu, I’ve found the results; the Thailand cycling team is called the ’Jinxin Team,’ and 23 people in total have passed Customs. They used the airport’s special pass for cyclists."
"Special pass? Does that an they didn’t go through the new milliter wave imaging detector?" Dahu Fu imdiately asked.
The policeman nodded his head in confirmation. He kept typing for a while, then said, "I also saw that this Jinxin Team was ford half a year ago, right after the announcent of the Road Bicycle Race around Juyongguan!"
Dahu Fu seed to realize sothing. He suddenly stared at Dai Li as if he had seen a ghost.
National team coaches are amazing. how can they judge whether soone is an athlete or not just by looking at them?!
