The good news that Peng Kun and his gang were all arrested spread across the country overnight.
Various media outlets took turns broadcasting footage of their arrest and being escorted back to the country.
The capture process was quite exciting.
Before being caught, Peng Kun and his companions rushed all day and all night, traveled nearly a hundred kilometers, and finally found a new place to stay.
They thought that they would be safe for a few days after moving to a new base.
Exhausted, they had just rested and were about to take turns sleeping.
Then, while he was sleeping, he was ambushed and subdued by the special forces who came down from the sky at lightning speed.
The entire arrest process took no more than two minutes.
None of the special forces involved in the raid were injured. The person on guard from Pengkun Group tried to resist and had one of his arms cut off. The rest were all captured alive.
When Peng Kun and others were escorted off the plane, the airport was surrounded by reporters and media, all vying to transmit the latest news to the whole country.
Peng Kun and others knew that they were at the end of the road.
They confessed to the police's charges, behaved in an extremely arrogant manner, and were proud of having committed such a shocking crime.
Faced with the numerous evil consequences they committed, this group of vicious drug traffickers showed no remorse.
All they regretted was that they trusted the wrong person and were caught by the police of Country Z.
They were both sitting on the interrogation chair, and Pengkun's tone was still extremely arrogant and conceited.
"It was Song Wen who betrayed me, right? Otherwise, how could you have found me? I was too soft-hearted and didn't take action against him. If I had killed him earlier, he wouldn't have had the chance to strike first."
The interrogating police officer asked, "Do you really think that your arrest was all thanks to Song Win?"
"It's not that I underestimated the Z police. If Song Wen hadn't betrayed me, you would never have caught me in your lifetime. With my connections in that area and my familiarity with those countries, you have no way to deal with me."
The interrogating police officer couldn't help laughing when he heard his arrogant words.
"Pengkun, don't overthink yourself. You're like a frog in a well, unaware of the outside world or how advanced technology is. Honestly, even if we give you the chance to escape to the ends of the earth, we can still recapture you with our current technology."
Peng Kun sneered disdainfully: "You've caught me, so of course you can say whatever you want."
The interrogating police officer slammed the table solemnly and said, "First, tell me everything you've done over the years."
Peng Kun acted like a scoundrel: "If you are so capable, just check it out yourself. Whatever you find out is what I will take responsibility for. I will take responsibility for it."
Interrogating a cunning criminal like Peng Kun requires patience and skill.
Unlike other criminal suspects, whose psychological defenses can be broken down with just a few words, Pengkun has a very strong psychological quality and is not afraid of police interrogation at all.
Even though he already knew that he was doomed, he refused to cooperate with the police, deliberately making their investigation more difficult and enjoying the fact that the police had no way to deal with him.
As long as he doesn't confess voluntarily, some cases will always remain unsolved and the police will not be able to find out the truth even if they want to.
The interrogation of Pengkun is destined to be a protracted battle.
Song Wen was quite cooperative and explained everything he was asked to explain.
But Songwen is just Pengkun's subordinate after all. Given Pengkun's vigilance, he would never let Songwen know all his plans.
Most of Pengkun's goods are sold domestically. Only he knows how many sales lines he has and the list of drug dealers he cooperates with.
I still have to find a way to pry open Pengkun's mouth.
While listening to the task force meeting, Dai Li suddenly had an idea.
"I have an idea."
Captain Xu's eyes lit up: "Teacher Dai, do you have any good ideas?"
Dai Li: "Think about how Song Wen became so honest?"
Everyone couldn't help but recall the time when Song Wen was first caught. He was as scoundrel as Peng Kun, until...
Everyone's eyes turned to Qu Yan, unsure if he was still willing to see Peng Kun.
Qu Yan: "I originally wanted to meet Peng Kun, but Peng Kun is different from Song Wen. He might not be scared when he sees me."
Dai Li: "Of course, I won't just meet you. Officer Qu Yan will go meet Peng Kun alone later. Before you go meet him, take Song Wen to meet Peng Kun first."
Before everyone could figure out the purpose of her arrangement, they heard her continue.
"Song Wen was shocked by the speed at which we caught them. When he saw that we could accurately know their location coordinates, he thought I knew witchcraft." Dai Li couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
At that time, Song Wen was so scared that his face turned pale and asked if she was performing a ritual.
Dai Li deliberately did not explain and gave him an unfathomable smile in return.
This frightened Songwen so much that he turned around and faced the police, and he dared not hide anything.
Dai Li: "People who grew up in those countries are basically religious and believe in the supernatural more than we do."
Song Wen believed it, and even if Peng Kun didn't believe it completely, he would still have some suspicions.
Let Song Wen meet Peng Kun first and create a thrilling atmosphere for him.
And Song Wen will definitely mention Qu Yan, which will make Peng Kun suspicious.
Arranging Qu Yan to appear later will definitely bring Peng Kun an exciting and terrifying experience, and shake Peng Kun's vigilance.
In the interrogation room, the interrogation atmosphere was still tense.
Peng Kun asked for several cigarettes and talked about several old cases over and over again, but he just refused to tell the police what they wanted to know most: the sales routes and personnel lists.
After a while, Pengkun saw the police officer who interrogated him get up and leave. He was smug about having gotten rid of a group of people, and verbally provoked the police.
"Officer, why don't you sit down for a while and let's talk. I seem to have remembered some other things now. Give me a chance to confess and I will be lenient."
Then he saw an old acquaintance being escorted into his interrogation room.
The smile on his face fell, replaced by a fierce look.
"Song Wen, I knew you would betray me sooner or later. It's all my fault for not being ruthless enough. I didn't kill you first, giving you the opportunity to reveal my base and all my sales routes."
From the content of the police's extortion, we can know how much Song Wen confessed to him.
Speaking of this matter, Song Wen also has something to say.
"Are you not cruel enough? Didn't you send someone to deal with me?"
"I regret not sending more people. I regret not killing you before you left. What kind of reward did the Z Country police offer you to betray my base? Did they promise to let you go?"
"I didn't betray your base. I don't even know where your new base is. How could I betray you?"
Pengkun was also very curious about how Songwen knew about their new base. He could only suspect Songwen, because no one except Songwen could expose him.
"If it wasn't you, how could they find me so quickly?"
"Brother Kun, you might not believe this, but they found a witch who knows witchcraft. That witch used witchcraft to find me and then you."
Peng Kun thought his statement was ridiculous: "Bullshit, what kind of witchcraft could find me in one day?"
Song Wen said seriously, "Brother Kun, don't disbelieve me. Not long after I separated from you, I was arrested by the Z Country police. Later, the witch ran to the room you stayed in and wandered around. She didn't do anything, but immediately reported your coordinates. They arrived at your residence at 4:15 in the afternoon and arrested you at 4:15."
Pengkun frowned and looked at Songwen seriously, carefully considering the steps of the police's operation.
"You can find out my exact coordinates just by walking around my room?"
If what Song Wen said is true, then it is really weird.
"Not only that, Brother Kun, guess who I saw this time?" Song Wen paused and clenched his fists. "Qu Yan."
Peng Kun was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly: "He's not dead yet? The doctors in Country Z are quite capable. They can save a useless person. I just don't know if this useless person Qu Yan wants to continue living."
Song Win: "Not only was he rescued, but his hands, feet, ears and eyes have grown back. He looks like a healthy person now."
Finally, a crack appeared on Pengkun's face.
Song Wen: "Every word I said was the truth. He came to interrogate me the day before yesterday, and I saw with my own eyes that he had grown new hands and feet."
Peng Kun showed a horrified expression.
"How is that possible!"
Song Wen's face turned pale. "This is witchcraft. If it wasn't witchcraft, how could a human pig suddenly grow hands, feet, and eyes? Brother Kun, I advise you not to go against the police anymore, or you'll suffer the consequences. I once looked at that witch a few more times, and she used witchcraft to make me get bit by poisonous insects all over my body. She also said she could make my life miserable in prison."
"She can make Qu Yan grow hands and feet, and she can definitely make us become what Qu Yan was before." The reason why Song Wen was so scared and cooperated with the police honestly was because he imagined too much and was always worried that Dai Li would do something to him.
Song Wen, who completed his mission, was taken away.
Peng Kun, who was doubting his life, was left alone in the interrogation room, and no one came to interrogate him.
Not long after, Peng Kun couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to ask to see Qu Yan.
But if he wants to see her, it won't be so easy for him to do so.
The police deliberately left him alone overnight.
He didn't sleep well that night, and Song Wen's words kept lingering in his ears.
Because he was thinking about something, he had nightmares all night. The most frightening scene was that the witch in Song Wen's mouth came to cast a spell on him, causing him and Qu Yan to switch roles. Qu Yan regained his good hands and feet, and he became a human pig who could not speak or move.
Pengkun was frightened awake in the morning and woke up covered in cold sweat.
He still wanted to see Qu Yan, and was even more urgent than yesterday.
He even promised that as long as he could meet Qu Yan, he would be willing to reveal all the clues the police wanted to know.
The police kept him in suspense and also tempered him down.
It was almost noon when Qu Yan finally arrived and strode into the interrogation room.
Peng Kun stared at him without blinking.
"I heard you wanted to see me," Qu Yan threw the transcript on the table and casually pulled out a chair to sit down. "I'm here. Now it's time to explain your business."
"How did you recover?" Peng Kun couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Qu Yan, who was tortured into a human pig by him half a year ago.
Qu Yan had already observed Peng Kun's situation on the monitor.
I have to say, supernatural powers are still somewhat useful.
Peng Kun, who had a guilty conscience, had nightmares last night and finally experienced one ten-thousandth of the pain Qu Yan had once felt.
So he would not be so kind as to help Peng Kun solve his doubts. It would be better to add some fantasy elements to make Peng Kun as scared as possible.
"Didn't you hear what Song Wen told you? We certainly have our own way. No matter how serious the injury is, we have a way to make him fully recover."
To Pengkun, this vague answer sounded like a tacit agreement.
No matter how absurd it was, he couldn't help but believe it since Qu Yan was standing in front of him alive.
Qu Yan: "Pengkun, can you tell me your story honestly now?"
Peng Kun suddenly lost his previous fighting spirit, and what was left was the look of a prodigal dog.
He rubbed his face with his hands: "If you want to know anything, ask."
Peng Kun's interrogation went very smoothly, and he was able to follow the clues to uncover several sales lines and drug trafficking lists.
All members of the task force were in such a good mood as if it were New Year's Day, and they were clamoring for a celebration party after get off work.
Needless to say, Director Liang was very happy. He waved his hand and paid for them to have a meal out of his own pocket.
As the main contributor, Dai Li was also a part of the celebration banquet.
The celebration banquet was held in a large restaurant that specializes in local specialties.
Before the meal started, Director Liang had already announced, "Order whatever you want and eat to your heart's content. You won't be allowed to leave until you've had enough."
The members of the task force were not polite to Director Liang and ordered a table full of special dishes, all of which were famous local dishes.
The dishes were served quickly, but Captain Xu from the task force was still not there.
"What's wrong with Captain Xu? Didn't he say he was going to go back and change his clothes? He left at five o'clock, but it's already 7:30 and he still hasn't arrived. Why is he taking so long to change his clothes?"
"Lao Qiu went to call him. I'll ask him about the situation when he comes back."
After a while, Lao Qiu came back, looking unhappy.
"What happened to Lao Qiu?"
"Captain Xu can't come."
"Something happened at Captain Xu's home?"
Old Qiu nodded gravely, "His wife took sleeping pills again. She just had her stomach washed in the hospital. Don't worry, she's out of danger."
The people in the task force seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing. Apart from sighing silently, they seemed unable to say anything extra.
Lao Qiu: "Captain Xu told you on the phone not to worry about his family. Today is a happy day, and everyone should eat and drink as usual. Don't let his affairs affect your mood for dinner."
Having said that, since this happened in Captain Xu's family, no one enjoyed the meal very much, and the original plan to go karaoke and have a midnight snack was also ruined. After the celebration banquet, everyone went their separate ways.
In the parking lot.
Before getting in the car, Dai Li called out to Director Liang: "Director Liang, I want to go see Captain Xu."
Her mission was over, and she would be leaving here with Wu Xuelin tomorrow. Before leaving, she still wanted to say goodbye to Captain Xu.
She had known Captain Xu for a short time, just a few days, but Captain Xu took great care of them, arranged their food and accommodation very well, and even sent someone to strictly protect their safety.
Director Liang: "I'm planning to go there too. That's perfect. You can come with me."
So, everyone got in one car and went to the hospital together.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already past ten o'clock, and Captain Xu had not eaten yet.
Wu Xuelin was very considerate and went to the roadside to order him a bowl of fried rice.
Captain Xu ate the entire meal in one go, only feeling only 70% full. He said very embarrassedly, "Thank you, Brother Wu."
After he ate a bowl of rice, his face finally had some color, but he still couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.
"I'm sorry to spoil your fun. Today was supposed to be a happy day, but you didn't eat well and didn't have fun. Teacher Dai, you have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I'm sorry to have interrupted your rest and made a special trip here."
Director Liang: "Are there any difficulties at home? If so, please tell us and we will help you solve them together."
The word "again" in Lao Qiu's name indicates that this is not the first time that Captain Xu's wife has taken sleeping pills.
Director Liang is not the leader of Captain Xu and his team, so it is naturally impossible for him to know what is happening in Captain Xu's family.
Captain Xu rubbed his face tiredly, struggling over how to start the conversation. Then he heard a cough in the ward. It was Captain Xu's wife who had woken up.
Captain Xu said "sorry" and quickly turned around and ran into the ward.
When Captain Xu’s wife woke up and saw him, she hugged him tightly and cried non-stop. She regarded him as her only support and cried heart-wrenchingly.
While crying, she suddenly started to hit Captain Xu hard, making a crackling sound on his back that was deafening throughout the ward. She didn't stop even when her own fists turned red.
Captain Xu didn't say a word throughout the whole process, just letting his wife throw a tantrum and beat him.
"Why did you save me? Wouldn't it be better to let me die? I really don't want to live without Wan Wan. What's the point of letting me live like a zombie every day? It would be better to let me die directly so that I don't have to continue living in pain every day."
"Aren't you a police officer? Aren't you supposed to catch bad guys? You've caught so many criminals, even Gou Liqiang and the drug lord. Why didn't you also arrest the human traffickers who abducted Wan Wan? Tell me, why didn't you arrest the human traffickers as well?!"
"Why does Wanwan have a father like you? You lost her in order to catch the bad guys, to make a contribution, for your honor, and for the clothes you are wearing. It is you who lost her. You lost our Wanwan..."
Captain Xu's wife roared and questioned him, and she almost choked with tears.
Captain Xu's eyes were red, and he murmured to himself with a thick nasal voice: "Wanwan will come back, she will definitely come back. She wants to see mom and dad, and none of us can be left behind. We have to wait for her at home. Wanwan loves the crispy rice potatoes you make the most. Wait for her to come back and eat the crispy rice potatoes you make for her."
After hearing this, his wife cried even harder.
After an unknown amount of time, Captain Xu’s wife was tired of crying and fell asleep in the ward.
Outside the corridor, Dai Li also roughly figured out the whole story.
Not long after, Captain Xu tiptoed out of the ward and closed the door gently.
Captain Xu's eyes were red.
Before today, it was hard to imagine that Captain Xu, who was always so brave and ruthless at work, could be so fragile.
He sat on a plastic stool in the hospital and wanted to smoke a cigarette. He took out the cigarette, but then remembered that this was a hospital and silently put the cigarette box back into his pocket.
"Director Liang, Teacher Dai, you heard it just now, right? Ever since our child Wanwan was abducted two years ago, her mother has become like this."
"Her depression has been getting worse over the past two years. When she misses her child too much, she takes sleeping pills at home. Every time she's rescued, she deeply regrets her actions and becomes extremely motivated to look for her child. The repeated disappointments along the way only exacerbate her depression."
Human trafficking is a very distressing thing. Once you miss the golden 24-hour window, it will be much more difficult to get your child back later.
Director Liang: "How did you lose your child?"
"It's all my fault." Captain Xu covered his face in pain.
That day, his wife had to go back to her parents' home for something and was unable to send the child to kindergarten, so she asked Captain Xu to take the child there.
Before leaving, I reminded him again to make sure to hand the child over to the teacher and never let the child out of his sight.
At that time, Captain Xu felt that his wife was too nagging. Couldn't he even do something as simple as sending the children to school? His wife was underestimating him too much.
He drove the child all the way to the kindergarten gate.
When I was about to take my child out of the car, I received a call from the police station saying that they had clues about the suspect and the team was rushing to arrest him.
Captain Xu rushed to catch the person in a hurry, but when he saw the kindergarten less than 50 meters away from his car, he relaxed his vigilance and let the child walk over by himself.
The child was quite happy. Before getting off the bus, he kissed Captain Xu and said goodbye to him sweetly, "Goodbye, Daddy."
Little did he know that this kiss from the child would be the last time.
At this point, Captain Xu covered his face and cried.
The first person to discover that the child was missing was the kindergarten teacher. Since the child had not been brought back, the teacher called the child's mother.
Wanwan's mother's first reaction when she received the call was anger. She thought Captain Xu had taken her child to investigate another case.
He had done this before. Whenever she had something to do and asked Captain Xu to take care of the child alone, he would take the child to the crime scene as soon as he received a call from the bureau.
Wanwan's mother thought that Captain Xu would never do such a thing again after her child went to kindergarten.
But he didn't send his child to kindergarten.
Wanwan's mother was furious and immediately called Captain Xu to scold him.
As luck would have it, Captain Xu's cell phone was left in the car and he didn't receive the call.
When they returned home late at night after finishing the case and did not see their daughter, the couple realized that their daughter was missing.
Captain Xu's mind went blank, his vision went dark, and his ears were buzzing.
When Wanwan's mother heard the devastating news, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
The two of them returned to the bureau overnight.
But at this time, more than ten hours had passed since Wanwan disappeared, and the golden 24 hours were about to pass.
Captain Xu blamed himself deeply, crying and confessing: "If I had taken the child to school, he wouldn't have disappeared. The school was only ten meters away from my car at the time. It only took me a few minutes to go there and back. But I didn't get out of the car. I was busy with my work and my case. The child's mother is right. I am an irresponsible father. I am sorry to Wanwan. I caught so many bad guys, but I couldn't catch the traffickers who abducted our child."
Director Liang sighed heavily.
Director Liang has seen many cases of human trafficking, but human trafficking is also the most powerless case.
There are no clues, no ideas. The country is so big and there are so many people. Very few people can be found. Most of them are separated for life. Even if they are found after many years, the lost family time cannot be made up, and there will be unclear family and ethical relationships.
Captain Xu is just a microcosm of one family. Looking across the country, there are countless families who are immersed in pain all day long because of human trafficking. In order to find their children and relatives, they spend all their wealth and travel all over the country.
How helpless and pitiful they are.
Just hearing the cries of Captain Xu and his wife was heartbreaking enough.
In places they can't see, how many families are breaking down and crying because of the disappearance of their loved ones.
Dai Li thought for a moment, then suddenly solemnly called Director Liang, "Director Liang, there are so many cases of human trafficking in China. I think it is very necessary to build a national odor information network."
Director Liang's eyebrows jumped. "You mean using scent to find missing people?"
Captain Xu, who had been crying bitterly, also raised his head and listened to Dai Li carefully.
Dai Li nodded: "If we build a nationwide odor information network, we can not only use it to find missing people, but also criminal suspects will be nowhere to hide."
Both Director Liang and Captain Xu showed great interest in her proposal.
"Building a scent information network has another benefit," Dai Li paused, glanced at them separately, and smiled, "We can also search for contraband in the city. These days, contraband comes in all sorts of disguises. If we can find contraband through the scent information network, we can destroy it before it harms society, giving the public a green and healthy society. Addictions can also be sent to rehabilitation centers."
Director Liang and Captain Xu both opened their eyes wide, excited about her plan.
Director Liang suppressed his excitement and asked, "Is your idea feasible?"
Dai Li smiled confidently and said, "Of course, it's a piece of cake for me."
