Couple
with cocaine found in
wine consignment border situation 3: The girls
who transported drugs across the border a couple illegally consigned wine to a so-called friend with enough cocaine to put them to death.
One autumn evening, a plane came from Peru, South America, and landed at our port. I was on duty
that day. There were more than 200 people on the plane. Thanks to the manifest system, we had basically screened the people at risk. The highest risk person on the plane was a woman who declared 32 bottles of red wine in her checked luggage and packed two suitcases, which was very strange in itself. Because the average person who travels or does business can’t buy so much red wine back home, and Peru is not the main producing area of red wine at all. The owner of
the consignment, surnamed Zhao, a 30-year-old woman, bought the ticket with her husband, surnamed Yang, 31. The two of them have a normal record of outbound activities. They do not travel abroad frequently, nor do they have the experience of returning home within a few days of arriving at a place. They have been in Peru for more than three months this time. They do not look like the kind of people they met before who go back and forth to help others bring goods. However, it is very strange to consign 32 bottles of red wine into the country.
After the system showed that there was a risk, I informed Section Chief Sun of the Private Investigation Section and asked him to be prepared. Such a long time of experience has made me suspect that there must be something wrong with these wines. From the moment we
got off the plane, we began to pay attention to these two people. From the camera, their posture and behavior were quite normal. They were not as nervous as the people we used to control from beginning to end. They came out of the corridor of the plane in an orderly way, and then went to the baggage claim area to pick up their luggage. The two suitcases of 32 bottles of red wine were very difficult for them to carry, after all, they were heavy things. After
picking up their luggage, they went to the exit channel of our customs. I thought they would choose to declare their wine, but these two people chose the non-declaration channel. Four of my colleagues and I watched them put all the suitcases on our X-ray machine, and I felt it was a little hard to lift them. The woman is wearing a red skirt and a very thin coat. She is very fashionable and beautiful. She has big eyes, white skin and is more than 1.6 meters tall. The man is wearing a white T-shirt, a thin sports coat and khaki sports pants. He looks like an ordinary southern man. The image of the
X-ray machine is quite normal. There are some daily necessities in two boxes, and the other two boxes are green and black columnar images, which are obviously red wine. After
they went through the X-ray machine, I asked Jin Hui to call the two people over.
I asked for both of their passports, looked at their passport information and immigration records, and knew that they were both natives of our place. Then I asked the owner of the consignment, “Hello, Ms. Zhao, what’s in the box?”
She said, “It’s some red wine. Our friends in China like it. We brought it here for them.”
I asked, “Don’t you fill out a declaration form for this wine?”
She said, “What kind of declaration form? No one has ever asked me to fill it out before.”
I didn’t want to tangle with them on this issue at that time. In fact, when entering and leaving the country, all flights or teams will issue customs declarations for everyone to fill in. Only one bottle of alcohol of 12 degrees or above can be brought. You can know this policy by reading the declaration or understanding the policy of entry and exit. They have been fined a lot of money for these wines which have not been declared for entry.
I opened the two suitcases and saw that the red wine was packed in inflatable plastic, the kind of inflatable plastic we use to mail fragile goods. I asked, “Are you two husband and wife?”? What are you doing in Peru this time?
The woman immediately said, “Yes, yes, we have been married for three years. We are doing some small commodity business in Peru, all of which are sold in China, and the sales are very good.” Seeing that I did not speak, she asked me, “Is this illegal?”
I said, “You have violated the customs entry policy by bringing so much wine back. We need to do further inspection and we need you to come to the back.”
The man raised his voice and said, “It’s not a big illegal thing. You should pay for it. Why do you make it so complicated?” He said, glancing at his wife.
I immediately said with dignity, “Sir, please cooperate with our inspection!”
I asked Jin Hui to take the soldiers to drag all their suitcases to the back, and then another colleague and soldiers asked them to go to our duty room. They looked at each other and followed us.
When they arrived at the duty room, I asked the soldiers to take away their mobile phones and then asked, “How much do you charge for bringing back so much wine?”
I obviously noticed that the two of them were stunned, but the man frowned and immediately said, “I don’t have any money. I just want to bring something back for a friend. It’s normal for Chinese people to help each other when they’re away from home!”.
I asked the woman, “Ms. Chao, didn’t you take any money?”
She clasped her hands together, then looked at me and said with certainty, “No.”
Then I came out of the duty room and called Chief Sun and said, “Sun Fo, there must be a problem here. Come here. I think it’s at least the problem of alcohol smuggling.” After calling section chief
Sun, I went to the room of Jin Hui. Together with the soldiers, he took down all the inflatable plastics of the red wine. Red wine should be produced locally in South America. The language on the label is not English, German or French. Looking at the simple packaging, I don’t think it’s a particularly valuable thing.
“Dong Ke, what’s to be done later?” Jin Hui asked me.
I said, “Open a bottle and test it for drugs.” Not long ago, we just came across jeans soaked with cocaine from South America. Other customs colleagues also seized drugs dissolved in alcohol. After reading the label of the package, I felt that these red wines were definitely not as simple as alcohol smuggling.
Jin Hui quickly opened a bottle of red wine, and then we opened the drug test box for experiments. After using several test strips, we soon found that the color of the positive reaction in the red wine was basically the same as that of cocaine. Just then, Section Chief Sun arrived with two men. I said to him, “Sun Fo, it’s not alcohol smuggling, it’s cocaine hidden in red wine. With so much red wine, it should be a big case.”. I will report to Director Li. Section Chief
Sun looked at the results of the drug test paper and then said to me, “Xiao Dong, quickly separate these two people, and we will try them now.”. Hurry up! He said to the other two people who had brought him, “Xiao Su and I and Dong Keke’s people, the three of us will interrogate the man, and Xiao Lu and Dong Ke will call a female colleague to ask about the woman.”
I immediately called Director Li, who said he would bring someone here, and then I asked the people in the department to make arrangements for the work. Then he went with Section Chief Sun to the duty room where the two men were. The soldiers looked at the two of them. They were sitting quietly in their chairs. Chief
Sun said, “We are from the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, and we need to find out something about the red wine we brought into the country today.” The uniform of
the Anti-smuggling Bureau is the uniform of the police, which is different from ours. The man looked at it and said, “When it’s just a few bottles of wine, do you still call the police?”? You customs know how to bully the Chinese! “Don’t talk nonsense, Yang Chang-hui,” he
shouted. “Come with me!” Then he said to me, “Dong Ke, you can stay here while Xiao Lu comes to ask questions.”
I nodded, and section chief Sun and his colleagues took the man out.
Xiao Lu sat down and asked the woman, “Zhao Yunyun, you are now suspected of carrying cocaine into the country. Our next question will decide whether you live or die.”? Do you know “Ah,”
she said, “I don’t know. What cocaine?”
Xiao Lu said: “You brought cocaine into the country by hiding it in red wine. All 32 bottles of red wine contain cocaine. It is estimated that the amount is huge. You are now suspected of smuggling drugs into the country. Now you must cooperate with our investigation, otherwise it will have a serious impact on your life.”
I put in a word and said, “If you don’t confess, you will be sentenced to death.”
The woman said, “I brought it for someone else. I don’t know. Those red wines belong to my friends, not me!”
I immediately said sternly, “Now I ask you again, who gave you these things? Who are you going to give them to later? How much did you get for this time?”
She didn’t dare to look at me again and said, “I really don’t know. I brought this wine to my husband’s friend. I don’t know what kind of friend he is. I don’t know who I gave it to when I came. My husband took a little money, but it was very small. I really don’t know exactly how much.”. At first I thought these things were heavy, and I didn’t want to help them carry them. “When will the goods be delivered?” Asked
Xiao Lu.
The woman said, “I really don’t know. It was my husband who contacted me.” The two of
us felt as if we couldn’t get anything out of her, so we asked the soldier to watch her, let her unlock her cell phone, and then came out. I asked Xiao Lu, “Do you think what she said is true?” “I don’t know,”
she said, “but I think it’s true. Let’s wait and see what happens to Sun Fo.”
In the process, I turned her mobile phone for a long time, including WeChat and text messages, as well as some photos and so on, and found nothing unusual.
After a while, Chief Sun came out of a nearby room and said to us, “What’s the situation over there?” “The woman said she didn’t know anything. She said her husband’s friend brought her the phone. We checked it and didn’t find anything wrong,”
Lu said. Chief
Sun frowned and said, “It’s the same as what the man said. The man said that his wife’s friend asked them to bring the wine. He also said that he gave his wife five hundred dollars.”
I added, “The woman said the money was for the man. She didn’t know how much.” Section
Chief Sun said, “Let’s exchange it and review it and discuss it again. There is nothing unusual about this man’s mobile phone.”. These two people still don’t understand the situation.
By this time, Director Li and his people had already arrived. We reported the situation to him. He said, “I have brought all the technical and material evidence. I will arrange for the technical investigators to extract the contents of the red wine first, and then we will examine these two people at the same time.”. I’ll take someone to interrogate this man. Old Sun, you’re interrogating this woman this time. We don’t have much time.
If these two people do not confess, we are afraid that the downline will disappear from now on, and we may miss the opportunity to crack a big transnational case.
I applied to be in a group with Director Li to listen to the trial of this group, and the people led by Director Li had already equipped with real-time interactive headphones.
When we entered another room, the man saw us come in again and stood up, but was pushed down by the armed police soldiers on the side. Director
Li said directly, “I am the deputy director of the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, the leader of several people just now. Your case is very big. I estimate that there are always one or two kilograms of cocaine in so many red wines. It is enough to shoot you dozens of times.”. I can’t help you if you don’t tell me the truth. Just now they told me that you have been refusing to cooperate with our work. “Leader, I really don’t know!” Said the
man with a tearful expression.
I said, “As your wife said over there just now, these things are all yours, and you have taken money from your friends.”. Now all you have to do is tell us who to give the wine to later.
The man was about to jump up, but he was pushed down again. He shouted, “She said so!”! ***ing idiot! Her best friend asked her to bring something. I told her how many times she earned more than three thousand yuan. She was so tired. Why did she want to do this! I was scolded by her three or four times in order not to carry so many heavy things, and she insisted on helping me! What is she, her! Director
Li said, “Be Honest. You are not allowed to talk like that!” When
the man came in, he said, “You are all men. Do you go out with so many things?”? One of her Chinese friends in Peru asked her to bring these things. I always opposed it. Later, he said that I was making a mountain out of a molehill and how good her best friend was. When a woman talks, she doesn’t understand anything, and she just listens to her best friend! She usually listens to her best friend. I don’t keep my word at all. My best friend says that the man is not good, and she quarrels with me. At first, it was my best friend who dragged me to do some small business, and she had to drag me along! He sighed and said, “My home is here. Where can’t I find a job?” Director
Li asked, “Well, is your best friend who went to Peru to do business the same as the best friend who let her bring goods this time?”
The man said, “I don’t know. They have a small circle. I don’t want to join them without men.”. I think they’re a bunch of idiots. They don’t think about how to make money every day, they think about how to spend money! Director
Li said, “Don’t be so emotional. Our people should have told you just now that if you don’t cooperate with our work, the cocaine will be on your head.”. Our people have just told you about the situation and the seriousness of it, so you can judge for yourself.
The man said, “What I said is true. The leader, the prodigal, buys this and that with a group of women every day. We haven’t made any money in Peru for more than a year, but we buy a lot. They are all from their hometown.”
“Okay, we understand the situation, and you don’t have to say anything that has nothing to do with the case.” Director Li said.
Later, Director Li asked some other questions about his family. Through the walkie-talkie in his ear, we could also hear the situation of Section Chief Sun. The woman in the next room still did not explain, still said that her husband’s friend asked to bring, asked her husband who her friend was, she could not say.
After a while, Director Li gathered all of us together and said, “We’ve heard about the situation on Sun Fo’s side just now, and we’re still starting to break through from the woman’s side. Her mood swings are not big, and she’s obviously holding back. She should be able to break through soon.”. I’ve already told the technical investigators to work overtime today to figure out the amount of cocaine and the biological samples on the red wine. I’ll interrogate this woman later. No one has contacted them for such a long time, so I guess there’s not much hope. The time of
inbound flights generally does not change much, generally speaking, offline should be the time to grasp the landing of the aircraft. But after three hours, these two people’s mobile phones have not received any notification, we estimate that it should be very difficult to catch the offline.
He and Director Li went to the duty room where the woman was locked up. Director Li said directly, “Your husband has just explained everything. It was your female friend who asked you to bring this batch of red wine. He also explained that you wanted to bring the income of this batch of red wine.”. He said he didn’t know, and he was trying to dissuade you, but you didn’t listen. If someone contacts you later, we will ask your husband to take charge of the follow-up. But it means all the blame will be on you. Think about it. If he doesn’t know and cooperate with our work, then you should be sentenced to death. And it seems that your husband thinks the result is quite good.
The woman twitched a little. She raised her head and asked Director Li, “He said he didn’t know!”! This man is so shameless at home! Hypocritical to the core! Is this person, let me such a simple woman to look directly at the darkness of society! Is that good? She looked at Xiao Lu and said.
I was a little shocked, because she didn’t speak like that just now.
She went on to say, “This man doesn’t have a word of truth. Usually, he often has an affair with many women and steps on N boats!”! Since he is such a person, I can work with you. Director
Li said, “We can talk about your family affairs later. If you had explained earlier, your situation would be much better than it is now.”. Now, first of all, I want to clarify two questions: where did the red wine come from and who should it be given to?
The woman said, “We did bring the red wine for our friends, and they said it was red wine.”. It’s a friend’s family, but my husband knew this family first. There are many Chinese people there. He idles around and plays with these people. My friends originally thought that Peru was doing a good job in making some small commodities. They asked me to come with them. I was too busy to ask him to come with me. I didn’t expect that when he came here, he knew how to play, and he didn’t work well. He also played with a group of friends. They said they had given the money, but they said it was for my husband, and they went to get it the day they gave the money.
We listened quietly as she accused her husband, and the way her husband accused her seemed to be similar, but the two people’s statements were still very inconsistent. Director
Li said, “Go on, who are you going to deliver the goods to when they arrive?”
She said, “When we get there, we will contact a friend tomorrow, and the friend will come to pick it up.” Director
Lee immediately asked, “Who is this man and where is he?”
The woman said, “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll call my husband tomorrow.” Director
Lee pounded the table, stood up and shouted, “We’re giving you a chance now!”! Don’t play games with us here. Tell us honestly who will come to you tomorrow to get the goods! The
woman trembled with fear and said, “I really don’t know. I took the money for him. I really don’t know who will come later.” She lowered her head and looked at Director Li.
I have been involved in so many drug cases, but this time, what is the situation of these two people, I really feel a little puzzled, Director Li seems not to want to waste time. Motioned for all three of us in the room to come out except the two soldiers.
I asked him, “Sun Fo, have you ever tried a case like this before?” “When I was in the Bureau of Investigation, the case was much more complicated than this,”
Sun said. “It was normal to bite each other. They said it was good to smuggle, but in fact there was no brotherhood. But I’ve never seen a couple like this before, and the connection between drugs entering the country before was very simple. This is the first time I’ve seen such a complicated way to bring so many drugs here.
At this point, Xiao Lu chimed in: “These two people should have had some problems in their marriage, but I think it should be this man who has a bigger problem.” Director
Li said, “It doesn’t matter. We’ve already made a lot of progress. At least we know that someone will come to pick up the goods tomorrow. Maybe we’ll have a chance to catch someone off the production line. These two people still have to be examined. We’ve spent so much time at the port, and the port is about to get off work. We’ll go back to the port and examine it.” Then he said to me, “Xiao Dong, send someone here to go back with us and watch. It’s hard for you again this time.”
In fact, at that time, I wanted to know what was going on, so I happily agreed. Anyway, we often worked overtime. Compared with catching people and receiving tasks, it was really easier to go back to Guanli to see people. On the way
back, I took this man with section chief Sun and Jin Hui, and we handcuffed him to the doorknob in the back row. After
a while, Chief Sun lit a cigarette for her and said to him, “Isn’t your wife very fierce?”
The man took the cigarette, smoked two puffs, and did not speak. Section
Chief Sun said, “I can basically see that this thing should be done by her. My wife is also very fierce, and she is in charge of everything.”. I don’t think you dare to quarrel with her in front of him, but you dare to lose your temper when she is not there. Just now she said it was all you, and that someone would contact you tomorrow.
The man exhaled his cigarette and said, “I knew she said that.”. I don’t know who contacted me. I really knew the one who brought the goods first, and they said they would bring something back before. At first, I thought it was a small thing, so I agreed, but I didn’t think it was such a heavy thing, so I didn’t agree again. Later, she played very well with that man’s wife, and became her best friend. So many things are still fragile, and this money is still so troublesome, so I have not been prepared to do it! She took money from other people and insisted that I do it! Section
Chief Sun talked to her about her family again, and I was listening. I found that middle-aged men have complicated feelings for their wives, and I can’t understand them without a partner. But after lighting two or three cigarettes, it seems that the man is a little relaxed.
At night, they were placed in different holding rooms with iron railings on the 14th floor. The first time the drug trafficking girl was held in such a place, it seemed to me that it had been a long time ago. The man was inside and I was outside. I said to him, “The first time I caught a drug smuggler, it was a girl with two kilograms of heroin. At first, she didn’t say anything and talked to me. But in the evening, her mother called her and we told her that she was going to be sentenced to death. She panicked.” The
man put his hand on the iron railing and asked, “What do you mean?”
I said, “I mean, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for you. Hurry up, or you two will not escape and be shot together.” When
I told him these words in a very playful and story-telling tone, he thought about it and then said to me, “Leader, I really don’t know who is going to contact me. In this way, no matter who contacts me tomorrow, I will cooperate with you!”! My wife is so stupid, and she likes to be greedy for petty advantages. With this little money to do this kind of thing, who would do it? When
I just wanted to chat with him, Director Li called me out to the small conference room on the side. I came out and saw several of us. She called us out. In addition, colleagues from the technical department and the investigation department were also there. He said: “Cocaine is about two kilograms, and then these bottles have evidence that two people have touched them, but the specific DNA results have to be done later. I think these two people are not telling the truth now. What do you think?”
I said, “Just now the man said that if there was a call tomorrow, he would certainly cooperate with us.” Chief
Sun says, “The key now is not to judge whether it’s true or not. Both of them have big problems. Maybe it’s possible that they haven’t been called. They’ve been arrested for so long, and there are no useful clues yet.” After
everyone had expressed their opinions, Director Li said, “Let’s do the work according to the idea of having a phone call. I’ll take the investigation department to ask the two people again later.” At the end of the
meeting, Director Li and his men started a new round of interrogation, but because they were no longer at my port, they did not ask me to participate. After the man was taken away for more than hour, he returned to this small room. I and the soldiers locked him up, and he asked me, “Are you married?” At that time,
I felt that this man was really ungrateful, and at this time he still asked me this kind of question. I didn’t want to talk to him any more, so I said, “No, go to bed quickly!”! I have something to do tomorrow! I didn’t ask what I shouldn’t have
asked, and I didn’t ask how the trial was going. It wasn’t long before I slept on the camp bed, and I didn’t care about the man’s nagging-anyway, he couldn’t run away from it.
The next morning, when I was still sleeping, section chief Sun came over. I looked at my watch and it was only half past six. Holding the phone, Chief Sun said to the man, “a strange caller, answer the phone quickly.” As soon as he finished, Director Li came in with two people, and their eyes were bloodshot.
The man quickly reached out his hand to pick up the phone and turned on the speakerphone. A woman’s voice came from the phone: “Have you and Yun Yun arrived?”? Send it to us today.
The man said, “It arrived last night. Where can I send it?” He said on the
phone, “Send it to the small commodity market in the west of the city of Lingang. You can search it on the map. The one on Yinchuan Road. Drive here. Call me when you get there.”
The man said, “Yes.” The phone was hung up like this. The city
she said is more than 200 kilometers away from here, not particularly far, but we haven’t been to the small commodity market. Director Lee asked him, Do you have a car at home? Have you ever seen this man?
He said, No. I used to drive my parents’ car to take my wife, and then I went to Peru. I haven’t driven it for a long time. Director
Li said, “We’ll arrange a car for you. If you have something to do, you can say it’s your friend’s.”
The man said yes. After I
came out, I asked Section Chief Sun, “What did the woman say yesterday?”? Why did the other side just say the address? Is there a problem? Chief
Sun said, “The woman still said that the man was picking up the goods. She didn’t know the person who was picking up the goods here.”. However, she also said that if someone called, she would cooperate with the work, but so far no one has called, and instead she has called this man.
Things were arranged properly, and I was arranged to go home. I didn’t know their subsequent arrest process, but it went smoothly. They arranged people in the man’s SUV, went to the shop in the small commodity market, and then arrested all the people in the shop. There was no disturbance. It was said that they quickly confessed the whole thing. I heard the
following story from section chief Sun. The people who got off the line and explained the subsequent drug distribution were also seized by us together with the local police. But because the network is very new, we did not catch too many people. The offline of the small commodity city said that the woman asked them to contact her husband directly, and asked them to call directly the next day before boarding the plane from Peru.
Later, after catching the offline, together with the DNA evidence on the red wine bottle behind, the young couple who was caught in front of me explained some of the contents, and I also participated in the collation of the follow-up files of some cases. Sure enough, neither of them told the truth. The man told the truth a little more. At first, he contacted him, but after the money was taken away by his wife, he really didn’t want to do it. But his wife thought it was good to help the little sister bring something to make money, and she thought the man was lazy and unwilling to do it. Therefore, men have been required to participate in packaging, handling and receiving goods after arrival.
Peru asked them to bring the goods. They didn’t know the details at all. According to the names they provided, we couldn’t find them at all. Later, the case was finalized. It should be a Chinese or ethnic Chinese who had already acquired foreign nationality very early. In China, according to the entry and exit records, it could not be found at all. The woman didn’t even know the downline, but they pulled a group, and the downline woman was the little sister of the woman in the family in Peru, who was a fellow villager and business acquaintance, and her task was to mail the little sister’s red wine to various places. After everything was
over, we took the two talented people to the detention center, and they met again briefly. The woman said, “It’s really bad luck to be with you!” The man immediately rushed to hit her, but was immediately pulled by our soldiers, and then the two men scolded each other a few words. When he got on the bus to the detention center, the man was still saying, “I’m really unlucky to marry such a fool!” I feel that they should not understand each other, but it does not matter, they should not meet again in this life. I was confused at the beginning of
this case, but I didn’t expect the end to be so simple. Zhao Yunyun herself knew that there might be some problems with red wine, but she still had no experience in doing bad things. The case of female college students helping black men transport drugs before I handled was more difficult to investigate than this. The first two people quarreled with each other because the relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious, not because there were a lot of complicated things I thought at the beginning.
But one day I quite agreed with that man, that is, this woman was really stupid. It was a thankless task to bring two boxes of red wine for five hundred dollars. She didn’t cooperate with the police when things happened. Then since she did bad things, she didn’t even have a little plan. The little sister did what she was told to do. And let the person behind even directly contact her husband, do not do any preventive measures, as long as a slight time difference with the upper and lower lines, and do not cooperate with the work, this case is very difficult to deal with. Director Li, Section Chief Sun and
I were really worried too much, thinking that the offline would be broken after a long time, but facts have proved that with this level of greed for small advantages and organizational work, there is no such problem at all-I believe she can’t do business in Peru. After the
materials were sorted out, the follow-up work was handed over to the procuratorate, and I ended the highest and lowest case in my anti-drug career. However, it was later said that one of them was sentenced to 20 years, the other was sentenced to death with a reprieve, and the other arrested people were also punished by law.
Another reminder, if you want to go abroad, never, never help anyone bring anything into or out of the country, whether you have money or not, whether you are familiar with the person or not, don’t help others bring anything!
Even if there are no illegal items, many things that are not declared for entry and exit can be counted as your smuggling behavior, and you will be held in administrative detention or fined!
