July 3.
After a light rain, the heat in Chiang Mai had eased considerably.
Deep in a quiet, elegant courtyard.
Domino had received orders from headquarters and was reviewing intelligence on the Golden Triangle. In recent days, aside from brokering connections for the Qingye Group, she had been working to improve the intelligence network in Siam and the Golden Triangle.
With the deployment of large numbers of surveillance insects complete, very little information could escape the web of monitoring.
In the courtyard, she inserted an earbud-style storage device into her ear. It was one of the Security Department's latest applications of New Technology, designed mainly to reduce the use of paper documents and, in turn, the risk of leaks.
After all, the core of the earbud-style storage device was DNA. Without the help of a core member of the Homo sapiens Company, an outsider would have virtually no chance of deciphering its contents.
Once she had inserted the earbud, a virtual projection appeared before Domino's eyes. The projection was generated by stimulating the nerves, so no one else could see it.
One intelligence report after another appeared on the page.
[No. JSJ80693: Leech Gang. On April 15 this year, leader Nau Kham hijacked a Chinese transport ship in the middle reaches of the Mekong River and killed 13 crew members...]
[No. JSJ80706: Leech Gang. On April 16, member Maoxin held a secret meeting with Major Bopare of the Siamese military (note: the officer in charge of the border checkpoint that discovered the drugs hidden aboard the transport ship). The contents of their conversation are unknown...]
[...]
So that's how it is. They've got quite some nerve! Domino turned to another series of intelligence reports.
[No. XL70638: A suspected Chinese special envoy was spotted in Bangkok...]
They've already reached Chiang Mai?
