Post-2000 drug dealers use virtual currency for 'contactless' drug trafficking, finally caught in Shanghai

BlockBeats news, on June 30th, according to Knews, Shanghai police found such a photo in the phones of drug addicts during their arrest process. There is a red mark on the inconspicuous green belt photo. Following the road surveillance, the police found the figure of the drug dealer. A man in black was squatting in front of the green belt digging soil, then he buried something in the soil and took out his phone to take a photo. Subsequently, the police dug open the soil one by one following the trajectory of the drug dealer and found the marijuana he had buried. At the same time, the police also found other drug users as a result. These drug users contact drug dealers through overseas chat apps, pay with virtual currency as instructed, and receive photos of drug burial sites sent by drug dealers. The post-2000 drug dealer Li Qi was finally caught. He admitted that he found a way to "earn extra money" on the internet. After obtaining the drugs from his previous employer, he could make a profit of 50 yuan for every package he buried. In just a few days, he buried hundreds of packages of drugs. The police found him driving across 7 provinces, digging and burying drugs, taking location photos, and making buyers dig for drugs like "treasure hunting". Li Qi even ate and lived in the car, turning it into a "mobile drug trafficking truck". At present, the suspect Li Qi has been approved for arrest by the procuratorial organ according to law because of his suspicion of drug trafficking. The follow-up investigation of the case is still ongoing.
