Chapter 216: First Victory (4)
After half an hour of communication, Sun Liang gave a brief introduction to the cooperation between the Huacheng Criminal Investigation Bureau and several provincial cities in handling cases under the leadership of the provincial department.
Director Kang was also very angry when talking about human traffickers kidnapping children.
"We also have sporadic incidents like this here. However, we have never encountered a situation like in Central City where more than a dozen children went missing at the same time," said Director Kang.
"So, after you finish interrogating Punilnev, have a working lunch in our bureau. At noon, we will arrange for you to take a short rest in the bureau's guesthouse to recover your strength. You have been working non-stop these few days, and it's really hard work." Director Kang was very considerate.
"Thank you, Director Kang," Sun Liang said, without further ado. After all, having a working lunch and a nap on Director Kang's territory was a sign of concern and support for the work of the Huacheng Bureau. If Director Kang and his team came to Huacheng to handle a case, Sun Liang and Li Li would surely give them a warm welcome.
Then, Sun Liang took Hu into the interrogation room.
Pnirnev has been taken to the interrogation room.
He hung his head, looking listless. He probably never imagined that he would be caught here by the police.
"Name." Hu asked.
"Pnirnev."
"Age." Hu asked.
"35."
"Occupation?" Hu asked.
"Business."
"How long have you rented this yard in Heihe?" Hu asked.
"Let me think..." Pnirnev raised his pale face, looking forward with empty eyes, as if thinking hard.
"It seems... it seems like five years ago. Yes, five years ago, in 2013. I rented this house for my wholesale business."
"Why are the cardboard boxes containing these children among the goods in your yard?" Hu asked.
"I'm innocent, innocent!" Pnirnev shouted, looking very excited.
Crying out injustice is something that most people who are arrested and taken to the police station will do...
"Comrade police officer. I'm just helping them collect and manage the goods..." Pnirnev.
"This kind of cargo collection is like a transit station. You put them here and keep them for me, and I charge a small fee... It's just to make a little money. Who knew that there was a child hidden in them? I didn't check, so how would I know they would hide a child under the box?" Pnirnev seemed very aggrieved and kept shouting for justice.
"As for you, don't just keep complaining that you're being wronged. Just explain the whole story clearly and truthfully, and we police officers will naturally decide whether you've been wronged." Hu.
"I, I." Pnirnev hurried.
It turned out that three days ago, Pnirnev received a call from his old friend Sergei. He said there was a batch of goods from Huacheng that needed to be left with Pnirnev for a while. Someone would come to pick them up in a day at most. He also promised to give him the most favorable handling fee for keeping and storing the goods.
Since there was money to be made, Pnirnev naturally had no objection and readily agreed.
Yesterday afternoon, the container truck from Huacheng arrived at his yard. After checking the situation, Punielnev confirmed that it was the cargo from Sergei from Huacheng, so he accepted it. At the time, the driver, Lin Dao, even paid him 500 yuan for storage...
"What does this Lin Dao look like?" Hu asked.
"He had a beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and long hair, which was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head like a woman. He was of medium height and spoke fluent Chinese," recalled Pnirnev.
