The Tragedy of Art vs. Child Trafficking (10)

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Shen Xingyan suddenly stood up and they both looked at her in a daze. Shen Xingyan yawned and took the file from Gu Fang. Xiao Dongliang just smiled as if he had won, but Shen Xingyan said, "Let's take a look after we finish the mission tomorrow. I'm sleepy and my brain is not working."

Gu Fang raised the corners of his lips and smiled silently. Xiao Dongliang's face suddenly turned ugly. "Forensic Doctor Shen..."

Shen Xingyan waved his hand, took the file and went back to his room to sleep.

Gu Fang crossed his arms and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want to stay here or go back?"

Xiao Dongliang gritted his teeth, "I want to live here!"

"Find a place for yourself." Gu Fang returned to another bedroom and Xiao Dongliang followed him in. Gu Fang turned around to look at him. Xiao Dongliang walked past him and deliberately bumped into him. He took off his shoes and got on the kang. He took Gu Fang's pillow, lay down, wrapped himself in his leather jacket, and closed his eyes.

Gu Fang was stunned. This man was too familiar.

He also got on the kang, rolled up his clothes, put the pillow under his head, reached out to turn off the light, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, with only the sound of two people's breathing.

Xiao Dongliang: "I won't lose."

Gu Fang sneered and turned his back to him.

Xiao Dongliang: "Don't think that you can rest easy just because you have Forensic Doctor Shen to help you. Child trafficking cases are not as simple as they seem. Otherwise, why haven't we solved the case for so long?"

Gu Fang opened his eyes and looked into the dark void.

Xiao Dongliang: "In fact, you shouldn't let Forensic Doctor Shen take risks. She is facing a cruel criminal."

"I will protect her."

Xiao Dongliang said nothing more and closed his eyes. Gu Fang, however, couldn't fall asleep. He kept rehearsing the dangers he would encounter in his mind and made one plan after another until he fell asleep in a daze.

Early in the morning, Xiao Dongliang shouted in the yard, "You are a sensible boy. I tell you, for the sake of my sister, I will not bother with you. If you do something wrong to my sister in the future, I will make your life miserable! You take care of yourself!"

Then the sound of a motorcycle engine was heard, humming away.

The corners of Gu Fang's mouth twitched. If you want to go, just go. You insisted on scolding me. You deserve to fail to solve the case.

Jiang Shengyu and Yang Dawei, who lived not far away, had been watching the show from last night till early morning. This brother-in-law came and left inexplicably.

Since they had to carry out the mission, everyone got up and made preparations, and Shen Xingyan went up to Lingshan. This time she didn't dare to be careless and let Gu Fang arrange it. She brought with her electric baton, retractable baton, locator, etc. The electric batons and police batons have been disguised and look like women's daily necessities at first glance.

Xu Lai Fu was still beating the wooden fish with his eyes closed. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes. He looked Shen Xingyan up and down. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, black trousers, a loose printed shirt, and two ponytails, but her shoes had changed from sandals to cloth shoes.

Shen Xingyan: "Abbot, I'm here."

Xu Laifu stood up and said, "Follow me."

Only then did Shen Xingyan realize that Xu Lai Fu walked with a limp. She remembered that the information did not say that he was a cripple, and besides, a cripple could not be a auxiliary police officer.

Xu Lai Fu turned the yellow enamel vase on the Duobao Pavilion, and a wall opened silently, revealing a passage.

Shen Xingyan opened his mouth slightly, not expecting that there was a secret passage.

Xu Laifu picked up the searchlight and said, "Let's go. Put down your bag."

Shen Xingyan hugged the bag tightly, "This is my fortune. If you lose it, my man will blame me."

Xu Laifu came over and grabbed the bag, his eyes cold, "I said throw it away!" He pulled it off her roughly, threw it on the ground, and frowned, "Your wealth is quite significant."

Shen Xingyan took a half step back and looked at the bag on the ground.

Xu Laifu sneered, "Can't bear to part with it? Then don't follow me to make money."

"No! I want to make money!" Shen Xingyan looked ready to die. "Why do I need to go there for training?"

"Our training content cannot be leaked. ... Why do you have so many things to do? Do you want to go or not?!" Xu Lai Fu was a little impatient.

"Go!" Shen Xingyan gritted her teeth. Part of her reaction was pretended, and part of it was because she really was unsure. She didn't know what was going on in the secret passage. The electric batons and police batons were also thrown away. If anything happened, she would really be in tears.

Xu Laifu raised the corners of his lips, as if smiling, "Then let's go."

Shen Xingyan took a deep breath and walked over.

The secret passage is large enough for two people to pass side by side. There is a light every two meters. The light is a bit dim and you can barely see the road clearly. Xu Lai Fu led the way with a searchlight, and Shen Xingyan tried his best to remember the route.

The view in front of me suddenly became open and bright. Xu Lai Fu turned off the searchlight, and a beam of sunlight shone in from above his head. It turned out to be a naturally formed chasm.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, Shen Xingyan saw that there were two cells in the room, one for a young woman and the other for a child. The women were about her age, most of them had pretty faces. The children ranged in age from two to six years old. One of the children was lying on the ground, not looking well.

The women looked dazed, and some had their clothes torn and hanging on their bodies. The children opened their big innocent eyes and looked at Shen Xingyan curiously.

Shen Xingyan laughed dryly, "Abbot, what is this?"

"What Mrs. Qian showed you is only part of our industry. Those people are willing to fight and be beaten, and we are just the middleman. But some people are eager for children and women, but they are old and still haven't got them. We have to help them."

"How can I help?"

"Help them find children and women." Xu Laifu laughed nervously, and looked at Shen Xingyan with eyes like snake tongues. "People like you will be sold for a good price."

Shen Xingyan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Abbot, you're not really going to sell me out, are you? If you keep me, I can make more money for you. If I sell you, I'll only take one sum, but I can make a lot for you."

Xu Laifu laughed, "You are quite sensible, but before you make money, what else do you have to do?"

"do what?"

Xu Laifu licked his lips and said, "I think you know what a man wants most when he sees a woman."

Shen Xingyan was horrified and immediately took a few steps back, "No! I'm married, I can't let my man down."

"It's okay, he doesn't know." Xu Lai Fu approached step by step. The women in the cell looked at this scene indifferently, while the children looked around curiously.

“There are children here!”

"It's okay. They will have to go through this sooner or later." Xu Laifu tried to grab her, but Shen Xingyan grabbed his wrist with her backhand. "Abbot, there are too many people here. Let's go to a place where there are no people."

Xu Lai Fu was surprised by her sudden change in attitude, thinking that she had thought it through. "That's good, so they don't get in the way." Xu Lai Fu walked towards one of the lamps hanging on the wall, turned it, and a stone door opened.

Shen Xingyan's eyes were deep. If he hadn't been asked to move to another place, he wouldn't have known that there was a secret room.

Xu Laifu: "Come in."

Shen Xingyan followed behind her, and suddenly a woman in the cell said, "Don't go in!"

When Shen Xingyan heard the voice, she looked over and saw a girl about her age holding the cell door and looking at her worriedly.

Xu Laifu's face instantly flashed with murderous intent, "You are tired of living!"

The woman shuddered and shook her head at Shen Xingyan.

Shen Xingyan was grateful for her help and went in without hesitation.

Two lines of tears slid down the woman's face, and she didn't know whether she was crying for herself or Shen Xingyan.

Xu Lai Fu showed a victorious smile, put his hands behind his back, and limped in. The stone door closed silently behind him.

Inside the secret room, there was a bed with iron chains hanging from the four corners, and dried blood stains on the sheets. Various torture instruments were hung on the wall, there were bloodstains on the whips, and the iron hooks emitted a cold light.

Xu Laifu picked up the whip and swung it. The sound of it breaking through the air hurt his eardrums. "These things are specially used to deal with those who don't obey."

"Aunt Qian was also beaten?"

"She didn't, she was dying to join us."

"I am willing to join in, please don't hit me, I am afraid of the pain."

Xu Laifu smiled and put down the whip. "When I first saw you, I felt that you were different. Maybe you can inherit my legacy in the future."

"You are still young, Abbot."

"In our line of work, we never know when we'll be arrested."

"Mrs. Qian has never betrayed the abbot. The police can't find you."

"Haha, that's because they are too stupid! They can't even interrogate. If it were me, no one would be able to stand it and would have to confess."

"The abbot is amazing."

Xu Laifu was flattered by the compliment, "Of course, I was a policeman back then."

"Ah!" Shen Xingyan pretended to be surprised, "Then why did you do this?"

"It's all because of those idiots! They blamed me for losing the old man! The system stipulates that a case cannot be filed within 24 hours. I have helped them find the man, but it was Old Han who didn't report it to them, and in the end they blamed me!"

"You were the scapegoat?"

"They have always looked down on me, thinking that I, a auxiliary police officer, am superior to them. They are too stupid and cannot even solve a case. They are jealous of me!" Xu Lai Fu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even picked up a whip and hit the bed board fiercely.

"They all deserve to die." Shen Xingyan followed his words, fearing that he would get too excited and whip himself.

"Yes, they all deserve to die! Old Han and that family all deserve to die!"

"You killed them?"

"Kill? There are things more terrifying than death. Old Han had a beautiful daughter. I sold her to the mountains and found a poor family to marry her to the father and his two sons. Haha..."

Shen Xingyan felt cold all over, what a beast!

"And that family, they broke my legs, I made them live in unrest for the rest of their lives. I kidnapped their son and sold him to the mountains, where they live the most miserable life in the world. They will never find him again!"

Xu Lai Fu's vicious words coupled with his ferocious expression made him look like a ghost from hell.

"I once wanted to be a police officer who upholds justice, but they extinguished my dream with their cruelty."

"So you chose revenge?"

"Yes, I want to take revenge on them and on this society!"

"What about the innocent people?"

"They can only blame themselves for their bad luck!"

"If they also want to retaliate, will this society still be peaceful?"

"I didn't expect you to be so responsible." Xu Laifu laughed, "You are still young. When you experience the cruelty of the world, you will know that this world is not worth it!"

Shen Xingyan lowered her eyes. She didn’t want to act anymore.

Xu Laifu approached her and said, "That's enough. Let's get started."

"Start what?" Shen Xingyan raised his head with a cold look in his eyes.

Xu Laifu was stunned for a moment, "You..."

Shen Xingyan suddenly attacked as fast as lightning, and punched him in the face with his right fist.

After all, Xu Lai Fu had been a auxiliary police officer, so he had some experience. He tilted his head back and avoided the attack.

Shen Xingyan expected that this attack would not succeed, so at the same time, he raised his left foot and kicked him in the hip.

Xu Lai Fu felt pain and took a few steps back, opening his mouth in horror, as if he had not expected that such a young girl was actually a martial artist.

Without giving him a chance to catch his breath, Shen Xingyan took a few steps forward, swung a left hook, hitting him on the chin, then raised his right foot and kicked him in the crotch.

Xu Lai Fu felt his vision go dark, he staggered a few steps and leaned against the wall.

Shen Xingyan's face changed slightly. Xu Lai Fu endured the pain, picked up the whip that had just been hung on the wall, and swung it over.

Shen Xingyan hurriedly rolled on the ground, away from him, and at the same time lifted his legs and pulled out a stick from his calves. He swung it hard, and the stick immediately became longer, a full meter long.

Xu Laifu spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, "So you came prepared."

Shen Xingyan pretended to be innocent and smiled, "I told you, my man will be angry."

"Bastard!" Xu Lai Fu swung the whip again, and Shen Xingyan dodged nimbly.

Xu Lai Fu didn't expect that he failed to hit her after two consecutive whips. He was so angry that he whipped her again and again. Shen Xingyan was like a monkey, jumping up and down in the room, without any injury on his body.

Xu Lai Fu was so tired that he was panting. While he was catching his breath, Shen Xingyan came up to him like lightning in the blink of an eye, swung his stick, and hit him on the right shoulder.

Xu Lai Fu felt pain and subconsciously loosened his grip on the whip. He was startled and bent down to pick it up. Shen Xingyan stepped on his hand, and Xu Lai Fu immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Shen Xingyan inserted the stick under his raised neck, turned around and pressed it on his back. Xu Lai Fu could not hold on and fell to the ground.

Shen Xingyan bent one leg and pressed it on his back, and arched the other leg. He released his left hand and struck his temple like lightning.

Xu Lai Fu only felt a darkness before his eyes, and he knew nothing.

Shen Xingyan patted his face in disgust, and seeing that he was really unconscious, he picked up the whip and tied him up with his backhand. She sat on the ground, gasping for a while, then stood up and opened the stone door.

The women in the cell widened their eyes when they saw her coming out alone, and the woman who had advised her before actually showed a happy expression when she saw that she was fine.

Shen Xingyan nodded at her and prepared to call someone. Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard. Shen Xingyan paused. The next second, Gu Fang ran in, rushed to her, pinched her shoulders, and looked her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Shen Xingyan shook his head.

Gu breathed a sigh of relief, "You haven't come out for such a long time, I've been tired of waiting." He saw the sweat on her head and raised his hand to wipe it away.

When the warm fingertips touched her skin, Shen Xingyan's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously took a few steps back and pointed behind her, "It's not good in there." Gu Fang saw it and his face immediately darkened, "Dawei, contact the bureau."
