Chapter 252: After we return home, shall we go to the temple to worship?
Those three were all very young men, and they were all Chinese.
Maybe it was because he had been soaking in the sea for too long, his face was very pale.
These people told Jiang Wanxing and others that they were college students who had recently come here for tourism and had encountered human traffickers.
There were five of them in total, three men and two women.
Two other girls were separated from them in the sea and are nowhere to be found.
Jiang Wanxing raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Then how did you fall into the sea? Did the traffickers throw you in?"
"no."
One of them said weakly, "We were abducted by human traffickers onto a cargo ship and trapped in the cabin. We saw that we were very close to the shore, so we secretly jumped into the water... We can all swim and are national second-level athletes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanxing understood instantly and chuckled.
"Then you are quite smart."
This statement is of course meant as a mockery.
Just because they can see the coast in the sea doesn't mean they are actually close to it.
On the contrary, the shore that is right in front of them may be very far away from them.
These people probably dared to jump into the sea because they were very skilled and brave.
The boy could also understand what Jiang Wanxing meant, but he was not in the mood to care about it. He just covered his face and cried.
"I should have held her back...it was too dark, I couldn't see anything..."
It has come to this point, and everyone knows it.
Most of those who haven’t come up will never be able to come up in this lifetime.
Jiang Wanxing lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Our people have already notified the embassy, but don't hold out too much hope.
It's night time now, and although I haven't seen any sharks in this area, there are plenty of venomous creatures in the sea, so it's unlikely we'll be able to rescue anyone alive."
Even the possibility of them finding the body is not very high.
The boy covered his face and started crying again.
Although these three boys swam out of the sea with great difficulty, they still had a good sense of direction.
Several people took a boat and went to the sea area where they had the accident.
But at this time there was nothing on the sea.
The program crew's boat circled the sea several times.
We had to go back only when the fuel tank was almost empty.
The program crew was still waiting on the shore.
The sea breeze is strong at night.
After Jiang Wanxing got off the boat, Rong Shuyan put a coat on her.
"What did the embassy say?"
Jiang Wanxing looked at Miao Yushu.
Miao Yushu sighed, "We've organized a search and rescue ship to come here, but it won't arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
The director's words were like a heavy blow to the three young people.
I won't arrive until tomorrow morning...
This means that even if a rescue ship arrives, all they can salvage are corpses.
"What should I do?"
The boy's face turned pale, and he kept saying, "Huihui can't die... She's only twenty years old! Please save her... I beg you..."
After he finished speaking, another boy suddenly asked, "Is there a rescue team on the next island?"
After all, the island they were on was a very small one, and there were residents next door.
Jiang Wanxing shrugged.
"I advise you not to count on those people on the island next door."
"Why?" The boy widened his eyes.
Jiang Wanxing said, "The police officers here only help human traffickers. Even if you go to them, they're probably just thinking about how to shut you up completely."
Hearing this, the boy held his head in pain.
“Why…why is this happening…”
Jiang Wanxing leaned on the sofa with no expression on his face.
"Sometimes, just because there are many people doesn't mean it's safe. Take the islands here. Before World War II, the residents were still living in the Stone Age. They jumped directly from primitive society to modern society.
You always believe that the more backward a place is, the more honest the people are. Why don't you believe that poor and bad places produce unruly people?
We are a family. If a large criminal organization like this didn't have a protective umbrella, Interpol alone would be enough to kill them a thousand times."
Jiang Wanxing said this not to belittle the poor.
The poor are just poor, that doesn’t mean they don’t follow the rules.
Rather, it means that the shorter and smaller the time a place is affected by the outside world, the closer the thinking and behavior of the people in that place are to animal instincts.
Things that only follow instincts and do not abide by social rules are generally called beasts.
Therefore, Jiang Wanxing has always felt that when ordinary people travel, they should just visit some constructed attractions and not think about exploring nature.
What's more, Southeast Asia is one of the world's major human trafficking centers.
Many people in the country can be deceived into coming to Southeast Asia, let alone coming here on their own.
And not even in the big cities!
When Jiang Wanxing finished saying this, the boy was already crying uncontrollably.
The atmosphere in the living room was also depressing.
The live broadcast has now stopped, and the program team also briefly explained the situation they encountered online.
Because this incident involved the filming of a variety show, the social response was particularly huge.
Jiang Wanxing looked at the three boys in front of him calmly.
"I suggest you rest for a while and wait for the search and rescue ship organized by the embassy to arrive before going out to sea."
At this point, the three boys had no choice but to agree.
Because the live broadcast was not continuing, Jiang Wanxing went to Rong Shuyan's room to rest.
In the bedroom.
Jiang Wanxing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is your underwater detector useful? Can it find anyone?"
Rong Shuyan shook his head.
"It's useless. Detectors are designed to look for heat sources, and a dead person can't maintain a constant temperature."
What he said was a bit cold-blooded, but it also fits the current situation.
By the next morning, domestic public opinion had completely exploded.
Especially when netizens learned that the people involved in the accident were five college students, who were national second-level athletes with promising futures, all emotions reached a peak.
According to United Nations statistics, 2.5 million people go missing every year around the world.
As one of the world's largest human trafficking transit centers, Southeast Asia plays an important role in this process.
The most important thing is that large transnational criminal groups generally radiate to neighboring countries and regions.
After all, the longer the transportation route, the higher the risk along the way.
The closer they are, the closer their races are, and there is basically no difference in appearance, so the success rate of the scam is naturally higher.
It goes without saying that Southeast Asia is geographically closest to that place.
Early the next morning.
When the rescue boat arrived, the three boys went along.
The filming of the program was interrupted, but the popularity remained unabated.
Miao Yushu stood on the beach, feeling the sea breeze and scratching his hair.
"How could this happen... We were filming the show, what on earth did this go wrong?"
The main reason why he came here was because of the beautiful scenery.
As a result, I encountered this kind of thing.
At this moment, Miao Yushu suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Wanxing sitting on the beach.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Miao Yushu said, "How about we go to the temple and worship after we return home? Why do I feel so uneasy?"
Sin surrounded him, and the darkness of the world engulfed him.
Jiang Wanxing looked confused.
“Isn’t this a small matter?”
"A small matter?!"
He had never seen such a small thing many times in his life!!
