Tracking the mules across the border

First Person | Zhou Maijun

In July, my team and I were looking into possible routes used by drug mules, when we received a tip that a black sedan might be carrying drugs to Xichang from across the border with Yunnan province.

As we drove toward the toll gate, a black sedan without license plates flew by at a speed of about 170 km per hour. My instincts told me that this was "it", and we went after the car.
