Chapter 134: Jinjiang First Launch
Hearing this, Cuiqin slowly turned her head. She stared at Baimian, trying to tell the truth from his face. Baimian reiterated: "I didn't lie to you. Your son is still alive. I can take you to find him now!"
Magu frowned and looked at Baimian in surprise, not knowing what tricks she was trying to play. Cuiqin asked suspiciously, "How did you know that?"
Bai Mian: "I calculated it. From the beginning till now, I have predicted all your actions. When I was checking Magu's pulse, I saw your son's life trajectory!"
Cuiqin said with disdain: "Oh, fortune-telling, do you think I would believe this kind of nonsense? I think you guys are really poor and incompetent, you even brought up this kind of charlatan."
As she spoke, Cuiqin was about to jump off the cliff again. Bai Mian hurriedly said, "There is a mole on the back of your son's left hand, right?"
Cuiqin looked at Magu suspiciously: "You told her, didn't you?"
Magu shook her head desperately: "No, she and I are not in the same group. I don't know her at all! I don't know where this woman came from, but she really knows a lot of things. She can accurately tell me about my past. She also told me that you kidnapped my daughter!"
Cuiqin raised her eyes to Baimian and said, "Anything else? Go on."
Bai Mian: "Your son's nickname is Xiaosha. He loves to cry in the middle of the night. Your family nicknamed him Little Night Cat. In order to give your child a good growth environment, you and your husband both went out to work. Your husband worked at the Red Star construction site, and you worked at the Yuanshan construction site. After the child was lost, your husband accompanied you in the search for a while, but during the search, your husband fell in love with Sister Hong who ran a restaurant, so he divorced you, gave up looking for the child, and turned to pursue Sister Hong. From then on, you embarked on the long journey of searching for your child alone..."
Bai Mian told Cuiqin about her experiences in the first half of her life. Cuiqin was a little surprised. She couldn't remember many things herself, but Bai Mian, a stranger, remembered them more clearly than she did. It was simply amazing!
But these were not Cuiqin's main concern. She asked directly, "Where is my son now?"
Bai Mian: "He lives in an abandoned factory in Fuyang County, Jiangnan Province, collecting scraps for a living. He is already 20 years old."
Cuiqin's heart tightened: "My child, how could he fall to this point..."
Bai Mian: "After the family moved, the man did get a contagious disease and passed it on to the woman. The couple was hospitalized, leaving your son alone at home. The couple was not cured and died in the hospital. The family also spent all their money on medical treatment and mortgaged the house. The child was left alone and had to wander around."
Hearing this, Cuiqin felt a surge of regret: "So, the address I found was correct, but the information was wrong! It's all the fault of those neighbors. They told me that the whole family was dead, and I thought my son was dead too. I didn't expect that my son is still alive! If only I had held on a little longer!"
Bai Mian continued, "While wandering, your son met an old man who collected scraps. The old man was also alone. He saw that your son was cute, so he adopted him as his grandson. A few years later, the old man passed away, and your son inherited the scrap-collecting stall. He has also been looking for his biological parents."
Hearing this, Cuiqin became excited. She started to reverse the car, trying to get back to a safe area. Several police officers came forward to pick her up. When she saw the police, Cuiqin became alert again. She asked Baimian: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false? What if you are just kidding me?"
Bai Mian said, "How about this. Download the National Map APP, open the real-life map of Fuyang County, Jiangnan Province, and click on Second Street. You will see your son at the corner of the street."
Cuiqin's son often stayed in his abandoned factory, so he was included in the official street scene recording.
Cuiqin immediately downloaded the app and went to look for him as Baimian had said. Sure enough, she saw a ragpicker on the street corner. Although she only had a profile of him, the man looked almost exactly like her husband when he was young. Cuiqin recognized him at first glance - this was her son!
Cuiqin did not suspect anything and quickly reversed the car back to a safe area. The police immediately surrounded the gray car and rescued the hostages. Magu's daughter was lying in the trunk. She was still unconscious but not injured. The police untied her and took her back to the police car.
The police were about to arrest Cuiqin. Cuiqin did not fight, but begged the police: "Let me go find my son. I am willing to go to jail, but before I go to jail, please let me see my son. I have been looking for him for so many years. If I can't see him, I will die with regret!"
Xiao Chen could certainly understand Cuiqin's feelings as a mother. He called the director to report the matter. The director agreed to let him help Cuiqin find her son, so Xiao Chen decided to go to Jiangnan in person and bring the person back overnight.
When she heard that she would be reunited with her son soon, Cuiqin put on the handcuffs obediently. Her heart, which had been beating uneasy for more than a decade, finally returned to her chest at this moment.
Magu was also taken back to the police car. Her daughter returned safely, but she knew in her heart that the crime she committed was unforgivable and the death penalty was inevitable. If she died, all the illegal gains would be confiscated, and what would happen to her daughter?
After returning to the police station, Magu was very emotional, but Cuiqin was unusually calm. The police interrogated them separately, and Cuiqin confessed everything. She committed the crime alone. Her method was very simple. She had no strategy and relied on stupid methods.
Ever since she found out the address of Magu's house, she wanted to kidnap Magu's daughter when she was home alone. For this reason, she registered as a delivery rider, delivering only orders to Magu's neighborhood every day. She believed that if she persisted in this way, she would always run into Magu's daughter ordering takeout. As a result, by chance, she really ran into her daughter.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened next. The police quickly took Cuiqin's statement. All she had to do next was to wait to meet her son. Xiaochen went there by plane and he would try to come back as soon as possible. Cuiqin felt hopeful every minute and every second of the wait.
It was different for Magu. She was restless and kept begging for mercy from the police, hoping that they would spare her life. In order to survive, she took the initiative to redeem herself from her crime and confessed all the inside information she knew. This inside information could help the police bust more than a dozen human trafficking dens and rescue a large number of abducted victims.
Magu also revealed the details of her two mortal enemies, Baldy and Lie San. She knew that after her death, Baldy and Lie San would definitely attack her daughter. Instead of that, it would be better to drag them down with her now and eliminate the hidden danger for her daughter.
Magu said in a sophisticated manner: "The bald guy is just a pig, he has no brains and only knows how to fight. He can get ahead in the underworld because of his fighting ability. It's easy to catch him. You just need to use my phone to send him a text message and provoke him. He will immediately make an appointment to fight with me. When the time comes, you can just tell him a place and he will bring his men out. You can catch them all in one fell swoop."
"But Lie San is the most difficult to deal with. He is very meticulous and cunning. As long as there is any sign of trouble, he will run away immediately. It is difficult for you to catch him." Magu smiled grimly. "For example, Lie San and I agreed to trade at nine o'clock tonight. Now it is seven o'clock, and there are still two hours. If I don't arrive on time, he will definitely notice that something happened to me. Then he will cancel the transaction with me and quickly move to another place. Then you will never be able to find him again."
A police officer asked: "What is the content of your transaction?"
Magu: "I gave him a baby boy, and he wrote off my debt. I borrowed money from him before to expand my site, but this bastard was even more ruthless than a loan shark. He left me seven times and came back thirteen times. I have already repaid him the principal, but he still asked me for high interest. Of course I didn't want to give it to him, but I was afraid he would take action, so I promised to give him a few children to pay off the interest. I have already given him a few before, and this is the last one."
Police officer: "The baby boy you are talking about is the one we rescued?"
Magu nodded: "Yes, officer, I know according to your procedures, you will definitely send the baby boy home after saving him, but think about it, if you do that, Lie San will get away, isn't that a pity?"
The police officer frowned: "What do you mean?"
Magu smiled flatteringly: "I have a suggestion. You return the baby boy to me and let me hold the baby boy to continue the transaction with Lie San. Of course, you can ambush in the dark and catch Lie San when he shows up. This way, we can have the best of both worlds. Don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions. I do this just to redeem myself from my crime and redeem myself from a life sentence."
The two police officers were silent. They suspended the interrogation. One of the police officers reported the situation to the police chief Hu Xiaole, who immediately rejected the proposal: "No, absolutely not! This Guo Xiuzhen has a gleam in her eye. Everyone can see what she is thinking. She said she was making up for her crime, but in fact she just wanted to take the opportunity to escape! We, the police, must not cooperate with such a cunning person. We cannot take this risk. If she runs away during the transaction, how can we catch her?"
After hearing this, the police officer walked out of the office. Hu Xiaole was holding his head in his hands in the office, thinking. At this moment, Bai Mian pushed open the door of the director's office: "Director Hu, let me go."
"who?"
An outsider suddenly came to interfere in the investigation. Hu Xiaole wanted to scold her, but after seeing Bai Mian's face clearly, Hu Xiaole suppressed his words of scolding. After all, Bai Mian had assisted the police in solving cases twice, so he had to be polite to her.
Hu Xiaole slowed down his tone and said, "It's you, little girl. I know you. You are brave enough to help the police with the case, but this matter is very dangerous. We can't let irrelevant people get involved. Thank you for your kindness. You can go back."
Bai Mian did not leave, but said: "Magu wants to take the opportunity to escape, we must not let her leave the police station, but she is right. If there is any abnormality in the transaction tonight, Lie San will escape. In order to catch Lie San, the transaction tonight must be held as usual. I can dress up as Magu and take the child to trade with Lie San."
Hu Xiaole said with a headache: "We have professional plainclothes officers, we don't need you to play the role, and the baby boy can't be taken away. He is just a baby, we can't let him take risks."
"The plainclothes officers can act like Magu, but I can be Magu herself."
As he spoke, Bai Mian demonstrated his shape-shifting skills in front of Hu Xiaole, transforming himself into the appearance of Magu. Hu Xiaole's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Is this...is this magic?"
After a pause, Hu Xiaole blurted out these words. The education he received did not allow him to believe everything he saw.
Bai Mian smiled and said, "Just think of it as magic. How about you take me there now?"
Hu Xiaole said awkwardly: "But the baby..."
Bai Mian assured, "Don't worry, I won't let this child take any risks. When I leave, I will bring a baby boy with me, and this baby boy is transformed from a rag doll. Even if something really happens, no child in reality will be hurt."
"This, this, this... is there such a thing in the world?"
Hu Xiaole gritted his teeth, this was indeed too unbelievable, but it was happening right before his eyes and he had to believe it.
