Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Hong Guo smiled and said, "Actually, I also believe in the wind...

Since it is a special case, it must be related to Gu Changzong, and Hong Guo will help if she can.

She asked, "What case is it that even you can't handle?"

Yu Shan has been learning how to solve cases recently, and he has become more modest. He said, "I am just a little more talented than others, and I can't solve everything. Don't look down on me. This is a case of a human trafficker. The man has been caught, but he is very calm. After a day of interrogation, he still won't budge. I am anxious to find the children. I asked you to help, but Guan Cheng didn't believe it. Let's let him see what you can do."

Hong Guo said, "You know you need to be humble. You praised me too much. What if I can't help you?"

Yu Shan: "It's okay if I can't help. I was just trying anyway."

Hong Guo found him still silly and found it funny. She stopped talking nonsense and asked, "Do human traffickers carry valuables with them? For example, watches, jade jewelry, gold jewelry, etc."

Yu Shan hurriedly said, "That bastard sold children to make money. He has all these things. They have been seized as evidence. I will go and negotiate and I can give them to you."

Hong Guo waved her hands hurriedly: "You misunderstood, I don't want it, but I want to borrow it to do the ritual."

To help, Hongguo called Director Wei to be on the safe side. If Gu Changzong answered the phone, that would be good. However, it was Director Wei who answered the phone and said, "Hongguo, you miss your Changzong after only a few days of separation? Then come over. We welcome you."

Hong Guo smiled and said, "I know you are busy. This call is not for casual chatting. Yu Shan wants my help. Can I go and help?"

Director Wei told her to go without worry: "As long as it is related to special cases, you can participate."

With this, Hong Guo was able to let go and do it. When he went out, he saw that Yu Shan had also driven a car.

Even if it was a company bus, they would be happy to drive up Yushan Mountain, saying, "I came to see you for official business, and time is tight, so I drove here."

This car does not have a police license plate, so Hongguo felt no psychological pressure sitting in it.

She had a lot of doubts about the case and asked, "I know the human trafficking case is a serious one, but what does it have to do with the special case? How did it get categorized as such?"

Yu Shan didn't know, but he was calm and worry-free: "It's because we don't know that we have to investigate, and then we encountered a dead end in our investigation. Otherwise, why would I come back to ask you to come out of retirement."

…

When they arrived at the place, the Investigation Section was acting as low-key as the Logistics Department. Guan Cheng was already waiting at the door. The fact that Hong was really invited showed that she was very confident, otherwise, such a steady and low-key person like her would not have come.

Guan Cheng was really curious. What was so special about Jiang Hongguo that could convince such special people as Gu Changzong and Yu Shan?

Handling the case was urgent, so Guan Cheng introduced the current situation: "The traffickers knew we had no further clues, so they delayed the process and only revealed the kidnapping process of the child they found. As for the other children they didn't find, they refused to speak or reveal their accomplices. If we continue to investigate bit by bit, we will miss the golden time for rescue."

Hong Guo was just as anxious, so she hurried to work and asked, "Can I meet with the trafficker first and have a chat before I start working?"

Here in Guancheng, interrogating suspects is an important part of handling cases.

Jiang Hongguo's order was correct, but she was afraid that she would look like she was easy to bully and would be so angry at the traffickers' arrogance that she would quit.

Guan Cheng nodded: "Okay, Jiang Hongguo, human traffickers are no longer considered human beings. No matter what he says, don't get angry and don't be affected by it."

Hong Guo told him not to worry: "It's not certain who will be pissed off to death."

This is a proper interrogation room. The human trafficker is handcuffed and sitting on an interrogation chair. Hong Guo asks the accompanying personnel next to him to open his handcuffs. Then they move to another table and sit on opposite sides of the table, having an equal dialogue relationship.

The human traffickers couldn't figure out Jiang Hongguo's purpose. They just thought that a woman as weak and beautiful as her was only interested in mystery.

He was not afraid when several policemen took turns interrogating him before, so how could he be afraid of a delicate woman?

The trafficker had a look on his face that said, "What can you do to me?" and he wanted a cigarette. "Give me a cigarette, and I'll be more cooperative."

Hong Guo shook her head: "I'm not a policeman. I don't need you to cooperate with me. I just want to chat with you for a while."

The trafficker looked down on her with a smile: "You are one of those poor family members out there, right? But you can't hate me. Before I entered the industry, I only did this once and kidnapped only one child, and that child was rescued by you. I pleaded guilty with such a good attitude, will I be sentenced to three years or five years? I plead guilty. I hope the trial ends sooner and I am sentenced sooner. I will serve my sentence and get out sooner."

After saying this, he made a threatening gesture towards Hongguo, and then laughed triumphantly.

The police officer accompanying the interrogation was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger.

Hong Guo was not impatient or anxious, and was not provoked at all. She continued to speak softly: "You misunderstood. I am not a family member who lost a child. I am just an ordinary person who hates human traffickers and hopes that you will get what you deserve."

The trafficker was very arrogant: "Then it's useless for you to hate me. The rules of this world are that if there is demand, there will be trade. If I don't do it, others will do it, and they may be more vicious than me. If you want to hate someone, hate those buyers."

Hong Guo said, "They deserve to die, and you deserve to die even more. There must have been some horrific incident among you traffickers, right?"

"What's the matter?" The trafficker said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it now. Don't be so mysterious."

Hong Guo stared into his eyes, her voice gradually rising and becoming colder: "A few years ago, there was a couple whose child was very cute and was abducted by human traffickers. The traffickers were not human. They treated the child like an animal and suffocated the child to death. Although the traffickers were caught, the child could not be saved. The child's mother became ill and died. The man was cruel. After burying his wife and child, he found a witch to calculate the fate of the trafficker's family. Regardless of whether they were guilty or not, she killed the trafficker who killed his child and dozens of people from three generations. This incident caused a big stir back then. Don't say you haven't heard of it."

The trafficker's hands began to tremble, but he was still trying hard: "I've heard of it, but I don't believe it. It must be a rumor. There can't be a fortune teller in this world who can calculate someone else's address."

Hong Guo smiled: "Are you scared? Why would you be scared if you don't believe it? I happen to know the fortune teller who can tell the fortune. Guess what will happen to your family if I tell the fortune teller about the parents who lost their children?"

The trafficker panicked. Who doesn't have a family? He has one, and he's very happy. He cursed viciously, "You vicious woman, stop trying to scare me. I won't be fooled by you."

Hong Guo looked at him with disgust as if he were rotten meat: "People like you, how dare you say that others are vicious? No matter how vicious they are, they are not as vicious as you traffickers. You are not human at all. Whether you believe it or not, I just came to tell you this. Now that I have finished speaking, I should leave."

"Don't go. Explain your situation clearly to me." The human trafficker tried to rush over but was held down by the police officers on either side.

Hongguo didn't even look at him. She had already broken down the psychological defenses of the human traffickers. Soon, she would find some substantial clues, and Officer Guan and his men would surely be able to interrogate him smoothly.

…

Guan Cheng saw the door of the interrogation room open, and rushed forward in disbelief: "Jiang Hongguo, the witch story can't be true? Do you really know her?"

Hong Guo smiled and nodded: "I know him, it's true."

Guan Cheng felt mixed emotions. If it was before, he would definitely not believe it, but now that they were all in the Special Cases Division, he was half-believing and half-doubting: "Where is the witch? We will go with you to find her."

Hongguo pointed at herself and said, "I am the witch."

She could figure out the clues? This was unbelievable. Guan Cheng said with difficulty: "Jiang Hongguo, stop joking."

Hong Guo said, "Let's not keep questioning and explaining. Give me the jewelry worn by the traffickers, prepare a quiet room, and give me half an hour. I will give you a clue."

"what are you up to?"

Hong Guo teased him, but she couldn't tell the truth: "Of course it's divination. You can't peek and don't ask too many questions, otherwise it won't work."

Yu Shan was getting impatient and urged, "Just do as she says. Won't the results come out soon?"

Guan Cheng gritted his teeth, went to the evidence room to get the trafficker's watch, jade pendant, and gold ring, prepared a small office, and waited outside for the results.

Hong Guo could see the scene just by touching. There were five children who had passed through the hands of this human trafficker. One was rescued, and four were still needed. Paper and pen were prepared on the table. Hong Guo sorted out the situation he had touched in his mind and recorded carefully, one by one, the families of the four children, the time and place of abduction, the accomplices who handed them over, and the hiding places.

…

Guan Cheng deliberately found a small room with little soundproofing, thinking that there would be some mysterious ancient sayings about shamanism, but the room was very quiet. If you listened carefully, you could only hear the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

Guan Cheng could only ask Yu Shan in a very low voice: "Have you ever seen your cousin's divination process?"

Yu Shan comforted him: "I haven't seen it, and it won't be what you think. The result will definitely be beyond your expectations. You must praise her as much as possible and stop questioning her, otherwise she will be angry and you won't be able to invite her next time."

He emphasized: "People with ability always have a bad temper. Don't think Hongguo is easy to talk to, she is actually very stubborn."

Guan Cheng was silent, wondering in his heart what kind of clues Jiang Hongguo could give.

Just when he was distracted, Jiang Hongguo's expression calmed down and he wrote four paragraphs on a piece of paper, taking up most of the paper.

Hong Guo handed Guan Cheng the paper with the information written on it, and said with dismay, "This human trafficker also has a family. He can be a loving father to his own children, but he treats other people's children like animals. You tell me the information about his family and scare him to death once, then I can get rid of my hatred."

Guan Cheng took a deep breath: "Jiang Hongguo, how did you do it?"

Hong Guo said calmly: "Now is not the time to ask me questions, and I have a principle when it comes to doing things. You can ask me for help, but you can't ask me how I did it. If you keep asking, I won't help you next time."

Yu Shan quickly chimed in: "He was so surprised that he couldn't help asking."

Guan Cheng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was so surprised. Thank you Jiang Hongguo, I won't ask nonsense questions again in the future."

Hong Guo felt that she was too harsh just now and shouldn't have treated good people like that, so she smiled at them and said, "It's okay, I've been busy for so long and I'm so tired, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll leave first, I still have to pick up Dian Dian."

Guan Cheng resisted the urge to look at Jiang Hongguo's back as she walked slowly to the bus stop, and asked Yu Shan, "Have you always known that your cousin is so amazing?"

Yu Shan said proudly: "Of course, otherwise we wouldn't all obey her."

Yu Shan asked again: "Who is more powerful, your cousin or your brother-in-law?"

Yu Shan said something fair: "In my eyes, Gu Changzong is more capable, but what's the use of being capable? Gu Changzong only listens to Hong Guo, so if there is something wrong, it is more effective to ask Hong Guo for help than to ask Gu Changzong for help."

Guan Cheng did not think about it any more. With the clues provided by Jiang Hongguo, the trafficker's mentality collapsed quickly and he begged bitterly: "I will tell you everything. Please go find that witch and don't tell the family of the kidnapped child about my family. My family is also human beings. You have the obligation to protect them."

Everyone was gnashing their teeth. Now they were afraid? How could he have the heart to kill other people's children?

No one wants to answer the traffickers' questions. No matter how regretful or frightened he is, what does it have to do with them? This is the retribution he deserves.

…

As soon as Gu Changzong left, Lao Zheng worked twice as long at the mine. Hongguo went to pick up Diandian from school. The little guy was worried today, and he tried to pretend to be happy, but Hongguo saw through it.

Hong Guo picked him up and asked, "Dian Dian, what's wrong? Is there anything unhappy in this kindergarten? Be sure to tell your mother."

Pointing at his finger, since his mother knew, he would not pretend to be happy anymore. He sighed like a little adult: "No, Mom, I am happy in kindergarten, but I want to go to our mine and find out something to see who is right and who is wrong between me and Huaihua?"

How come the conflict between the two kids is related to things at the mine?

Hongguo agreed first: "Sure, then you should talk to mom first, what is the issue you are arguing with Huaihua?"

The little one pointed at the bus that had arrived and said, "Mom, let's talk on the bus."

It's not too crowded here, and there are seats in the back row. Hongguo brought the little one and found a seat in the back row. He was a small child, so it was not easy for him to take up a seat alone, so Hongguo held the little one on her lap. The little one was very happy and loved to be with his mother the most. His mother knew what to do and would definitely know who was right and who was wrong between him and Huaihua.

The little one talked about what happened in kindergarten today.

"Today Huaihua told me that her father works in our mine. I saw patches on her clothes and they were very old, so I said that my mother had just paid wages and dividends to the workers in the mine, so why was she still wearing torn clothes? Did her family not like her and not give her new clothes? She said no, saying that her father only got a little money every month, not much, just enough for the family to eat. I said no, saying that my mother paid the workers more than other families. The children all helped Huaihua and said that I was lying. Mom, didn’t we pay a lot of wages to the absent workers? Why did Huaihua say that her father didn’t get that much money? Did someone deduct the wages? Mom, you have to check it carefully. If so, we will give Huaihua’s family compensation so that her family can buy her a new dress, okay?"

Hong Guo touched his innocent little face and kissed him: "Okay, luckily you found out. Mom will definitely check it out. If there is any shortage, I will give it to them. But don't mention it again for now, I'm afraid the bad guys will find out and it will be difficult to investigate."

The little one nodded vigorously: "Mom, I won't tell you. I'll wait for you. Once I find out the truth, I can tell Huaihua and everyone else that I didn't lie to them. My parents keep their words and won't lie to anyone."

Hong Guo assured him firmly: "Okay, Mom will investigate it as soon as possible. Just be patient for a few more days."

…

Jiang Hongguo coaxed the little one and felt relieved. The salary and dividends were definitely paid out according to the amount. However, Huaihua, a little girl in Diandian's class, must have heard some words said by the adults at home. She was so young that she couldn't tell a clear and logical lie. This matter needed to be investigated.

On the other hand, after returning home, Huaihua told the adults at home about the quarrel between him and Xiaobutian, stubbornly believing that he was not wrong.

"Mom and Dad, the children of the coal bosses are just like their parents, they bully others like this."

Jiang Hongguo's family worked in six-hour shifts at the mine. Huaihua's father happened to be at home. Hearing this, he was furious: "You are just a little kid, what are you talking about outside?"

If you meet such a conscientious boss, not getting paid will be a family matter. If the boss finds out, you may even lose your job. How will your family live then?

Huaihua's mother was angry and scared. She took the clothes hanger and hit the child hard: "Who told you to be so nosy? You always eavesdrop on adults' conversations. I will beat you to death."

Huaihua wiped her eyes and cried: "Jiang Shiyi insisted that he said that mom had given dad enough money. Dad, why are you reluctant to eat meat and want to bring the meat from the mine cafeteria home? What will you eat then? I don't want new clothes, I want dad to eat more meat."

The couple burst into tears and rubbed the child, saying, "It hurts, it's all mom and dad's fault. Don't ask questions, you'll have meat to eat in the future, but you can't talk nonsense anymore."

After coaxing the child, Huaihua's parents went to the home of another private coal boss and told him what the child had said. They repeatedly assured him, "Boss Zhang, we will take good care of the child. If anyone asks, we won't say anything."

Zhang Yaoqin picked at the dead skin between her nails and said with a fake smile: "This is easy to handle. If you are not satisfied, just pay us back and we'll forget about it."

Seeing her attitude, Huaihua's father was frightened. His hands were shaking as he held onto the table. He begged, "Boss Zhang, please give me some more time. My eldest brother said he would send the money back. When the money arrives, we will definitely pay back the money we owe."

Zhang Yaoqin's son threw the cup in his hand and angrily scolded him: "What a thing! You begged us and mortgaged your job to borrow money. Now you want to rely on your boss's power to default on the debt? Tell us and see who I am afraid of."

Huaihua's mother was so frightened by the loud noise that she almost fell to her knees: "Don't worry, the child will never say anything nonsense again, or I will beat her to death to give you an explanation."

Zhang Yaoqin waved her hands and said, "We have a written agreement, and we are reasonable people. We asked you to pay it back monthly. If you continue to cheat, it will be unfair. I will give you another option. How about selling this job?"

She absolutely couldn't sell her job. If she did, how would her family eat? Zhang Yaoqin became impatient after begging again and again.

His son chased the man away and tried to extort more money. He pointed at the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground and said, "This cup is an antique. I'll charge you two hundred dollars. I'll put it on your account."

The couple dared not say anything but were angry. They supported each other and walked away. They had to pay off the additional 200 yuan with interest. They didn't know when they would be able to pay it back.

As soon as the person left, Zhang Yaoqin's cold-blooded aura weakened a little, and her attitude softened a little.

"Although Gu Changzong and Jiang Hongguo are new here, their family is indeed not easy to mess with. Xiao Xiao was so arrogant before, saying that there was no news and then there was no news. We couldn't find out anything even Siping didn't know the inside story. You'd better not do the loan business."

Her son didn't care: "Mom, we are from here, why should we be afraid of those outsiders? That Sister Xiao is just a fake tiger. We let her be the boss and put her in front to take the blame. Besides, Gu Changzong is not at home now. Even if he is, we have an IOU. He has to pay back the debt wherever he goes, unless Jiang Hongguo helps to pay it back. If she wants to pay it back, that's even better. I will get more. See how many she can help?"

Thinking about it, there really aren't many loopholes. Zhang Yaoqin said, "Secretary Zhuang is different from the previous ones. You just need to be a little careful. As long as no one dies, we won't be afraid."

"I know, mom. Those bitches value their lives very much. As long as they have food to eat, they won't die. I know that."

…

Old Zheng had eaten at the mine and brought the little one back. He had almost raised the little one. He could tell that the little one was unhappy and asked Hong Guo, "What's wrong with the little guy?"

Old Zheng didn't ask, but Hong Guo wanted to say: "It's about the mine. There's a little girl named Huaihua in the little class. Her father works in our mine."

"Which mine?" asked Lao Zheng.

“The one that was acquired.”

There were many problems left over from Sister Xiao's original mine after she bought it, which were all solved bit by bit, but it was not as organized as her own new mine, and she really couldn't see any corners.

Hongguo said, "Dian Dian saw Huaihua was wearing patched clothes, so she asked her father why he didn't make her a dress when he had so much money. Huaihua said her father only took a little money, just enough for the family to eat, no money to make clothes, and said that her father also took a part-time job. The children then said that Dian Dian was lying. You know Dian Dian, you must prove to us that you didn't lie. I think there must be something wrong."

The money was paid in full, and it was paid to the absentees, without any false claims. This is interesting.

Old Zheng couldn't bear to see the little guy being wronged, so he sneered: "We have to investigate it thoroughly. You should send Diandian tomorrow morning, and I will go and check to see who is behind this."

Hongguo asked Lao Zheng to investigate quietly and not to alert the enemy. Lao Zheng was a steady man and thought exactly so.

In the morning, Hongguo sent Diandian to kindergarten. Huaihua was standing at the door. When she saw the little kid, fear appeared in her eyes. She turned around and ran into the garden without even saying hello.

The little one was sharp-eyed. Seeing the bruises on Huaihua's arm, he felt very sad. He looked up at Hongguo and said, "Mom, Huaihua was beaten because of me? I won't fight with others anymore."

Hong Guo hurriedly comforted him, "No, it's all thanks to you for finding out about the money issue. Although they are a little wronged now, once mom investigates the matter thoroughly, their family will be grateful to you. You have to remember to forget about what happened yesterday and don't mention it. This way Huaihua won't be beaten again."

The little one nodded sensibly: "Mom, you are amazing. I will wait for your good news."

Hong Guo watched him enter the garden, smiled and waved, and turned around, the smile on her face faded. What happened to scare the Huaihua family so much? This time, she had to find out.

While thinking about something, Hongguo almost bumped into someone again. When she looked at the person clearly, it was Xu Zhixiao's mother whom she met on the bus. Didn't she say that she would not come to the mine to attend kindergarten?

Hong Guo asked, "Mother Zhixiao, you guys are not really transferring to this school, are you?"

Zhixiao's mother blushed: "Diandian's mother, we transferred here."

Xu Zhixiao was ill and something happened at home. Although he couldn't figure it out, he could feel that his grandparents and relatives on both sides of his maternal grandparents were not nice to his family.

He hid behind his mother, feeling uneasy: "Auntie, don't you welcome me to go to school here?"

What do children know? Besides, Hong Guo didn't think so. She quickly comforted him, "No, it's not true. Auntie is just too surprised. Diandian just went in. You can go in and play with him."

The child was so easy to coax. Xu Zhixiao waved happily: "Goodbye, Auntie. Goodbye, Mom."

Jiang Hongguo gave the child a warm and reassuring feeling. Zhixiao's mother was grateful and explained, "Diandian's mother, don't get me wrong. We really didn't transfer here just to follow you."

Hong Guo smiled and said, "I know. I'm not that conceited. Anyone can go to this kindergarten. I'm just curious. After all the choices, why did you choose this one? It's not that close to your home."

Xu Zhixiao's mother was embarrassed and said with a smile, "Please don't laugh at me for telling you this. I believe in fate. After Zhixiao recovered from his illness, I met a fortune teller who predicted my family's affairs exactly, even the bad luck that had happened before. He said it was because of my personality and asked me to change it. This is the same as my husband's analysis, so it makes sense, right? He also said that my son has many illnesses and disasters, and the location of this kindergarten is very suitable. As long as he transfers here, he will be able to turn bad luck into good luck. I thought he could go to school anywhere, so I transferred here. Please don't laugh at me."

A fortune teller? Why did Hongguo feel that someone was deliberately deceiving Xu Zhixiao's mother?

On the bus where Crow was saving people, Hongguo was not the one to be saved. She thought it was the kid Xu Zhixiao. Anyway, transferring to this school would not affect Diandian in any way.

Hong Guo smiled and said, "Actually, I believe in Feng Shui, as do everyone else. I still have to go to the mine to do some work, so we'll talk when we have time."

Xu Zhixiao's mother looked at Jiang Hongguo's back for a while. Her attitude was really different from when she made a scene in the kindergarten. She was so nice when she was in a good mood, but really scary when she was fierce. In short, it would be fine if you didn't provoke her.

After delivering Diandian, Hongguo took a bus to the mine. It was already morning. Lao Zheng was still outside investigating and had not returned yet. Hongguo waited for a while and planned to eat in the cafeteria at the mine.

When it was lunchtime, Lao Zheng came back and Hong Guo asked him, "Did you find out everything?"

Lao Zheng nodded: "Understood, let's go to the small office over there and talk."
