The train station patrol officers aren't so foolish as to rush at wealthy people for extortion.
It's likely due to a few Japanese words exchanged between Koizumi Katsuko and her bodyguard, and the Japanese version of "Encyclopedia of Myanmar Monuments" tucked under Miss Sakai's arm.
This made the patrol officer see them as naive Japanese cash cows, ripe for a good shake-down.
"Greedy,"
Gu Weijing estimated how much money this guy wanted.
The female bodyguard tried to discreetly slip him a 50-dollar bill, but it was righteously refused. The officer even brandished handcuffs, accusing the bodyguard of attempting to bribe a public official.
However.
Gu Weijing clearly saw this "fair and impartial" officer glance at the camera hanging over Koizumi Katsuko's chest.
The smug little expression clearly conveyed, "You can afford a $20,000 Leica and offer such a paltry amount? Do you take me for a fool?"
Extortion in Myanmar isn't news anymore.
