Domestically, smuggling ivory is a crime of smuggling precious animals and precious animal products.

If the circumstances are less serious, the offender shall be fined or sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years; if the circumstances are particularly serious, the offender shall be sentenced to life imprisonment or death, and property shall be confiscated.

Although Liu Wei was not aware of the criminalization of ivory smuggling under Thailand's criminal law, judging from the situation in front of him, with so many police forces dispatched to arrest him, this crime must not be a minor one.

Liu Wei blinked. He didn't want to be involved. He just moved his body slightly to get up and explain the situation. The police officer standing next to him and guarding him severely scolded: "Squat down and don't move!"

Now I can only wait until I get back to the police station to explain.

The leader of the on-site command squatted down with the ivory and asked the driver, "Where did it come from?"

The driver looked nervous and his facial muscles were shaking. He glanced left and right, suddenly focused on Liu Wei, pointed at Liu Wei and said: "What's his, everything is his!"

The reason why he made such a move is simple, because Liu Wei is a foreigner and he wants Liu Wei to take the blame.

Liu Wei stared at the driver, dumbfounded.

He wanted to yell, but any unusual behavior at this moment would be detrimental to him.

He held back and continued to wait for a chance to explain.

The leader of the team should be at the level of senior superintendent in terms of police rank. He moved in front of Liu Wei and did not directly ask where the ivory came from. Instead, he asked, "Chinese?"

Liu Wei nodded!

"Take them away! Take them all away!" The senior superintendent stopped asking any questions and ordered the police to take everyone away.

Liu Wei was sitting in the police car, speechless. He was really in trouble.

This kind of thing doesn't happen in India.

But after he calmed down, he noticed something fishy.

One of the very important questions is why the senior police superintendent directly ordered them to be taken away after confirming that he was Chinese?

Is this smuggling case still related to China?

The more Liu Wei thought about it, the more he felt that things might not be as simple as what he saw tonight.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The police car drove directly to the police station in Saraburi City.

Liu Wei, the driver and tonight's passengers were taken to the police station.

The police officer took Liu Wei to the interrogation room and closed the door.

After more than ten minutes, the senior superintendent entered the interrogation room in person with a document in his hand to interrogate Liu Wei.

The senior superintendent asked: "Name, age, nationality..."

These are all general questions.

Liu Wei replied seriously: "Liu Wei, a Chinese, is a wildlife research expert. He has just completed his scientific research in India. He arrived in Bangkok this evening. The purpose of coming to Thailand is to observe the Indochinese tigers and Indochinese tigers in Thailand." The living conditions of leopards..."

Liu Wei spoke in a matter-of-fact manner.

The senior police superintendent smiled contemptuously, thinking that the criminals involved in smuggling ivory are calling themselves experts in wildlife research!

ridiculous!

This was the most comical reply he had ever heard in so many cases.

"Please hand over your passport and identity certificate!" the senior police superintendent said.

Liu Wei guessed from the senior superintendent's face that he probably didn't believe what he said.

A police officer walked up to Liu Wei and asked for his passport and identification!

Liu Wei took it out from his chest pocket and handed the membership card of the China Animal Research Association to the police officer.

The police officer took a closer look. Although he couldn't read Chinese, he recognized the pattern on the membership card.

He intentionally spread out his membership card and handed it to the senior superintendent. The senior superintendent carefully looked at the ID Liu Wei presented and said to the police officer: "Take it and check!"

"Yeah!" The police officer nodded and walked out.

Only Liu Wei and the senior superintendent were left in the interrogation room.

The senior superintendent smiled and said to Liu Wei: "I will no longer interrogate you until your identity is confirmed. In addition, I have the responsibility to tell you that according to the truck driver's statement at the scene, you are suspected of smuggling.

This is our data list of ivory deliveries from trucks.

It weighs a total of 148kg and is worth 15 million baht.

I also hope that your identity can be proven and proven that you have been slandered, otherwise you can think about your crime!"

Liu Wei was stunned for a while after listening.

Fifteen million baht!

Equivalent to more than 3 million yuan.

If domestically, such a large amount of smuggling is enough to constitute a particularly serious crime of smuggling precious animals and precious animal products, it means that if the country uses extradition law to pursue his criminal responsibility, he may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment.

This pot is too big!

He couldn't carry it.

Under the influence of the courage coefficient, Liu Wei quickly adjusted his emotions. When his emotions stabilized, he smiled and said to the senior superintendent: "I believe in the Thai police's ability to handle cases, and I abide by Thai laws. I believe you don't want me to become a police officer." Smuggler!"

The senior superintendent smiled and said, "Just wait for the results!"

After saying that, he walked out.

Liu Wei was left alone in the interrogation room.

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head. He felt that this matter was particularly ridiculous, but on the other hand, if he thought about it, was it destined that his current status required him to bear the obligation to cooperate with the police in combating smuggling crimes?

An hour and a half later.

The senior superintendent walked into the interrogation room again with paper documents in his hand, and the police officer who followed him returned Liu Wei's ID card to Liu Wei.

The senior superintendent closed the door, sat down and said to Liu Wei: "Liu Wei, your identity has been confirmed in China. In addition, the truck driver admitted the crime of transporting smuggled materials. I'm sorry to disturb your work life." , I hope you can understand what we are doing!”

Liu Wei smiled and nodded, "Of course, I personally hate smugglers!"

The senior superintendent stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Wei, "You can go pick up your belongings and leave the police station now!"

"I have a question I want to know!" Liu Wei asked curiously, "Why did you take me back to the police station when you heard that I was Chinese when you arrested me?"

The senior superintendent explained: "First of all, taking you to the police station for questioning is a necessary process for handling the case. Secondly, this smuggling case involves a jewelry company in China. The Thai police and the Chinese police are cooperating to investigate this smuggling case!"

"Which jewelry company?" Liu Wei asked.

The senior superintendent smiled at Liu Wei and said, "I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you. I hope your scientific research in Thailand goes well!"

Liu Wei knew that it was impossible for non-investigators to know the specific circumstances of the case. He understood the senior superintendent, but he had bold ideas in his mind about this smuggling case.

"I think I can help you?" Liu Wei suddenly said.

The senior superintendent held the door with his right hand and was about to leave. After listening to Liu Wei's words, he turned back to Liu Wei and asked, "Did the truck driver tell you something?"

Liu Wei: "He didn't tell me anything about smuggling, but now that I have carefully reviewed what happened tonight, I can infer some things!"

The senior superintendent moved back to the interrogation room, closed the door, and asked Liu Wei, "Please tell me what you have speculated!"

"First of all, I need to confirm one thing!" Liu Wei said seriously, "This matter is related to the logic of my entire reasoning!"
