Zhang Dahua also went to inform them.
The couple were stunned when they heard that Sheng Jinjin had been arrested.
The two were initially complaining that Sheng Jinjin was heartless for not coming back to see them.
I never expected that I would be arrested.
Zhang Dahua was so shocked that she dropped her hoe. "How could this happen!"
Sheng Dahu was at a loss.
"Let's go take a look first."
They rushed to Shanghai.
Upon arriving at the police station and hearing the irrefutable evidence, both men collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Dahua didn't want Sheng Jinjin to be arrested, so she went to plead for her.
“We were also deceived in the first place; my daughter is innocent.”
The judge asked her, "Then is your daughter innocent for illegally buying and selling cultural relics?"
Zhang Dahua knew that the jewelry store was illegally obtained.
But all of this was the idea that Boss Hua gave them; they were innocent.
She insisted that everything was orchestrated by Boss Hua, and that they knew nothing about it and were all victims.
The judge naturally wouldn't listen to her one-sided account.
Sheng Jinjin's crimes do exist.
Although she was sold there, she was the one who actively suggested to the madam that she should trick people into coming, which makes the nature of her crime different.
Neither Sheng Jinjin nor Zhang Dahua admitted to this, insisting that they were forced into it.
Anyway, the madam has already run away, I don't believe they can catch her and come back to confront her.
Sheng Yueqing also came to listen in.
When he heard Sheng Jinjin's unwavering certainty that the madam wouldn't be caught, a smirk curled at the corner of his mouth as if he were watching a joke unfold.
Sheng Jinjin was surprised to find her listening in as well. She thought Sheng Yueqing had harmed her, and her fists clenched tightly.
Then the madam was brought up.
Sheng Jinjin's pupils widened in surprise.
To everyone's surprise, the madam who had long since disappeared was actually caught.
The madam also looked dejected.
He was hiding perfectly well, living a good life in some faraway place.
I never expected to get arrested.
I don't know how these people found him.
In court, when the judge asked him about the charges, he denied all of them.
As a result, with witnesses and physical evidence gathered, he couldn't deny it.
They even unearthed three headless female corpses in his old house, some of which had his fingerprints on them.
Now that the evidence of his crimes of trafficking and torture has been confirmed, he can no longer deny it.
As for Sheng Jinjin, with the mindset that since he was going to die, no one else should have an easy time, he admitted that it was Sheng Jinjin herself who came up with the idea of bringing the girl over, and that he only cooperated with her because he saw how ruthless she was.
"It was Sheng Jinjin who took the initiative to give me the idea of luring some prey over from the beginning, not me threatening her."
Sheng Jinjin's pupils trembled; he hadn't expected him to admit it, and his hands were shaking with fear.
I thought no one would be able to find out, but the madam actually admitted it.
She's doomed now.
Zhang Dahua and Sheng Dahu were both stunned.
She hurriedly tried to defend Sheng Jinjin, saying, "No. This was all forced on my daughter by the madam. She coerced and lured her. After all, we were all in his hands at the time, and my daughter dared not disobey."
The madam never expected to be wronged before her death, so naturally she refused to accept it.
"Bullshit. She clearly came to me on her own initiative, called those prey herself, and tricked them into coming over."
"It was also her idea to let the prey do the work first, to deceive them, in order to clear her of suspicion."
"I, Gui Laodao, have been trafficking people for over a decade, but I've never run such a meticulous scheme. I always just sell people directly. You can ask around if you don't believe me."
He disdained coaxing his prey; he preferred to resell them directly for quick profits.
He would have cooperated if Sheng Jinjin hadn't said she could clear his name in the future.
In addition, the investigation was indeed very strict during that period, otherwise Sheng Jinjin would not have been allowed to operate.
He also told the judge, "It was all Sheng Jinjin's idea. Even selling Wang Xiaocui to the village chief was her idea."
“She took all the money from selling Wang Xiaocui, but it has nothing to do with me.”
The judge asked the village chief.
The village chief admitted it.
"Yes, it was Sheng Jinjin who said she would help me find a woman who could give me a son, and I even gave her two hundred yuan."
The victim's family members present were furious.
"I never expected it to be her!"
You should know that Sheng Jinjin and they are from the same hometown.
Although they were from the next village, we had interacted before.
Unexpectedly, this vicious woman tricked their daughter into selling herself.
This has not only made it impossible for the girls to get married, but has also ruined their reputations.
The family members were so angry they wanted to beat Sheng Jinjin.
The judge tapped his gavel. "Silence."
The crowd then quieted down.
The judge asked Sheng Jinjin, "Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, do you have anything else to say?"
Sheng Jinjin opened her mouth, but dared not recognize it.
They insisted, "This was all fabricated by these bad guys; they just wanted to find a scapegoat."
"I am innocent."
She knew she couldn't admit it; once she did, it would be all over.
She even wanted to talk to the madam about it alone.
She can only be acquitted if the madam changes her testimony.
She will only have a chance to get out if the madam denies that it was not her idea.
But how do I talk to the madam right now?
Sheng Jinjin suddenly looked at Zhang Dahua, "Mom, save me! I'm innocent! I was forced!"
Zhang Dahua was also terrified and completely lost her composure.
But he understood the situation and quickly went to beg the madam, "Please spare our lives! We are all innocent. Please don't harm us. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please!"
The madam found their act amusing.
"What I said is the truth, and it won't make a difference if you beg me."
