The Tragedy of Art vs. Child Trafficking (XI)
The Nanfu Municipal Bureau was in a state of chaos. Except for the first team, all the personnel supported the second team and were busy with registration, inquiry, and contact.
Crying, shouting, all kinds of sounds mixed together.
The parents who received the call rushed to the Municipal Bureau. The scene of recognizing relatives was everywhere and everyone's eyes were red.
Gu Fang suddenly interrogated Xu Lai Fu. Xu Lai Fu was caught in the act but he still refused to reveal any information about other trafficked children and women. He said defiantly: "I will take this information to my grave."
Gu Fang's anger pleased him, and he laughed loudly, "I hate you hypocritical people, who are doing dirty things in the name of justice."
Gu Fang took a deep breath and calmed himself. "I know that you have lost your trust in the police because of Old Han, but there are still many good police officers in the public security system. Your so-called dream is so fragile. I think your dream is just a lip service."
"You don't have to deliberately provoke me, it's useless." Xu Lai Fu closed his eyes and refused to say anything more.
Gu Fang sneered, "I know why you didn't say anything, it's just because you have someone to lean on." He stood up, "Lü Sheng was also arrested."
Xu Lai Fu suddenly opened his eyes, looking stunned.
Gu Fang continued, "It's in the interrogation room next door. You thought you did it perfectly, but it's actually full of loopholes."
"impossible!"
Gu Fang looked at him deeply, opened the door and went out.
In the interrogation room next door, Qiu Ming and Qi Jiabao were interrogating Lu Sheng. This man, who claimed to make a living by doing odd jobs, had a sinister and cold light in his small eyes.
"Why did you arrest me? I'm just an honest farmer. Are you police officers just arresting random people when handling cases?"
Qiu Ming ignored his shouting, "You and Xu Laifu have been trafficking in people for two years, and you still say you are honest farmers. Are you insulting the word farmer?"
Lu Sheng was slightly startled, but he quickly calmed down, "Where's the evidence? Do the police only rely on words to solve the case?"
"You have a large amount of money in your account at the Agricultural Bank of China. How can you, a part-time worker, have so much money?"
"Officer, you must be mistaken. My family is so poor that I don't even have money to treat my wife's epilepsy. If I had money, would I not treat her?"
"This is where you are vicious. In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, you deliberately did not treat your wife's illness. In your heart, you wished she would die."
"Officer, please speak according to your conscience. I love my wife very much."
"Really? Then why did you buy the Lu Sancai?" Qiu Ming's eyes suddenly turned cold. He was tall and looked very scary when he got angry.
Lu Sheng immediately stuttered, "What are you talking about? Sancai is my daughter."
"You and Lu Sancai have no blood relationship at all. You kidnapped Lu Sancai from somewhere else."
Lu Sheng had a dark face and said nothing.
Qiu Ming: "You molested Lü Sancai at night and your wife found out. She lost her mind and cut off your fingers. Your wife has confessed everything. She also knows that you deliberately refused to treat her. You wanted her to die so that no one would interfere with you. You didn't raise Lü Sancai as a daughter, but as an object of your molestation."
When he heard Jiang Xuyao's retelling, he wanted to catch the bastard immediately.
Lu Sheng looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Women are really the cause of trouble. I should have killed her earlier."
"Do you think you have done so many immoral things, and you are really flawless? The law is vast and nothing can escape it. In the corners you can't see, someone has recorded every crime you committed."
"So what? I have saved so many childless families. They bought their children and are grateful to me."
"But you have destroyed more families who have been looking for their lost children. When you abducted children and women, did you ever ask for their opinions? You and Xu Laifu have done so many evil things, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"So you police officers believe in this, too. Things like retribution are just used to deceive people."
Qi Jiabao couldn't listen any longer. "Sitting here is your karma! You have so much money in the bank, but you don't have the guts to spend it. You're afraid of being discovered, and you're even more afraid of being arrested.
Lu Sheng, you are actually a coward. It's useless to say so many high-sounding nonsense! You are not as good as Xu Laifu. At least he got what he wanted. What about you? Your wife has epilepsy, but you don't spend money to treat her. You can't have your own children, so she has to kidnap someone. And you still say that retribution is a lie! ”
Lu Sheng's face turned ugly. "Xu Laifu relied on his past as an auxiliary police officer and his understanding of the internal affairs of the public security system. He acted superior. He was just guarding these people. It was me who went to scout the place and find buyers."
Qiu Ming sneered, "Xu Laifu has confessed. He said that it was all your instructions. You are the mastermind."
"He's talking nonsense! He's lying!" Lu Sheng got excited, "He's the mastermind! He did everything!"
"But you said he was just looking after the people you kidnapped."
"That year, his leg was broken by that family. He had no way to stay in Xincheng, so he fled to Lingshan Mountain and met the old abbot. The old abbot took pity on him, took him in, and treated his leg.
Unfortunately, because his legs did not receive timely treatment, he could no longer walk like a normal person. He hated that family and Lao Han so much. That year, I was worried because I couldn't make any money and had no money to treat my wife's illness, so I went to the Temple of the God of Wealth to draw lots and met him.
He sat in the yard in a daze, with a very scary look in his eyes. Because I was very familiar with the old host, he told me about Xu Lai Fu. I said at the time, he was so cowardly, his leg was broken, but he didn't even know how to retaliate.
Xu Lai Fu just looked at me steadily, and then he smiled. I still remember his smile to this day, it was very, very creepy.
When I saw him again, he came to my house and said that he had succeeded in his revenge and found a way to make money. He asked me if I wanted to do it. ”
Qiu Ming: "Did you start to engage in human trafficking from that time?"
Lu Sheng nodded. "I was very timid at first, afraid of being discovered. But Xu Laifu said that he had already done it and no one would find out. He asked me to find suitable candidates and he would be responsible for training them. I don't know how he trained them, but after they were arrested, they didn't say a word."
"Where is the old abbot of the Temple of the God of Wealth?"
"I don't know. I asked once, and Xu Laifu told me to leave it alone."
Then Lu Sheng explained where the women and children were abducted from and where they were sold to. After Qiu Ming sorted them out, he gave them to Zhang Changming.
Zhang Changming quickly reported the matter to the provincial department, which stepped in to rescue the children and women.
However, Lao Han’s daughter and that family’s son were not on the list, so they still had to pry open Xu Lai Fu’s mouth.
Gu Fang believed that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, so Old Han needed to come in person.
Taking into account what happened to Lao Han’s daughter, Zhang Changming was afraid that Lao Han might become overly emotional and do something out of line, so he decided to ask Dou Hai, the director of Xincheng Police Station, to come first.
Dou Hai received the call and rushed over that day. After listening to Gu Fang's story, he felt angry, hateful and regretful. He regretted that he should not have fired Xu Lai Fu without finding out the truth, which indirectly led to the selling of Lao Han's daughter.
Ever since Old Han lost his daughter, his parents became so worried that they fell ill and his wife divorced him. He was like a soulless puppet all day long, unable to concentrate on his work, and had to be transferred to do odd jobs in logistics.
As for the family Xu Lai Fu mentioned, their situation was not much better. The father quit his job to look for his children, and the mother had mental problems, and no amount of money was spent to cure her, and the family was almost broken up.
Gu Fang sympathized with their situation, but the most important thing at the moment was to pry open Xu Lai Fu's mouth and find the whereabouts of the child and Lao Han's daughter.
Dou Hai said: "I'll go, even if I have to kneel down in front of him." When he opened the door and saw Xu Lai Fu sitting on the interrogation chair, he was stunned.
The original Xu Lai Fu had bright eyes, always had a smile on his face, and looked very energetic. At this moment, he had a gloomy face and dim eyes, without any light in them. It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Ever since he embarked on the road of crime, his temperament has changed.
Xu Laifu looked at Dou Hai indifferently, "Director Dou, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as high-spirited as before."
Dou Hai was sitting on a chair, with Gu Fang sitting next to him.
"I know you hate me. It's my fault that I fired you without finding out the whole story."
"I know I'm just an auxiliary police officer, and you guys are the police. If I were you, I would do the same, after all, I'm just a temporary worker."
"I never treated you as a temporary worker. I also want to train you well."
"Captain, please don't lie to me. You have been looking down on me from the beginning to the end, thinking that I am just an auxiliary police officer."
"I really treat you the same as them. Believe it or not, I fired you because I had no choice. The missing old man died, and someone has to take responsibility."
"So you chose me!" Xu Lai Fu slammed the table angrily.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Dou Hai stood up and bowed deeply to him.
Xu Laifu looked at him coldly, and when he saw the white hair on his head that was getting thinner day by day, he turned his head away and said, "Don't try that on me."
"Xiao Xu, don't hold on any longer. If you're still not satisfied, I'll ask Lao Han to come and apologize to you. Even kneeling down is fine."
"You've done so much, but you still want to know the whereabouts of Old Han's daughter."
"Old Han has aged very quickly in the past two years and is a little bit mentally retarded. You know he loves his daughter very much and raised her with love. You sold his daughter, which is equivalent to selling his life.
Back then, when you went to the police station, it was Old Han who brought you there. You forgot that the first time you caught a thief, you were almost stabbed, and it was Lao Han who blocked it for you. Even if you hate him, he once saved you. "Dou Hai almost cried because his momentary thought had harmed so many people.
Xu Laifu lowered his head and said, "I want to see Lao Han."
"Okay, okay, I'll call him over right away."
A man with gray hair, a hunched back, and who was so thin that he was just skin and bones, ran into the Municipal Bureau. "Director, Chief!" He shouted as he ran, his face covered in sweat.
Dou Hai came out upon hearing this. The man staggered to his side and grabbed his arm tightly. "Where is he? I'll kneel down for him!"
Gu Fang sighed softly, "Come with me, calm down and don't get too excited. He's taking advantage of you."
Old Han nodded, but when he saw Xu Lai Fu, he couldn't help but rush forward. Dou Hai's words on the phone were very vague, but as a policeman for many years, he naturally figured out the key.
Xu Lai Fu almost didn't recognize Lao Han. He was so different from the person he knew at first. Old Han was chubby back then, without a single white hair on his head. He spoke in a loud voice and always had a smile on his face, smiling at everyone. The person in front of me was too thin and had a miserable look on his face.
It turns out that in the past two years, more than just myself has changed.
Old Han walked towards him step by step, his whole body tense and his fists clenched. Gu Fang followed behind him to prevent any sudden changes.
Suddenly, Old Han knelt down on the ground with a thud. Gu Fang and Dou Haiju were both stunned.
Xu Lai Fu laughed out loud, and tears came down his face as he laughed.
Old Han grabbed his arm and said, "Laifu, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have put all the blame on you and let you get fired. It's all my fault. Please let my daughter go. I beg you. We have worked together for many years and I have saved you before. Please let my daughter go. As long as you let my daughter go, I will work like a slave and compensate you."
Xu Lai Fu pushed his hand away and said, "Let him go away, let him go away!" He didn't dare to look into Lao Han's eyes.
"Okay, I'll leave. I'll leave."
Dou Hai helped Old Han up from the ground and winked at Gu Fang.
Gu Fang took a pen and paper and placed them in front of Xu Lai Fu. Xu Lai Fu bit his lower lip, picked up the pen tremblingly, and wrote down the whereabouts of Lao Han's daughter and the son of that family.
