Chapter 289 Method
All the sounds?
Officer Yu was stunned.
He realized something was wrong and used the intercom to get the police car to leave the mine. Then he said, "The recording only contains Quan Feihong and his wife, as well as me and his son Quan Kang. Did you hear Quan Kang's voice?"
The five suspects nodded quickly.
They didn't dare to hide anything. One of them explained: "The recording was a little distorted, so we weren't sure at first, but after the child's voice came out, we were sure."
Si Ran in the car also realized it and quickly said, "Don't worry, talk slowly."
"Every time we trade, there are always three people present: a man, a child, and a woman. But the woman's voice in the recording isn't the same one we've heard before, so we're not sure. But the child's voice is special, especially the tone of "Dad." We can't be mistaken!"
Officer Yu realized this and quickly called the police station. He said, "Go check right away to see if Quan Feihong has any mistresses or children. If so, we'll need all their information."
During the search, Si Ran also explained the situation of Zhao Cai Lai Cai.
"I asked Zhaocai Laicai, and they haven't smelled any children nearby." After a pause, Si Ran changed the subject and said, "But there is indeed a problem with this mine. The dog that barked at us at the time told me that every once in a while, a group of people would be brought in by trucks. They looked stupid."
Officer Yu's eyes widened: "You mean..."
"I suspect Quan Feihong is involved in trafficking adults with intellectual disabilities."
The child was not found, but there was an unexpected gain.
If Quan Feihong really trafficked adults with intellectual problems, then everything would make sense.
Quan Feihong used intelligent adults to carry out mining operations. Mining is an extremely dangerous job. Once an accident occurs in the mine, the mine owner may lose everything.
The only thing that Si Ran couldn't understand was that if the missing child was also related to Quan Feihong, what was his purpose.
A boy can now be sold for hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, but for a mining boss like Quan Feihong, trafficking children and supporting a trafficking team is an extremely risky, unprofitable and thankless task.
Quan Feihong is a smart man, he doesn't need to do this.
If he wanted to do this, there must be some reason why he couldn't let outsiders know.
"Let me ask you, after these children were abducted, where did Quan Feihong sell them to?"
"I, we don't know,"
The five suspects all shook their heads. Seeing Si Ran's disbelief, they finally understood what it meant to be unable to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
"I, we really don't know, comrade police officer. Now that we're at this point, is there any need to lie to you? We just want to quickly reveal useful clues, so we can maybe save two years in prison."
Officer Yu sneered, "You're scared now. Why didn't you think you'd be caught one day when you were trying to snatch the child?"
The five suspects fell silent.
Officer Yu said, "Speak up! Miss Si just asked you a question, and you haven't answered it yet!"
The five suspects stared at each other.
After three seconds, the suspect sitting at the edge spoke weakly, "We really didn't lie. After we handed over the children we kidnapped or robbed to him, Boss Quan would pay us a large sum of money, about 100,000 yuan per child. But as for where he sold them, we don't know."
"But there is one thing..."
The suspect paused and said uncertainly, "I don't know if it has anything to do with the case."
"If you think there's a problem, just tell me."
"I, I'll tell you," the suspect said quickly. "When we were trafficking children, all the bosses specifically wanted boys. This was because most buyers came from families with only girls or no children at all, so they wanted to buy children. Therefore, boys, especially young ones, were easier to sell."
"But Boss Quan is a little different. He doesn't care about gender or age. He especially likes children aged four or five, who have some memories but can't quite remember them. As for where he takes these children, we really don't know. After Boss Quan gives us the money, he will blindfold us and send us away."
Si Ran and Officer Yu could tell that the suspect had no reason to lie.
The suspect's words are indeed unbelievable.
Si Ran said, "With so many police cars coming to the mine today, Quan Feihong might have become suspicious. If he wants to protect himself, we might lose all the clues if we go back now. Most importantly, I'm worried that Quan Feihong will kill to silence us."
Officer Yu's pupils shrank.
Ruan Qingyue, who was standing by, was also taken aback for a moment, then analyzed, "Sister Ran means that Quan Feihong will keep those employees with intellectual disabilities in the mine."
Si Ran nodded.
“That’s very likely.”
At this time, Quan Feihong absolutely could not transfer the employees. The target was too large and it would be easy to be exposed. Moreover, once they left the mine, it would be difficult for so many employees to hide.
If she were Quan Feihong, she would die without any evidence.
Officer Yu held the walkie-talkie in his hand, and the police officers and wildlife protection team in other cars could also hear the voice.
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
If this is true, Quan Feihong will most likely take action tonight.
By that time, it would be too late for Quan Feihong to kill and silence the witnesses.
Officer Yu immediately reacted: "Then we can't go back to the police station now."
"Return."
Si Ran said, "If we go back now, we can buy time and make Quan Feihong feel uneasy, making him hesitate whether to kill and silence the witness."
Officer Yu frowned: "But..."
Si Ran smiled softly: "Officer Yu, it's just a few cars. We can just let a few police officers drive them back. We will stay here. It's a dark and windy night, which is a good time to get things done."
"You mean we sneak in?" Officer Yu shook his head. "I checked when I went there today. There are a lot of cameras in the mining area. If so many of us sneak in, we'll definitely be discovered."
"Who said we have to sneak in? Why don't we go in openly?"
"Should we just search directly?"
Si Ran still shook her head. She took the intercom from Officer Yu and said to the other end of the intercom, "Sister Song Zhi, it's up to you from now on."
"Brother Pei should be free recently, right?"
When Song Zhi heard this, after such a long period of cooperation, she suddenly understood that Si Ran was going to use the same trick again.
She spoke into the intercom, which crackled with electricity, "I have to make time to serve the people even if I don't have time."
"Not only does he have to be free, but the entire Pei family, young and old, must be free."
