Chapter 743 Cui Hongfei
In the alleys at night, neon lights flash, most of which are barber shops and massage parlors. The names are different, but the only thing in common is that they all have ambiguous red lights on.
There were some young girls standing at the door of the store, wearing clothes popular in Hong Kong, such as off-shoulder suspenders, denim tight skirts, black stockings, and rose-red high heels... They were half leaning against the door of the store, with cigarettes dangling from their red lips, and their ambiguous eyes swept over every man who walked into the alley.
Cheng Gang is a policeman, and a policeman specializing in criminal investigation cases. He is very familiar with this kind of place.
Seeing Jiang Chen about to get out of the car, he grabbed him and said, "You want to go in?"
Jiang Chen said "hmm".
Cheng Gang's scalp veins throbbed, and he reminded him, "Jiang Chen, I'm a policeman."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen understood. He sneered, "You come in with me too."
After saying that, he pushed the door and got out of the car.
Seeing that the man was about to walk away, Cheng Gang gritted his teeth, opened the door and chased after him.
He couldn't bear to watch Jiang Chen make mistakes, so he would torture him if necessary.
"Bang!" The car door was slammed shut hastily.
The two people who were sleeping in the back seat of the car were awakened and looked at Xi Zhou blankly.
Gao Ming wiped the saliva from his mouth: "Are we there yet?"
Meng Guan pushed up his glasses and looked outside dazedly: "We should be here."
"Finally, we're here." Gao Ming stretched lazily. Seeing no one in the front row, he wondered, "Where are Brother Jiang and the others?"
"He must have gone out to do something." Meng Guankun felt dizzy.
Two big men squeezed in the back seat, their arms and legs tucked up, sleeping extremely uncomfortably. He rubbed his sore shoulders and neck, pushed open the car door, got out and stretched.
A cool breeze blew, and Meng Guan sobered up a little. He looked at the alley in front of him and squinted his eyes slightly: "Where is this place?"
Gao Ming was a scoundrel, very familiar with these low-class things. He put his arm on the roof of the car and said jokingly, "Brother Meng, you have never been to a place like this?"
Meng Guan refused to show his weakness: "Who said I haven't been here before?"
He bravely stepped in to look for someone.
Gao Ming quickly caught up with him, smiling maliciously: "Brother Meng, please take me to see the world."
The two of them also entered the alley one after another.
The alley is remote and has fallen into disrepair. Rats are scurrying around, abandoned water pipes are dripping with water, and the road is dotted with muddy puddles, reflecting an ambiguous red light.
The leather shoes stepped through the puddle, stirring up a pool of muddy water.
Jiang Chen was tall, handsome and sinister. When he walked into the red light district, he attracted the attention of many women, but he gave people a very dangerous feeling and no one came forward to talk to him.
On the contrary, Cheng Gang, who looked honest and simple, was given an exceptionally warm welcome as soon as he entered.
The women pounced on him like butterflies, attacking Cheng Gang from head to toe, but they were more concerned about Jiang Chen.
"Brother, are you guys with that little brother?"
"Come to my place." The woman leaned close to Cheng Gang's ear, the pungent smell of perfume approaching: "I won't charge you any money."
The young girl wore heavy makeup, tried her best, and her voice was ambiguous and seductive.
Cheng Gang was like a holy monk who had strayed into the Land of Daughters. He raised his hands high, as if afraid of touching some body part he shouldn't touch. The veins on his forehead throbbed violently as he shouted, "Stay away from me!"
"You, that's you, take your hands out of my trouser pockets!"
"And you, lesbian, your lipstick got on my clothes."
…
When Cheng Gang finally got rid of the entanglement and caught up with Jiang Chen, his clothes were messy, there were obvious lip marks on his face, and the strong smell of perfume was choking.
Jiang Chen frowned and said in a cold tone, "Stay away from me."
Cheng Gang was so angry at being despised by Jiang Chen that he almost jumped up and down: "Who made me like this?"
"Just wait, I'll go back and complain to Ye Rou."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyelids, his eyes cold.
Cheng Gang was speechless for a moment and dared not shout anymore.
She followed Jiang Chen further into the alley. Seeing that Jiang Chen showed no sign of stopping, she couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Chen, come on..."
Jiang Chen stopped and said, "We're here."
Cheng Gang stopped and looked up. The words surrounded by neon lights were "Hao Mei Massage Parlor".
Jiang Chen strode in. Seeing him really go in, Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and followed him in.
This massage parlor didn't have any ambiguous red lights on, but the lighting inside wasn't bright either. The dim light made it look particularly depressing.
The woman guarding the door saw the two of them and greeted them with a smile: "Sorry, brothers, we are closed today."
Jiang Chen said calmly, "I'm looking for Cui Hongfei."
When the woman heard this, her slightly awkward smile suddenly became natural, and her brows relaxed: "You are the friend Hongfei mentioned, right? He is waiting for you upstairs."
The woman led the two upstairs.
The light upstairs was even darker. The small rooms were dark and their doors were half-open, like the open mouth of a giant beast.
After walking through the small rooms, they reached the end of the corridor. The woman stopped and knocked on the door: "Hongfei, your friend is here."
The sound of cheerful footsteps rang out, and the door was suddenly opened from the inside, revealing a face that Cheng Gang was particularly familiar with.
"Monkey?!" Cheng Gang was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Brother Cheng, you're here too." Monkey pushed open the door and motioned for the two to come in.
As soon as the door closed, Cheng Gang couldn't wait any longer and asked hurriedly, "Why did you come to Jinshi? Last time we met in Changjia Village, I thought you went back to your hometown."
It was the monkey who sold himself to the casino in Dahe Village in order to find his sister. After being rescued by Jiang Chen and others, he was tricked by Wang Mazi into letting him go, and almost got into big trouble.
In order to find his sister, he willingly became an undercover agent, maintaining a single line of contact with Cheng Gang, and finally successfully cooperated with the police to take down Changjia Village.
After the incident in Changjia Village, Jiang Chen had the monkey taken away, and Cheng Gang never heard from him again.
I thought Monkey had given up looking for his sister and returned home, but I never expected to meet her again in Jinshi.
Cheng Gang was overjoyed to see his old friend again. He looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you've grown stronger and taller."
Monkey's father was a gambler. He would gamble away any money the family had. Monkey and his sister were hungry all day long and suffered from long-term malnutrition. Their hair turned yellow and they became skinny. That's why he was called Monkey.
Not only is he stronger now, but he also has muscles in his arms when you pinch them. Although he can't compare with Cheng Gang, he has muscles after all, and he is not as skinny as before.
Monkey scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "When I first came to Jinshi, I went to the dock to carry goods for a few days."
Cheng Gang looked at him, then at Jiang Chen, "What's going on? Can one of you explain it to me?"
The monkey took the initiative and said, "Let me tell you."
He was always looking for his sister. He couldn't find her in Wang Mazi Village in Changdu Town or Changjia Village in Jing City...
At one point the monkey wanted to give up.
When Jiang Chen first arrived at Changjia Village, he discovered from the account book that in addition to selling people to the mountainous areas, they also made a regular trip to Jinshi every month.
The account book reads: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in Jinshi, 3,000 yuan was received.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in Jinshi, 4,200 yuan was received.
…
Other payments were recorded as follows: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in a certain mountainous area, two milk candies were deposited for 600 yuan (human traffickers used milk candies to refer to young girls).
In comparison, the huge amount of money in Jinshi that was not clearly marked was particularly strange.
Wang Mazi also sells people abroad, so his route is actually from the southwest to the border area.
The same is true for Changjia Village, considering that Jinshi is close to the sea and has a large number of ports.
Jiang Chen immediately guessed that they might be using the ship to smuggle people.
Monkey came to Jinshi without hesitation in order to find his sister. Some time ago, he finally found some clues.
Cheng Gang finally got wise for once: "Li Rui not only smuggled cultural relics, he's also suspected of human trafficking?!"
