Monday, September 18, 2023.
Today is the day when Yang Xiaolong's family of five return to their ancestral home. The entire Yangjia Village is filled with the beating of drums and gongs, and the sound of firecrackers. The scene is extremely lively, and all the relatives and friends of the Yang family are present.
Jiang Feng, as the biggest contributor, was naturally among them.
After completing the process of recognizing their ancestors and enjoying the buffet, the guests gradually left.
At this time, in the ancestral house of the Yang family, Yang Zhengke took out a Mercedes-Benz key, handed it to Jiang Feng and said, "Master Jiang, you are really grateful to our Yang family. This is a small gift from us. I hope you don't despise it."
Jiang Feng was polite for a while before accepting it, and then took the initiative to mention: "Uncle Yang, we were busy holding the ancestral recognition ceremony for Brother Yang and had no time to take care of other things. Now that the ceremony is over, it's time to deal with that damn human trafficker."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhengke said murderously: "Master Jiang is right, it's time to settle accounts with that hateful woman."
Qin Xueqin was already extremely convinced of Jiang Feng's ability. When she heard him mention this matter, she couldn't help but cheer up: "Master Jiang, we will listen to you on what to do."
Yang Xiaolong's eyes were also full of anticipation. When it came to hatred for the human trafficker, he, the person involved, was naturally ranked first without a doubt. After all, he had lived in the trafficker's home for a year, and he still felt scared when he thought about the abuse he had suffered.
Wei's father and mother were also present, and Wei Xuefeng was worried about his wife who was about to give birth, so he went home to be with her.
Jiang Feng looked at Yang Xiaolong and said, "Brother Yang, try your best to recall and provide as much information as possible about the trafficker. Don't miss any clues. Tell me whatever comes to your mind. I will combine all the information and make inferences. The success rate will be higher."
Yang Xiaolong nodded and said, "When I heard Cantonese songs before, I found them vaguely familiar, and I learned Cantonese very quickly. At that time, I just thought I had a talent for languages and didn't think much about it.
It was not until now that I realized that I am originally from Guangdong Province and spoke Cantonese when I was a child.
I remember that when I was at that woman's house, I could understand what they said. If I'm not mistaken, they were speaking Cantonese. That woman was most likely from Guangdong Province."
"This is a very important clue. It can narrow the scope of the calculation from the whole country to Guangdong Province." Jiang Feng praised first, and then encouraged: "Brother Yang, think about it again and see if there are any other important clues."
Yang Xiaolong said: "Also, she had a lame husband who walked with one leg higher than the other. I was particularly impressed."
Jiang Feng said: "This news is even more important. With these two key clues, our hope of finding the other party is even greater."
Yang Xiaolong sighed and said, "Besides that, I don't remember much else, because I was locked up in her house at that time and had no chance to go out. I am quite familiar with her house, but this is of no use at all."
Jiang Feng said, "Brother Yang, don't sigh. With the two clues you provided and my calculations, we can already lock down a rough range. Then we can call the police and use the power of the country to investigate. With such obvious characteristics, I believe that woman will not be able to escape."
Qin Xueqin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked, "Master Jiang, when should we call the police?"
Jiang Feng said, "Well, Brother Yang, try to describe the woman's appearance as much as possible. Don't mention the parts you can't remember clearly. Just describe the parts you remember. I will make some calculations after you listen to me and see if I can narrow it down to a county."
Yang Xiaolong responded. Although twenty-seven years had passed, the impression that woman had left on him was too deep. Even though he couldn't remember the woman's face clearly, he still remembered some key features.
So, Yang Xiaolong described the woman's appearance bit by bit according to his memory. When he had described everything he remembered, he said, "After all, it has been 27 years. These are all I remember. Besides, after so many years, she must not look like this anymore."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. These are enough. I'll do some calculations first and see what the result is."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Feng lowered his head and counted on his fingers. He had experienced such scenes many times and he could pretend to be very conscientious. After about two or three minutes, he raised his head.
Qin Xueqin asked expectantly: "Master Jiang, what is the result of the calculation?"
Jiang Feng said: "The result was quite smooth."
Yang Zhengke asked, "Master Jiang, where is that vicious woman from?"
Jiang Feng said: "It's far away, but it's right in front of us. That woman is not from another place, but from Xu County next door."
"Xu County?"
Father Wei, who had been listening without saying anything, could not help but answer, "I have some connections with Director Chen of the Xu County Public Security Bureau. I'll give him a call and tell him about this. I'll ask him to send someone to investigate. I'm sure there will be news soon."
"Then I'll trouble you, brother-in-law!"
"We are all family, you're welcome."
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
XX Hotel, Nanshan Town, Xu County.
A man and a woman are on a blind date. The man has dark skin, is short, and has an ordinary appearance. His age is a complete mystery. He could be 30 or 40.
The woman had fair skin, was also not tall, had an average appearance, and was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
In addition to the male and female protagonists on the blind date, there were three other people at the same table, two of whom were the male protagonist's parents and one was a matchmaker.
When they were almost done eating, Wang Po, the matchmaker, wiped her mouth and said to the blind date heroine, "Lili, when you came here, didn't you say you had a package to pick up? Go get your package first, and then come over."
Lili nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, I'll be leaving now."
The protagonist's honest parents said yes repeatedly and watched Lili leave the hotel.
After Lili left, the sixty-something Wang Po looked at the male protagonist's family of three and said, "Brother Chen and Sister Chen, you all saw what this girl is like. Her skin is so good, so white and tender. She looks like a girl from the city. She is definitely worthy of your Ah Sheng."
Father Chen smiled innocently, "This girl is quite good."
Mother Chen said worriedly, "Po Wang, this girl is really good. If my Ah Sheng can marry her, it will be a blessing for our Chen family. But our family is not well off, and my Ah Sheng looks ordinary. I'm afraid the girl may not like him!"
Wang Po smiled and said, "It all depends on your performance. When we give you red envelopes after the show, remember to be generous and don't be stingy. I will say a few good words to you then, and there should still be a chance."
Mother Chen asked, "Po Wang, how much is the right amount for this red envelope?"
Wang Po took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Over the years, I have arranged hundreds of blind dates, if not a thousand, and I have summed up a set of experience. Let's put aside the ones that the man doesn't like, and say the man likes the woman, if the two are well-matched, then the meeting fee is about one thousand.
If the woman is better than the man and the man wants to impress her, the meeting money should start at at least two thousand. The more he gives, the more sincerity he shows and how much he values the woman.
Anyway, you guys can decide the right thing to do here. All I can do is speak well of Ah Sheng."
Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, and then looked at their son Asheng together.
Although Ah Sheng was tanned, being tanned did not affect his IQ. When he saw the looks in his parents' eyes, he understood what they meant and quickly said, "Dad, Mom, I think Lili is pretty good. I like her very much."
Upon hearing this, Father Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a red envelope of 2,280. I hope you can help me put in a few good words. If this marriage is successful, I'll give you another 5,000 as a matchmaking fee."
Wang Po smiled and said, "No problem, leave it to me."
The red envelopes were prepared here, and not long after, Miss Lili came back with a package. She sat down and drank two cups of tea. After a few awkward chats, Miss Lili made an excuse to leave.
Father Chen immediately took out the thick red envelope he had just prepared, handed it over and said, "Miss Lili, this is a little gift from your uncle and aunt. Keep it and come to our house to play when you have time."
Estimating the thickness of the red envelope, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the depths of Miss Lili's eyes that was imperceptible to outsiders, but on the surface she would definitely refuse it again and again. She was already quite skilled at this.
Just as Miss Lili was about to take the red envelope, several policemen suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Don't move."
This sudden scene shocked everyone present.
The three members of the Chen family were all honest people. Even though they had not committed any crime, they could not help but tremble when they saw the police rushing in. Miss Lili, who had something to hide, was even more frightened and turned pale. The only one who remained calm was Wang Po.
Chen's father immediately raised the red envelope in his hand and said tremblingly: "Comrade police, I didn't do anything illegal. I just accompanied my son on a blind date and gave the girl a red envelope."
"It's none of your business."
One of the middle-aged policemen said something to Chen's father, then looked at Grandma Wang and said, "Wang Jinlan, you are under arrest!"
Wang Po said calmly, "Police comrade, did you arrest the wrong person? What law have I violated?"
The middle-aged policeman sneered, "Wang Jinlan, don't you know what law you have violated?"
While the middle-aged policeman was speaking, the other two policemen grabbed Wang Po's hands, one on the left and one on the right, and handcuffed her with a click.
Wang Po shouted, "Comrade police, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. I have helped to match people up and brought many couples together over the years. This is a great deed. Why are you arresting me?"
The middle-aged policeman snorted coldly and said, "Wang Jinlan, it seems that you will never give up until you reach the Yellow River. How have you been acting as a matchmaker all these years? You think we can't find out, right?
Not to mention the distant past, just recently, how much money have you defrauded through your cooperation with Zhang Lili through blind dates?
Of course, these are just incidental and not important. We arrested you for child trafficking."
When listening to the middle-aged policeman's story, Wang Po remained extremely calm.
After all, the red envelopes received by matchmakers were given voluntarily by the clients. Although she had contributed to this by instigating the situation, this was a borderline case of skirting the law and would not be a big problem if it was really investigated, so she was very calm.
But when the middle-aged policeman mentioned the charges for her arrest, her expression finally changed.
Zhang Lili was already scared when she saw the police, and she was even more shocked when she heard the charges for arresting Wang Po. She burst into tears on the spot: "Comrade police, I didn't abduct children. I just worked with her to cheat her for some red envelopes for blind dates. I really didn't abduct children. Please don't arrest me. I already know I'm wrong!"
The three members of the Chen family were stunned. Only now did they realize that this blind date was fake. It was Wang Po, the matchmaker, and Lili who colluded to defraud the blind date red envelope?
Father Chen looked at the red envelope still in his hand with a look of relief.
The commotion here had not alarmed the restaurant owner and waiters, but they were just watching from afar. When they heard the police talk about Wang Po's matchmaking deeds and crimes, they all became nervous.
When it comes to crimes that Chinese people hate, human traffickers are definitely at the top of the list.
Unfortunately, the country's sentencing for human traffickers is too light. Take Chen Moulian, who is known as China's number one human trafficker. This 60-year-old lady trafficked 46 children in two years, causing the deaths of two of them. After being arrested, she was only sentenced to ten years and one month, and fined 3,000 yuan.
Not only that, after Chen Moulian was imprisoned in 2010, in November 2013, Chen Moulian showed repentance in prison and her sentence was reduced by one year and six months. Then in September 2016, Chen Moulian was released on parole and returned home because of her good behavior!
Seeing such news, Chinese people are so angry that they beat their chests and their blood pressure continues to soar.
In particular, I saw a news report that a man illegally hunted and killed 8 red-bellied tragopans, 3 gorals, and 1 serow, which was a particularly serious case. According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, the man was convicted of illegal hunting and killing of precious and endangered wild animals and illegal possession of firearms, and was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of 30,000 yuan.
Comparing the two, I can only laugh!
It is precisely because the country is too lenient in sentencing human traffickers that the degree of rampant human traffickers is beyond people's imagination. They can even snatch children in broad daylight in front of the children's parents or grandparents.
These human traffickers usually cry "catch thieves" and have a clear division of labor. One group will punch and kick the children's parents or grandparents and shout "catch the human traffickers", while another group of women will hold the children and quickly get into the car and leave.
There are even more rampant ones, where they break into the house and snatch the child away in front of the parents. It's hard to believe even to talk about it.
This is something that happened in recent years. If the timeline goes back to the 1980s and 1990s, the rampant human traffickers would definitely refresh your three views.
