Gosh! Am such a stupid police! I should have allowed the clearance to catch the person, but it have a name and address, because nothing can be shipped from around the world without identification of shipper and receiver. But what you know boss inspector ask us to always pick up these drugs safely and deliver to them, and no court case so the drugs disappear, but I wonder where?
