Chapter 281 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
"Including Zhuzhu, there should be six children and four young women." Ye Rou said, looking at the young policeman who came in to report, "Is that right?"
The young policeman shook his head and said grimly, "Six children and five women."
"That's right." Ye Rou said, "There's another woman."
Jiang Weiguo didn't understand what he heard.
"What woman?"
Ye Rou: "When Guo Yang and I just went in, I heard Shou Hou calling a woman Sister Hong."
Jiang Weiguo was shocked. "Are you saying that a woman among this group of human traffickers pretended to be a victim of trafficking and ran away?!"
Ye Rou nodded.
Last night she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she thought that with police guarding the two entrances and exits, the traffickers should not be able to escape. Unexpectedly, there was actually a human trafficker who slipped through the net.
Jiang Chen stared at the skinny guy in the interrogation room and suddenly said, "This guy didn't hear you mention Sister Hong and knew she had escaped, so he refused to confess."
Jiang Weiguo sighed in frustration.
Cheng Gang understood and immediately said, "Director, I'll take people to chase them."
"Go quickly." Jiang Weiguo thought to himself that he was really embarrassed this time. The sister Hong who ran away was the leader of this group of human traffickers. She spent so much effort to cast the net, but in the end, she let the biggest and most expensive fish escape.
Seeing him frustrated, Jiang Chen said coldly, "Everyone has run away. What's the point of regretting now? If you keep an eye on this guy, you can squeeze out some information."
Jiang Weiguo shook his head, "No, this guy is too stubborn."
Jiang Chen laughed: "Don't you already know Sister Hong? Use her to blow this guy up."
Jiang Weiguo's eyes lit up slightly.
He immediately gathered together all the police officers who had seen the victim yesterday and asked them to think hard about Sister Hong's characteristics.
The police were confused for a moment, and Ye Rou reminded them, "Don't worry about the children. I remember the four girls who were abducted. They were slender, fair-skinned, frail, and had delicate features. Is there anyone who doesn't fit this description?"
"There is one!" a policeman suddenly said, "There is a woman who is more mature."
As one person spoke, the others gradually remembered.
"She's not very pretty, she's quite ordinary, but her skin is very white."
"The woman was in another room holding a child named Zhuzhu. When we found her, she was terrified and cowering. She said Zhuzhu kept crying, so the traffickers brought her out to look after the child."
Jiang Weiguo glared at the police officer who spoke, "Why didn't you report this situation at the time?"
The policeman lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Chief. I think she looks kind and is a woman. I..."
Jiang Weiguo sighed, glanced around at the people, and said in a deep voice, "Anyone else?"
"By the way, that woman's voice is very hoarse, as if it was smoked by cigarettes. When she speaks loudly, it is very unpleasant to hear."
Jiang Weiguo nodded.
At this moment, Cheng Gang, who had led people out to chase, came back. As soon as he came in, he shook his head at Jiang Weiguo.
"The man ran away. The family members who came said it was her brother. The two disappeared as soon as they left the police station."
Jiang Weiguo frowned and said, "The person who picked her up might be a human trafficker."
After Cheng Gang finished speaking, he called the young policeman who had brought him out to the front.
"What does the man who picked her up look like and what is his name?"
The young police officer immediately said, "The man was timid and didn't dare to look up when he entered the police station. He spoke very quietly when I asked him his name. I asked him his name, and he subconsciously said his name was Lai Zi, but then he quickly changed it to Zhao An."
"Fuck!" Jiang Weiguo was immediately furious when he heard the name. "The skinny guy is called Zhao An. These guys are too arrogant!"
Seeing the director getting angry, a group of people lowered their heads.
Jiang Weiguo scolded him harshly, and the more he thought about it, the more suffocated he became.
"The human traffickers left the police station so brazenly that all my bonuses for this month will be deducted!"
Suddenly, a voice lowered its voice and complained, "It's not our fault. The person who was in charge of investigating the situation didn't say there was a woman inside."
Jiang Weiguo: "Who said that? Get out!"
The group of people didn't move. Cheng Gang snorted coldly, strode over, grabbed one of them by the neck and pulled him out.
The policeman who was dragged out was tall and strong. He pursed his lips and looked very unconvinced.
"Shao Bei." Jiang Weiguo: "What are you dissatisfied with? Just say it directly. What kind of man is it to say small talk?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Bei immediately shouted, "Comrades Ye Rou and Guo Yang were responsible for investigating the situation. They never returned, which affected our subsequent plans. They didn't inform the traffickers of the internal situation in time, which led to us letting this big fish get away. I don't think it's our fault."
Ye Rou was stared at by him and looked back at him frankly.
Jiang Chen frowned and blocked his wife's way, staring at Shao Bei with his brows slightly lowered, his eyes deep and sinister.
Shao Bei only held his gaze for a moment before quickly looking away, a chill spreading behind him.
What does this guy do? Why does he look so scary?
Jiang Chen sneered, hugged his wife, and said in a very cold voice: "Jiang Weiguo, is my wife a police officer in your police station?"
Jiang Weiguo groaned inwardly, it was all over.
These bastards are really causing him trouble.
He shook his head with a grimace, "No."
Jiang Chen's dark pupils were filled with hostility, and his voice was deep.
"If she hadn't been there yesterday, could you have found the human traffickers' den? The police officer you sent in impulsively alerted the traffickers, preventing my wife from evacuating in time and putting her in danger. Did that officer apologize to my wife? She helped you arrest so many people yesterday. Did your police department say anything?"
A series of words, each one colder than the last, made everyone who was asked lower their heads in shame.
Only Shao Bei was still unconvinced and wanted to say something.
Jiang Chen walked up to Shao Bei. He was already tall, and his military training had given him explosive muscles. When his face darkened, a fierce expression on his gloomy, handsome face was revealed, the intimidation was almost suffocating.
He looked down at Shao Bei coldly.
Jiang Chen's gaze was cold and sharp, like a sharp knife scraping against his skin and flesh, burning him all over.
Shao Bei was trembling in his heart.
Jiang Chen sarcastically said, "You accepted my wife's request, and you're blaming her for not being more thorough. Anyone who says that must have such a thick skin that even a bullet can't penetrate, right?"
Shao Bei lowered his head, being scolded like a grandson, without a word of rebuttal.
"Good scolding," Jiang Weiguo said with a cold, square face. "You made a mistake but didn't reflect on it. Your first thought was to blame others. Today's incident is a lesson for me. I will reflect on it, and you should all reflect on it too. This month's bonus will be deducted, and each of you must write a 5,000-word self-criticism for me."
No one objected this time.
After Jiang Weiguo finished his lecture, he turned to Ye Rou and said softly, "I have already applied for a bonus and a letter of commendation from higher-ups. I would like to thank Comrade Ye Rou, a caring citizen, for her important assistance to our police work."
Ye Rou nodded perfunctorily, staring at Jiang Chen with sparkling fox eyes.
When Jiang Chen turned around and saw his wife like this, he thought she was cute again.
How can you not get angry when someone scolds you?
He reached out and ruffled Ye Rou's hair hard, his tone helpless.
"What are you laughing at so foolishly?"
Ye Rou's hair was all messed up by the static electricity from being rubbed, and she finally got angry.
The specific manifestation was a slightly higher voice: "Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen had no choice but to take the responsibility of comforting someone who had made him angry.
Jiang Chen and Ye Rou did not pay attention to the subsequent events. It would be best if Jiang Weiguo could pry open the skinny monkey's mouth. If he couldn't, it had nothing to do with them.
Three days later, Jiang Weiguo brought Cheng Gang to visit and discuss the follow-up.
They used Sister Hong, who had not escaped, to be caught and pried open the skinny monkey's mouth.
According to his account, Sister Hong would pretend to be a nanny to gain the trust of families with children. After collecting enough information, she would let Shouhou and others kidnap the children.
The skinny monkey also confessed the truth about a person, the Qu family.
Quzhi was not directly involved in the child trafficking, but they entered and exited Beijing through Quzhi's connections, and he would be given a large sum of money as dividends every year.
According to Shouhou, they had a brother named Lai Zi, who was not arrested with them because he went to see his lover and did not come back with them.
The one who took Sister Hong away must be this Lai Zi.
He also mentioned several places where Sister Hong and Lai Zi might go. The police have already deployed police forces and will definitely catch them as long as they are still in Jingshi.
As for Zhao Wan, according to Shouhou's confession, she was sent here by Quzhi, and they didn't know her origins, but Zhao Wan was also involved in child trafficking.
Having said that, Jiang Weiguo was silent for a moment, his face looking a little ugly.
He wiped his face and continued, "We later interrogated Zhao Wan and found out how she hid a knife."
"Zhao Wan said she hid the knife in order to escape, but changed her mind after seeing Ye Rou, and then she suddenly wanted to stab Ye Rou with the knife. She also said that Guo Yang saw her hiding the knife."
Jiang Chen understood the key point and his face turned cold: "The result of your police station's handling."
Jiang Weiguo said directly: "He made a mistake, our police station will not protect him, and he is no longer a police officer now."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly.
Jiang Weiguo continued, "We've been keeping an eye on the Qu family recently. According to Shou Hou, Qu Zhi wants to harm Ye Rou."
