Chapter 393: Following the Clues (4)
"In the past, I could earn tens of thousands of rubles at most by carrying things for my acquaintances; and by carrying large sacks for Ivan Yeger, I could earn 100,000 rubles at a time without any troubles such as returns. Now, Ivan Yeger's subordinates said that if I help transport more than ten children at a time, I can get 50,000 rubles for each child. Ten children means 500,000 rubles, which is almost my annual salary! Tell me, how can I not be tempted?" said Andrei.
Question: "Then don't you think about what will happen to the families who lost their children? You will do anything to make money?"
Answer: "I also felt very guilty at the beginning. I remember the first time I took those children, I was nervous and scared. I was worried that they would be discovered and that the children would run around and shout... When they were sent up, they were all drugged. But after a while, the drugs would lose their effect... So, I blocked their mouths and blindfolded them, and then, using my special identity as the captain's secretary, I opened the warehouse room on the bottom floor and hid them inside. Then, after a few hours, I had to feed them some water to prevent the children from becoming dehydrated. In short, I was very careful and there has not been a single accident." Andre said.
Question: "This time, Huacheng clearly only gave you these four children. Why did you say just now that you always have ten children?"
Answer: "There is another small gang in City X who also often provides children."
Question: "Please describe in detail how the traffickers in City X transported children to Russia through you. What was the contact's name? What were his characteristics? How many children were transported through you..."
A: "Comrade police officer, if I confess the crime of the human traffickers in City X, will it be considered as meritorious service and atonement for my crime, and will my sentence be reduced?" Andre asked.
His blue eyes, which had been dull all this time, suddenly sparkled with light...
Q: "Of course. As long as you tell us the truth and everything you know."
Answer: "Comrade police officer, I will tell the truth and strive to get a reduction in sentence for meritorious service. I have a wife and children waiting for me at home!" said Andre.
Andrei wasn't listed in Interpol's Russian criminal files... Duan Lian reflected: Young people like Andrei, after all, followed the rules from childhood, attending high school and then entering the workforce. It's just that bad workplace relationships and a thirst for money led them down a path of crime... These young people, first-time offenders, can return to a normal life if they repent, confess their crimes, and make a clean break with their past.
Andre then described in detail what he knew.
"This guy from City X is a man in his forties. He didn't tell me his real name. He asked me to call him Caesar. Caesar usually asks me to transport a load of children once a quarter. Ivan Yeger's men call me to inform me when to pick up the goods and when he comes. His phone number is... I once asked Ivan Yeger's men what Caesar's real name was, but he didn't tell me. He asked me to do my job well and mind my own business. So..." Andre raised his head and looked at Duan Lian and said.
Question: "Then tell me about his characteristics... We will ask someone to sketch his portrait." Duan Lian said.
"Okay. He has very dark skin, a fat face, a triple chin, and an almost invisible neck. His nose is flat and fleshy, with a red tip and what looks like some small bumps..."
