Rebirth
Qu'an City Bureau
The news that a human trafficking case had been solved quickly became popular in the Municipal Bureau, and everyone congratulated the captain of the second team openly and secretly.
Han Ming also followed suit and congratulated him. Xiong Wei waved his hand without saying anything, looking unperturbed by praise or criticism.
After the people walked away, Han Ming curled his lips, frowned like him, and said, "No need~"
Passing by the printing area, he patted Cheng Xiaoxiang and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Ouch, I was so scared!" Cheng Xiaoxiang patted his heart, "Captain Han, are you okay?"
"Why, can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
"Yes~" Cheng Xiaoxiang said perfunctorily.
"Where's your boss?"
"He'll be here in a moment. Why don't you wait at his table?"
"Okay." Han Ming smiled and took the person in his arms, and they went back to the serious crime team together.
As soon as I sat down, I saw Chen An coming in from the main gate from afar. I wanted to call him, but Bai Shuo intercepted him and reported some things.
"Boss, Cheng Xiaoxiang, Lu Yuyao and the others went looking for that kid yesterday, but they didn't get anything out of him. They only know his name is 'Xiao Ji,' but there are so many people with 'Ji' in their names across the country, it's too far to pinpoint him. I checked the nearby surveillance cameras and didn't find any suspicious individuals. I also checked for people wearing windbreakers, but found nothing. The killer is truly very thoughtful."
Chen An nodded. Bai Shuo hesitated for a moment and said, "There's something else I need to tell you."
"What?"
"Team Two cracked a kidnapping case."
"It's kidnapping again." Chen An frowned briefly. "Has the main culprit been caught?"
"Well……"
Bai Shuo didn't know what to say. Han Ming happened to walk out after noticing that Bai Shuo hadn't come in for a long time. He then took over his words, "It was a case from many years ago. The mastermind was caught."
Bai Shuo saw that they had something to say and took the initiative to move aside. Han Ming pulled Chen An to buy a bottle of drink from the vending machine at the door. "Xiong Wei should get a second-class merit this time."
"Where did you get the news?"
The two of them sat on the steps. Han Ming put his arm around his shoulders and whispered, "Why do you think he ended the Zheng Tong case so hastily?"
Chen An raised his eyebrows. Han Ming said, "When encountering the Zheng Tong case, Xiong Wei had already felt the shadow of the kidnapping case. I guess he closed the case in a hurry because of the kidnapping case. Look, the case is handed to you. By the time you solve it, he will have solved the kidnapping case as well."
"If you say so, there must be something special about this case."
Han Ming said, "Of course! He arrested Fan Wenqing!"
"Fan Wenqing," Chen An said, "Is that Fan Wenqing, the mastermind behind the Gao Ling kidnapping and trafficking case?"
“That’s him!”
About six years ago, Fan Wenqing, who had committed multiple kidnapping cases, was found. After investigation, a list of some abducted children was verified, but Fan Wenqing managed to escape during the operation and only a few of his followers were arrested. At that time, Chen An was about to graduate and transferred to the Municipal Bureau, and Han Ming, who joined the company with him, also discussed these things with him as he does now.
The Gaoling trafficking case stemmed from Fan Wenqing's primary activity in Gaoling City, where he conducted dozens of human trafficking transactions in just a few months. Fan Wenqing was subsequently captured by a young girl, who escaped and successfully reported the case to the police. Police subsequently uncovered a list of earlier transactions, surmising that Fan Wenqing was behind a vast trafficking ring.
He had been missing since his escape six years ago, but this time he was caught by Xiong Wei.
"However, Team Two only captured Fan Wenqing and his men, not the people behind the scenes." Han Ming lowered his head and pulled out the weeds in front of him. "I've always felt that things have been very unsettled lately. What Team Two and you have uncovered seems quite complicated."
The matter of the website has been reported to the investigation team.
Chen An watched him weeding silently from the side, then pinched his shoulder and said, "Just like you said, don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about."
After submitting his report and preparing to return, he ran into Xiong Wei at the stairwell. The credit for Zheng Tong's case went to the Serious Crime Squad. The stairs on the left were smaller, and two men, over 5 feet 4 inches tall, were stuck at the same corner. Chen An was about to speak when he heard the other man say, "Captain Chen, do you have time to chat?"
He was not very familiar with Xiong Wei, so he must have something to tell him when he said that.
On the rooftop, the two of them leaned on the railing together. The captain of the second team, who usually looked down on others with his nose in the air, actually had a relieved expression.
After finishing a cigarette, Xiong Wei slowly spoke, "Actually, when I knew it was you who would pursue the matter, I felt relieved."
"oh?"
Chen An doesn't smoke. He took out an orange-flavored lollipop from his pocket. This was the one Jiang Li had stuffed into his coat pocket last night.
Xiong Wei watched him unpack a lollipop and smiled, "Have you quit smoking?"
"Yeah." Chen An said, "Smoking too much is not good."
Xiong Wei continued, "I admit that because of the Gao Ling trafficking case, I didn't have a deep understanding of the Zheng Tong case. I always knew Yu Xiaowei had accused Anna, but I never investigated further. At the time, I only vaguely felt that Fan Wenqing would reappear, but where and when were the problems. These days, I dared not relax for a moment, for fear of missing the opportunity to catch him."
Chen An suddenly remembered a connection. Xiong Wei was the apprentice of Liang Qiuchen, the former captain of the serious crime squad. It was Liang Qiuchen who handled the Gao Ling trafficking case. He probably did this to fulfill Liang Qiuchen's wish.
"Fortunately, Yu Xiaowei is quite smart. She found you."
Xiong Wei looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.
At that time, as Liang Qiuchen's apprentice, everyone naturally thought that the serious crime team would be handed over to Xiong Wei. However, Chen An, who rejected the invitation of the investigation team, was directly parachuted in to take over the position of captain of the serious crime team. Although there is no big difference in position between the first team, the second team and the serious crime team, they have different meanings for Xiong Wei.
Over the years, they have each been doing their own job and have rarely interacted with each other. It is rumored that the captain of the second team has a strange personality and is difficult to get along with. They have heard this rumor so many times that they have developed some prejudice against him.
Chen An smiled. It turned out that what happened that day was not a embarrassment, but a trust.
"That kid Han Ming must have said a lot of bad things about me."
Xiong Wei is a little older than the other two and has more experience, so he speaks in a pretentious tone like an elder.
Chen An smoothed things over for Han Ming, "No, he respects you very much."
Xiong Wei obviously didn't believe it. He smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart." Then he sighed, "Even if Fan Wenqing is caught, the cancer of human trafficking still hasn't been completely eradicated."
According to Fan Wenqing, he has not trafficked in human beings for a long time. The money he has saved is enough to support him for the rest of his life. Now that he has been caught, he is not sure whether he will live to spend it all.
"Once a crime occurs, it inevitably involves countless people, and the road to arrest is long and arduous."
Xiong Wei nodded silently, saying that his people should not be too greedy. Catching Fan Wenqing and sentencing him severely would be a comfort to the family of the abducted child.
"Captain Xiong, can you show me the list of people Fan Wenqing has kidnapped?"
Xiong Wei hesitated for a moment, "Yes, I can, but what's wrong?"
"I have a friend who wants to find someone." Chen An omitted the information and spoke in general terms.
"Come with me." Xiong Wei turned and walked into the office, pulling out the case folder from his computer desktop. "It's not a complete count, and some of it is lost because Fan Wenqing can't remember it."
He gave his seat to Chen An, who looked through the list one by one. He didn't find the person after turning over eight pages, but his intuition told him that Fan Wenqing must have abducted older girls before, until the end of the ninth page - Su Jinxian and Su Jinyou.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
Chen An shook his head, "No."
"Maybe it wasn't recorded. This list is incomplete."
"It's okay." Chen An smiled at him. "It was just a guess. If he's not on the list, it's possible he wasn't kidnapped. I'd like to thank Team Bear on behalf of my friend."
Xiong Wei waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
After leaving the second team's office, Chen An returned to his seat and pondered for a moment. It was Fan Wenqing who had abducted the Su sisters. As far as he knew, Su Jinxian and Anna were sold to the same destination, while Su Jinyou was sent separately to the floating island. What was Fan Wenqing's profit chain like? How many times had his people been resold?
