The man, who is an Afghan passport holder, flew in from Kazakhstan. Customs officials saw what appeared to be tablets in his stomach after going through a routine X-ray scan at the airport. Officials' suspicions intensified after seeing that the man only had a few personal belongings and US$500 in cash, which will not last long for a regular tourist in China. 

They had to wait for more than 30 hours before the plastic-coated cocaine pills passed through his system. Police also arrested another Afghan citizen who was supposed to pick up the drugs four days after the apprehension at the airport. 

Xinjians is slowly being known as a gateway for illegal drugs to enter the country from Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan.
