Before dawn, a large group of people were taken to the police station.
The police officer on duty was a little taken aback when he saw this; their county had been very safe lately, and there hadn't been any fights or brawls...
Why are so many people at the police station?
What happened?
He ran over and asked the police captain who had brought the group of people.
The captain said, "They might be involved in a human trafficking case. Call people over and separate these people for interrogation."
"Go to the hospital again and call a doctor to come and examine these two children."
"good."
The on-duty police officers immediately sprang into action.
Zhou Mingli and his four wives and his entire family were taken away separately, but the team leader took Zhou Mingli's honor certificate and called a brother unit in Beijing to verify it.
"Zhou Mingli?"
"He's been taken to the police station?"
"What mischief has he gotten himself into this time?"
Three questions from our brother units in Beijing.
Even the captain was confused by the question, "Huh?"
The police officer who answered the phone in Beijing was Chef Mo's son, Officer Mo. He scoffed and said, "You don't know!"
Police Officer Mo rattled off the story to the captain over the phone, concluding, "If he and his wife get into the police station, they'll be doing a meritorious service."
"By the way, his wife is a diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he himself just resigned from his government job to go into business in response to the country's call."
After hearing from Officer Mo that Zhou Mingli's wife was a diplomat, the captain completely trusted that Zhou Mingli was a good person.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, they kidnapped five people suspected of human trafficking and rescued two children."
Mo Gong'an remained silent.
This senior brother is really amazing.
He said, "Basic operation."
After the captain finished speaking with Officer Mo, he went to find Zhou Mingli, returned his certificate of honor to him, and said, "Do you know where those five people came from? Whose children are those two?"
"We met them on XX National Highway..." Zhou Mingli knew that the police must have already inquired about the situation with Beijing, so he didn't hide anything and recounted the events that had happened along the way.
He added, "We didn't talk to them much. We timed it, knocked them unconscious, and took the child. We didn't ask them about their origins or where the child was abducted from."
The captain nodded. "Then you can stay at the police station for a while until we have the results, then you can leave."
Zhou Mingli, Brother Yu, and others were released again.
Since they couldn't leave, they found a place to sit down and wait for the result.
Those five people were also very shrewd.
After getting out of the car and waking up, the old woman and the eldest and second eldest sons all heard the two women shouting. They tacitly pointed the finger at Zhou Mingli and his three companions, saying that they had stolen their car and were going to sell them into hard labor and prostitution.
If it were anyone else, the police might actually suspect that those four grown men stole the car.
Although the old women's group was large, it consisted mostly of the elderly, weak, women, and children, leaving only two men. Zhou Mingli, with his four able-bodied young men, could easily deal with them.
But the police only had suspicions.
This excuse was hastily devised by the woman and is full of flaws.
Even if they don't confess, the police have ways to find the children's families.
Because the doctor arrived quickly, examined the two children, and performed some procedures, the two children soon woke up.
One- or two-year-old children can only say simple words.
When they were shown the two women, they didn't recognize the strangers and just kept crying and screaming.
"You say he's your child, so why doesn't he come looking for you!" the police officer shouted sternly. "Let me tell you, national law stipulates that trafficking in children and women is punishable by up to twenty years in prison!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it now, we can still convict you without evidence. Your child trafficking is a done deal, and you'll be in jail for twenty years!"
The woman's face turned pale with fright.
She said, trembling, "I didn't do this voluntarily. This is the first time I've participated in something like this. I've never done anything like this before!"
Upon hearing this, the police officer instructed the female officer to take the child out and continue interrogating the woman.
After the trial, Zhou Mingli and the other three had a meal at the Public Security Bureau.
When the police captain came over in the afternoon, he smiled when he saw Zhou Mingli and the others, saying, "You four comrades are brave and resourceful! You really helped us solve a major case!"
The four men had delivered the human traffickers to their hands, a remarkable achievement that was obvious to all, and the police captain was naturally pleased.
Cheng Shaojun asked, "It seems the results are in."
The captain nodded. "They've confessed everything."
"That old woman's surname is Zhang. Both men are her sons. Don't be fooled by her kind face. According to her confession, she started doing this in the 1960s. Back then, everyone was poor and not many people bought children, so she stopped. Now that everyone has money, she's started doing this business again."
The captain's eyes were filled with disgust for Granny Zhang.
"Those two children were abducted in Tongxian County. They were also heading south, and it seems they have already found buyers."
Cheng Shaojun hesitated and asked, "What about these two children?"
The team leader smiled and said, "We have already called the Tongxian Public Security Bureau, and the two families there have also reported the incident to the police. They will come here to pick up their children tomorrow or the day after."
"Comrade Zhou, you have saved two... no, and possibly many more families in the future!"
The captain praised.
Xu San, a man who secretly runs a business, never expected to be praised by the police one day.
When the four men left the police station, his feet felt like they were floating on air.
He chuckled and said, "I've really made something of myself! I even got praised by the police!"
Brother Yu was also excited. Who wouldn't be happy to be praised for doing a good deed?
Zhou Mingli patted Xu San on the shoulder and said calmly, "Alright, let's fill up the car with gas and go to the guesthouse to pack up. We still need to keep going."
"Okay, okay!"
Xu San followed Zhou Mingli and said, "Second Brother, following you was the best decision I ever made."
Do you think we'll run into another kidnapper like this on the street?
Zhou Mingli was speechless.
Can't Xu San hope for something better?
What do you mean by "you'll encounter kidnappers again"?
The four men refueled the car, took a shower and slept at the guesthouse, and then continued their journey refreshed.
On their way south, they didn't encounter any kidnappers, but they did run into a few people who wanted to block their way. Four strong young men showed off the weapons they were carrying, and the other men chickened out and let them pass.
Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu took turns driving, and they arrived in Guang City without any major incidents.
The further south you go, the more prosperous the cities become compared to those in inland areas.
In the cities they passed through, there were still some people wearing patched clothes, but when they arrived in Hikari City, it was like stepping into another world.
