Chapter 596 Changjia Village
"Popsicles, 1 cent each! Ice cream, 2 cents each!"
"Big milk ice cream, green bean and red bean popsicles, not cold or sweet, free of charge!"
The thin man was riding a bicycle with a large wooden box fixed on the back seat. The box was covered with a thick quilt. He was riding while ringing the bicycle bell.
"Ding-ling-ling, popsicles and ice cream!"
Seeing that no one came out of the village, the thin young man selling popsicles rode his bicycle and wanted to go inside to greet people.
“Stop, stop!”
Suddenly, two sturdy men with dark faces jumped out, held the handlebars of the bicycle and blocked the way.
The young man was caught off guard and almost lost his balance on his bicycle and fell off.
"What are you doing?" The young man stopped working and started shouting.
"My bicycle is so expensive. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"
The two dark-faced men said coldly, "Outsiders are not allowed in the village. Get out of here!"
"Then I won't go in and just sell popsicles here!" the young man shouted in a naughty manner.
"No, no outsiders are allowed to stay near the village."
"Why are the people in your village so domineering!" The young man became even more dissatisfied when he heard this and insisted on selling popsicles here.
The two dark-faced men exchanged glances, then turned to stare at the young man. They rolled up their sleeves, revealing their muscular arms, and threatened in a deep voice, "Are you leaving or not?"
Seeing this, the young man's voice trailed off and he said politely, "Don't be angry, brothers. Don't get a heat stroke in the middle of summer. I have some mung bean popsicles here. I'll give you two for free."
"Stop talking nonsense and get out!" The two men refused to listen and just urged the young man to get out.
The young man felt humiliated, but was afraid of being beaten. He got on his bicycle muttering, "Let's go, why are you yelling?"
He took one last look at the village, then took a long stride, got on his bike and left.
Still worried after seeing him leave, the two dark-faced, strong men followed him for a long time. Only when they saw that he had really left did they let him go.
——
After a while, Wang Honghong, carrying the bicycle, turned into the woods, sweating profusely. Meng Guan jumped out from the pit where he was temporarily hiding and took the bicycle.
Wang Honghong wiped the sweat off her forehead and shook her head, "No, I can't get in."
"Tnnd, the people in this village are too vigilant."
"It's really weird. In such a shabby village, there's nothing they dare not let people see. Even the popsicle sellers won't let anyone get close."
Wang Honghong blew on her hot head, lifted the quilt on the wooden box, took out a mung bean popsicle, tore open the cardboard, and breathed in the cool air.
He couldn't wait to take a big bite, suppress his anger, and then stopped muttering and complaining.
"Brother Jiang, I don't know what's going on in the village. What should we do next?"
Jiang Chen leaned against the slope with his arms folded, his head stretched out from his overly long legs, "Wait."
After waiting for three hours, a group of people sneaked into the woods.
Gao Ming was the first to hear the noise and woke up the drowsy Wang Honghong and Meng Guan, saying, "Someone is coming up."
He was about to go see Brother Jiang, but he saw Brother Jiang with his eyes open, waving at him.
Gao Ming felt a lot less worried.
The person who came up was none other than Cheng Gang.
He was promoted together with Jiang Weiguo from Changdu Town, and later he was in charge of human trafficking cases.
Following the clues of Wang Meng who was captured in Dahe Village, they found the person who secretly sold drugs in the military region. Later, with the help of Ye Rou, they cracked a major kidnapping and trafficking case. They then captured Sister Hong who disguised herself as a victim and escaped, and Jia Zheng, the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau who sheltered Sister Hong.
Following this clue, they traced back to the Qu family and completely broke up this trafficking ring.
But as long as there are buyers, there will be sellers, and there are endless human traffickers.
Cheng Gang applied to the anti-trafficking task force to investigate a trafficking case in Beijing.
"Officer Cheng, long time no see." Wang Honghong distributed the popsicles in the wooden box to the police officers brought by Cheng Gang. The first person she gave it to was a short young man, and she looked surprised.
"Are you also a police officer?"
The short man raised his head, revealing his yellowish hair, and smiled: "I'm not a police officer."
Wang Honghong was wondering why Cheng Gang was brought here if he was not a police officer.
Meng Guan on the side tilted his head and stared at the short man, feeling inexplicably that he looked familiar.
He stared at the dwarf's face intently, and unexpectedly dug out a person from the depths of his memory. He said in surprise, "You are a monkey!"
The short guy, a monkey, nodded.
"Brother Meng, it's me."
Wang Honghong looked at Meng Guan blankly, "Do you know this person?"
He returned to Dahe Village later and knew nothing about these things.
Meng Guan explained, "Wang Meng ran an underground gambling den in Changdu Town. Anyone who lost money there and couldn't pay it back would be forced to take someone else's money. Men were sold to illegal mines to work as miners, women were smuggled to red-light districts along the coast, and children were sold."
Wang Honghong had heard Zhou Liang brag about this countless times.
"I know about this. In the end, Wang Meng and the public security officer who protected him, Yu Chengping, were dealt with by Brother Jiang and his sister-in-law."
"This guy was one of the people who were abducted. In other words, he deliberately sold himself to Wang Meng in order to find his sister who was also abducted."
Meng Guan scratched his head embarrassedly when he said this. "I was deceived by Wang Meng at that time. I really thought he could help me find my sister. I secretly let him go and caused trouble for Brother Jiang. Now I think about it, my brain was really kicked by a donkey and I couldn't think straight."
"Alright, that's the past. There's no point in bringing it up." Meng Guan patted his shoulder and asked curiously, "Why did you come to Jing City? Aren't you looking for your sister?"
"Hehe." Monkey explained, "After that, I decided to redeem myself from my crime and became Brother Cheng's informant, helping him investigate some things."
At this point, Monkey pointed to a village not far away and whispered, "According to investigations, this village is also involved in human trafficking."
"Changjia Village?" Meng Guan and Wang Honghong looked at each other, and when they saw Cheng Gang who was discussing with Brother Jiang, they understood.
No wonder Cheng Gang came.
Monkey continued, "This village is in a secluded location. According to the clues we have, it's the final destination for human traffickers to transfer people."
Wang Honghong raised her eyebrows. She had only had doubts at first, but now after hearing what Monkey said, it was confirmed.
But this is troublesome.
There must be guns in this village. It won’t be easy to catch Chang Long.
The most crucial thing is that the people in this village are too vigilant and have no idea of the situation inside. If they act rashly and a fight breaks out, there will definitely be casualties.
This is not going to be easy.
It would be nice if there was an insider in the village.
Cheng Gang on the side looked at Jiang Chen with surprise.
Although Jiang Chen had been training with the army for a while, he was still a lazy person at heart. He leaned against a tree, which made his already long legs look even longer.
"What are you looking at?"
Although Cheng Gang had an impatient attitude, he did not find it strange.
Jiang Chen would only pretend to be a human and speak human words in front of Ye Rou.
Cheng Gang: "What are you doing here?"
The affairs of Changjia Village have nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
He was investigating and arresting people in person, his diligence was a bit weird.
Forget about doing justice for the heavens. To make Cheng Gang believe that Jiang Chen has good intentions to meddle in other people's affairs, it would be better to make him believe that a rooster can lay eggs.
Jiang Chen raised his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "There's someone my wife wants in there."
"That's what I thought." Cheng Gang believed it immediately.
That’s right, the only person in this world who can order Jiang Chen around is Ye Rou.
