Chapter 214: Arresting People
"Don't eat!" Lin Xiangnan taught him, "Eating everything will only harm you, don't you know?"
"I understand." The two children answered in a baby voice.
"Then tell me again what you know." Lin Xiangnan asked back.
"Eat some candy." Xiaobao showed his little teeth in a flattering manner and said eagerly, "Mom, I want to eat some candy."
Lin Xiangnan had no choice but to compromise and give the candy.
"You can eat candies given by your mother. But you can't eat candies given by strangers. Do you understand?"
"Uh-huh."
Although the children's expressions were serious, Lin Xiangnan always felt that they were just being perfunctory.
Hu Meili waited until she had finished educating the child before she nagging, "You are the same. It's not that your family doesn't have the conditions. The child just wants to eat candy, but you are still so strict. If you hadn't been so strict, would they not be able to resist the temptation of candy?"
"They are growing teeth, so of course they can't eat too much candy. Eating too much will damage their teeth." Lin Xiangnan warned: "Don't let me catch you secretly giving candy to the children. Otherwise, I will make trouble with you."
"I know." Hu Meili agreed, but she still grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, but I control my children's candy so strictly. Which child doesn't like candy?"
In fact, Dabao and Xiaobao both understood Lin Xiangnan’s teachings and knew that they should not go with strangers, but they couldn’t resist the temptation of candy in the end.
The family compound was very safe, and no outsiders could come in. The two children were never left alone, and Lin Xiangnan just practiced with the children in advance.
Not to mention Lin Xiangnan, when people heard that there were human traffickers nearby, every family started educating their children.
The staff on duty at the gate of the family compound has not allowed the half-grown children to go out to play in the past two days, for fear that something might happen.
Aunt Hua felt a little regretful that she did not take action earlier when she saw the suspicious elements, so early the next morning, she took Xiaotian to the police station for help and told them what she had seen.
There are still a lot of enthusiastic people now. When a child is abducted, people around them are helping to provide information.
There were few strangers coming and going in the brigade, and after a group of people talking at once, they quickly identified the suspect.
One was a pig herder and the other was a pot mender. They first found an excuse to go to the team to scout the area and determine the route, and then turned back to steal other people's children.
The adults in the team were not on guard. They would let the children out in the morning, and they would come back at lunch time. They basically didn't care where the children went to play. They never thought that there were still people kidnapping children.
When Lin Xiangnan came back from get off work, Aunt Hua also came back with Xiaotian.
"What's the situation? Has the lost child been found?" Lin Xiangnan asked.
"No. We went to several surrounding brigades and found nothing. The person may have already run away." Aunt Hua looked annoyed.
Even with police dogs, there was nothing they could do. Their traces were everywhere, and the police dogs couldn't confirm where they left from in the end.
"He was still herding pigs? The pigs are gone?" Lin Xiangnan asked.
"We didn't find any trace of the pig. It might have been killed and eaten." Aunt Hua looked helpless.
"That's impossible. This is their weapon. It's hard to find a breeding pig. If we kill it this time, what will we do next time?"
Without any reason, if a stranger goes to another team, he will definitely be the focus of attention and it will be inconvenient for him to do anything.
Aunt Hua glanced at Lin Xiangnan and explained, "You don't know because you've never been to the countryside. The breeding season for pigs is almost over, and it doesn't matter if the pigs are gone."
"I think they are very reluctant to part with it." Lin Xiangnan muttered, "Pigs are not cheap. Stealing two children and losing a pig, this business is quite unprofitable."
Anyway, everyone is like a headless fly now, and what Lin Xiangnan said is also an idea.
Aunt Hua said: "There are not many families raising breeding pigs. I remind the police to focus on investigating."
In an era without surveillance, there are many lawless outlaws.
Lin Xiangnan actually felt in his heart that the child might never be found.
But Aunt Hua was extremely efficient. Within a few days, she threw a stack of pig photos in front of Lin Xiangnan.
"All these pigs look the same to me. You have a good memory, can you see if there is one that looks familiar to you?"
"Auntie Hua, you know how to use people."
Lin Xiangnan was speechless, but still picked up the stack of pig photos and began to check them one by one.
As she looked at the photo in her hand, she called up the memories in her mind for comparison.
Aunt Hua stood beside Lin Xiangnan, holding a teacup, and explained, "Although I took the photo of the pig, those people don't seem to be suspicious."
"Of course not. Who would do something bad so openly? They must have done it secretly and have an alibi."
Lin Xiangnan looked at the photo carefully, and suddenly saw a pig's head that looked familiar.
"Auntie Hua, do you think you've seen this pig head somewhere before?"
Aunt Hua stretched out her head and looked. "I've never seen this. These pig heads all look the same to me."
"According to the number, this pig belongs to Group 5 of the Spring Breeze Brigade. Although it's a bit far, I still want to go and see it in person." Lin Xiangnan said, "This pig head does look familiar."
Aunt Hua regretted not taking action earlier and giving the traffickers a chance. Lin Xiangnan not only regretted it, she was also a little scared.
She is a mother with a child. Not only is the child small, but he is also extremely cute and loved by everyone.
The damn human traffickers would definitely want to steal it if they saw this.
Lin Xiangnan was more than happy to contribute to solving the case. No one likes human traffickers.
For this matter, Lin Xiangnan even took a leave and went to the Chunfeng Brigade with Aunt Hua and the police.
The pigpen smelled a bit, but Lin Xiangnan still held back. After looking at the pig's head, he poked the pig's butt.
"It's this pig." Lin Xiangnan said confidently, "There's something wrong with this pig."
After hearing this, not only did the pig's owner change his expression, but the police officer who was accompanying him also widened his eyes.
"What do you mean the same? Don't talk nonsense. My pigs are real pigs. They have nothing to do with human traffickers. Everyone in our team can vouch for my family."
Seeing the family cursing, the police wanted to step in to smooth things over. He went along on this trip because the bureau gave face to Aunt Hua, thinking there might be other clues, but who knew they were actually here to see the pigs.
But before the police officer could even open his mouth, Auntie Hua said with a fierce face, "This female comrade is a special talent of the General Administration, a genius in solving crimes who just returned from studying abroad. She said there is something wrong with you, and there must be something wrong with your family. You better tell the truth."
Why are you adding drama to yourself?
Lin Xiangnan glanced at Aunt Hua, and in order to maintain his new image, he said coldly: "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say next will become evidence in court."
