Then they would come down and whip them until they were covered in blood.
They were not allowed to cry, and anyone who cried would be beaten even harder.
At first, they thought they were human traffickers who captured them just to sell them for money.
Later, they realized that it was not what they thought.
At least, not an ordinary human trafficker.
What kind of human trafficker would beat the people they captured like this? Aren't they afraid of hurting them and making them unsellable?
Another suspicious thing is that these people are only girls.
Moreover, only girls between the ages of eight and fourteen were arrested.
That's strange.
The local police have received several similar cases, but they still have no clue.
What they don't know is that the same case is not unique to them.
The same cases happen every day all over the world, but they are too far away and they don’t know about them.
After these people captured people, they would first lock them up in the cellar. When they had enough people, they would send them to the boat that had been waiting on the shore.
However, this shore is a beach where no one goes.
After these people are sent to the ship, the person who sent them over will receive a large sum of money.
As for where these girls are sent and what the people who buy them do, they don't ask, they just take the money.
In their opinion, this business is really easy to do.
Although Longguo does not allow business, they do it privately and no one will know.
Moreover, Dragon Country generally favors boys over girls, so even if a few missing girls were to disappear, no one would care. Even if someone who dotes on their daughters reported it to the police, they wouldn't be able to catch them.
Therefore, they are simply fearless.
The situation soon spread to other places, and the local police, seeing the large number of missing people, had no choice but to report it to their superiors.
In just two months, the news reached the ears of the bigwigs in the capital, and even the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders were alarmed.
After hearing the news, the two leaders frowned at the same time.
They looked at the list of missing persons from various provinces and cities, which totaled more than ten pages.
Each piece of paper contains a list of dozens or even a hundred people. Counting this way, there are more than a thousand missing girls.
So many people are missing, but the reason has not been found yet, which makes the No. 1 leader very dissatisfied.
Although the missing people were all girls, in the eyes of the No. 1 leader, there was no difference between girls and boys, they were all citizens of their Dragon Country.
How could he not be angry when so many people disappeared at once?
He looked up and asked the Minister of Public Security, "What's going on? Have you sent anyone to investigate?"
"Commander, we sent people down there a long time ago, but they didn't find anything. Since they went down there, there haven't been any girls going missing since then.
But after they came back, several more disappearances occurred.
So, I guess there must be someone who is specifically keeping an eye on the public security in various places.
"As soon as a strange face appears there, someone will quietly notify the traffickers. Once he's gone, the traffickers will strike again," the Public Security Minister replied.
After hearing his words, the two leaders sitting at the top also fell into deep thought.
Why did these people arrest these girls? They even sent people to the public security bureaus in various places to keep an eye on them, but the local police didn't notice them.
These people are hiding so deeply!
It's not easy to find these people, but we have to investigate. We can't just let these human traffickers run rampant.
It hasn't been long since then, and thousands of people have disappeared across the country.
Moreover, they are all girls.
No, we can't let these people continue to be so arrogant.
But they couldn't think of a solution at the moment. They could only ask the Minister of Public Security to give orders: Have the people below work harder and intensify the investigation.
But what they didn't expect was that the police took more than a month to investigate.
They only caught some small thugs on the periphery, and they had no idea who had kidnapped the girls.
They had no idea where these girls were being taken, and they didn't even know who was delivering the message to them.
While the police were interrogating these minions, the human traffickers on the other side started to target girls in another place.
Moreover, this time the number of missing people was even greater. The Minister of Public Security was so angry that he almost threw the teacup on the table.
Fortunately, the Minister of Public Security still had some common sense and knew that breaking things would cost money. What their Longguo lacked most now was money and supplies, and he couldn't waste them like this.
But no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't stop the human traffickers from continuing to capture those girls.
In the first half of 1970, life was tough for the upper echelons of the Dragon Kingdom. Over 3,000 girls disappeared throughout the country during that time.
Public security agencies across the country are cracking down on human traffickers, but with little success, as most traffickers still manage to escape police pursuit.
There is also some good news. Due to the vigorous efforts of the police, the traffickers have temporarily gone into hiding and the number of missing girls has decreased significantly.
This is good news amidst the bad news!
However, the leaders above did not give up on arresting these human traffickers just because the number of missing persons decreased.
They were still secretly searching for the human traffickers, but it seemed as if they had disappeared and they couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked.
It's as if these people have never appeared.
This has caused great distress to the public security departments in various places, but they have no way to deal with it.
Moreover, the police are short-handed and can't just arrest traffickers; they have other tasks to attend to.
In the end, we had no choice but to give up and hand the matter over to other departments.
Later, the matter was reported to the military, which sent people to continue searching for the human traffickers hiding in the dark.
However, by this time, more than half a year had already passed. It was already the end of September in 1970, and October 1st was just around the corner.
Although, the number one leader did not plan to hold a military parade.
But I still plan to go to the military camp in Kyoto to comfort the soldiers fighting on the front line.
In order to ensure the safety of all leaders, the Ministry of Public Security and the Military Department have joined forces to ensure that they will not encounter any danger during the trip.
At this time, the second-in-command suddenly remembered Lin Yizhen, who was still working as an instructor in the mountains.
Thinking of Lin Yizhen's age and the girl who had been missing for the past six months, the second-in-command wondered if he should let Comrade Lin Xiao take action.
Comrade Lin Xiao is very skilled in martial arts, even if he is really caught by human traffickers.
There is probably a way to escape, and letting her do it is the best option.
But the second-in-command was worried about Lin Yizhen's safety. After all, no one knew where the captured girls were sent. Why couldn't they find any information about them?
If Comrade Lin Xiao was like those girls, she would not have disappeared after being captured.
Or if something unexpected happened? That would be the biggest loss for their Dragon Country, and he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, the second-in-command suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
Although the Second Commander suppressed this thought, his mind was filled with the list of missing girls. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, but he could not think of any other solution.
