He told Director Mu about the situation inside, "There are three houses in the yard, and three men and one woman live in them. They must be human traffickers."
"The people they kidnapped should be locked up in a cellar in the backyard. It's locked. From what I heard, there are at least three people locked up in there."
Director Mu received accurate information and gave orders without delay. Chen Chen jumped in again to help them open the door.
More than a dozen police officers rushed in and held down everyone who was still sleeping in the room.
Director Mu and his men went straight to the cellar in the backyard. The lock was just an ordinary old-fashioned padlock.
He took the axe and knocked off the lock in a few strokes. After opening the cellar door, Xu Miaomiao also wanted to go down and take a look.
But Chen Chen felt that the next scene would not be good, so he simply handed her over to a female police officer who was with them.
Xu Miaomiao is not someone who refuses to listen to advice. She knows that she is still quite weak in some aspects, so it is better not to cause trouble for them.
As Chen Chen expected, the scene in the cellar was horrific. Five girls were locked up in the basement of less than ten square meters.
The basement was dark and damp, and smelled of excrement.
With the help of the flashlight, I could see that the five people were tied up like dumplings.
When they first saw so many people coming down, they all showed expressions of fear and despair. When they calmed down and saw the clothes on their bodies, they struggled excitedly and cried.
Two of them couldn't even stop themselves from wailing even with their mouths gagged, and their cries were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
This cellar was not suitable for interrogation, so Director Mu asked several female police officers who came with him to go forward and untie the people and take them back to the police station.
The county public security bureau now has electricity, and it was here that Xu Miaomiao could see the appearance of the abducted girls clearly.
Zhao Sumei was indeed among them. Her clothes had been torn to shreds, and a lot of her skin was exposed.
Her body was covered with bruises and purple marks, so it was obvious what had happened to her.
Looking at the other four victims, they were all relatively young, with the youngest appearing to be only about eleven or twelve years old.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, but fortunately their clothes were intact, so they probably had no other injuries.
Because Xu Miaomiao and the others were the ones who reported the case and provided important clues, they couldn't leave for the time being and had to wait until they got to the bottom of the matter.
Director Mu noticed Xu Miaomiao's curiosity and asked directly, "Do you want to listen to the interrogation?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at him in surprise, "Is it okay? Would it be inappropriate?"
Director Mu smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. I have the final say here."
He wasn't bragging; this was his territory, and his word was his. Besides, it was just a small matter like listening in; no one would offend him for it.
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaomiao grabbed Chenchen's hand, the meaning was self-evident.
Chen Jianghe took him with them when they went to arrest people, and after arresting them he went back to the village to report the news.
Director Mu took them to see the interrogation of the man Xu Miaomiao recognized.
They found a stool in the corner and sat down, listening to the police interrogation. At first, the boy was uncooperative and refused to speak.
But after using some tricks, he burst into tears and cried, "Government, spare my life, I will confess everything!"
He also knew that he was caught red-handed this time, and he couldn't argue even if he had a lot of tricks. It would be better for him to speak out directly so that he would suffer less.
Then he told them in detail where they were from, where he had kidnapped the girls, and where they were sold to.
The police officer asked, "Did you rape them?"
He quickly shook his head, "No, no." He was afraid the police wouldn't believe him, so he quickly added, "The girls we kidnapped were all virgins. If we did it ourselves, we wouldn't be able to sell them for a high price!"
A female police officer who had seen the marks on Zhao Sumei's body angrily slammed the table and scolded her, "You lied! It seems you are still not honest!"
The man shuddered with fear. "I...I...I remember now. There is one, there is one."
"We didn't kidnap her. A woman sold her to us."
Xu Miaomiao felt that it was as expected when she heard this. From his words, she knew that Xu Aihong once saw them tying up a girl.
But unexpectedly, she didn't call for help or save anyone, but instead helped them deceive the people who heard the cries for help.
Afterwards, Xu Aihong found him and said that she could help them kidnap people for free, but she had only one request.
The man was a little confused as he spoke, "She said she doesn't want money, just that we do her a favor."
"We didn't take it seriously at first, but who knew she would send that woman here yesterday morning."
"She told us she was married. I thought she was worthless since she was married, so it would be better to have some fun with her." He said, looking at the female police officer with a guilty look on his face.
Director Mu asked, "Do you know where that woman lives?"
He shook his head and added, "If I catch her, will it be considered a meritorious service?"
Mu You scoffed and said, "It depends on the situation."
The man suddenly felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly said, "She said yesterday that she would send a woman tomorrow."
"This time she's a grown-up girl, and she doesn't want any money."
Upon hearing this, Director Mu pondered for a while and thought that it seemed that he could catch the thief and seize the stolen goods tomorrow.
After hearing his confession, Xu Miaomiao intuitively felt that the thing Xu Aihong asked them to help with was related to her.
She asked aloud, "What did that woman ask you to do for me?"
The man first looked at Director Mu for his opinion, and only answered Xu Miaomiao after seeing him nod.
"He said there was an educated youth in their village who was married but very beautiful."
"She asked us to kidnap her and sell her, and she said we would definitely not suffer any loss."
No matter how you sounded, it sounded like these words were directed at him. Before Xu Miaomiao could ask, Chen Chen asked sternly.
"Did she say the name of the person she wanted to kidnap?"
The man thought for a long time before he remembered, "She mentioned it once. It seemed her name was Xu...Xu Miaomiao? Or was it Xu Miaomiao?"
They actually wanted to kidnap Xu Miaomiao! Chen Chen flew into a rage upon hearing this, and strode forward, swinging his fist to hit them.
The two police officers were about to stand up to pull the man away, but Director Mu coughed twice at the right time, and the two officers sat back down after hearing the sound.
Anyway, he is a human trafficker who has committed heinous crimes. As long as he is not beaten to death, it is okay to teach him a lesson.
In the end, Xu Miaomiao saw that his eyes were bloodshot with anger and his fists were swinging faster and faster. Fearing that something might go wrong, she stepped forward and grabbed him.
Chen Chen hugged her tightly, feeling a wave of fear in her heart. She had seen women being trafficked into the mountains.
Whenever he thought about his young wife becoming like that, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
