Chapter 160
At this time, a man pushing a cart, who looked like a peddler, walked into a small alley.
Arriving at the door of a house, "Knock... knock knock... knock"
Someone inside heard this particular rhythm, walked to the door, and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
"Sister Hong! It's me! Ah San!"
The woman inside opened the door. She was the one holding the child that day. She let San in and leaned out to see if there was anyone following him.
Asan pushed the cart into the door and lifted the two straw mats covering it. A sleeping little girl was lying on the cart.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the woman, "Now we have everything. The situation is tense now, so you can't send it out. When the time comes, they will drive over to pick it up. We can take a side road and no one will check."
Sister Hong's eyes lit up when she saw the little girl. She touched her all over and nodded with satisfaction: "Although she's not as pretty as the one I liked that day, she's fair and clean and not bad either. Children in the city are just well-raised."
"Children in the city are pretty, but hard to steal! Right now, the police are checking outside very closely, so you must stay away. This is my old house, and it's going to be demolished. The neighbors around here have mostly moved out, so no one will notice you."
At this time, a chubby woman walked out of the room. She seemed to be the one who had restrained Su Miao that day. She said with disdain, "It's almost demolished, isn't it? The doors and windows are drafty everywhere. It's too rotten. It's worse than my hometown."
Ah San said, "Oh! Just get over it! Once this big thing is done, you can take the money back home and build a big brick house. Wouldn't that be fun? How are the other kids?"
The fat woman curled her lips towards the room and said, "She was about to cry, but I beat her up. Now she's behaved herself."
"You better be careful not to leave any scars, otherwise the buyer will bargain for you."
"Don't worry, I'm a professional. I know how to make them feel pain without leaving scars. Did you bring any food? There's not much left here."
"I've brought them." Asan took two cloth bags from the car, which contained rice, flour, vegetables, meat and eggs. After handing them to the fat woman, he went into the room to check on the child.
The ones shivering and huddled in the corner were Wangwang and Xiaoliu, the child who had been taken on the train before. A woman was playing with toys with him on the bed. It seemed that he had become familiar with the human traffickers and had stopped crying.
Ah San lifted the child in his arms, weighed him, and shook his head, saying, "He's much lighter now. He hasn't cried in the past few days. Stop giving him medicine. Feed him more meat and eggs to improve his complexion."
The woman nodded and said, "Okay, Third Brother, when will you drive over to pick them up? The two over there are already quite big. Will it be difficult to get them out?"
"They said they'd come the day after tomorrow. We'd split into two cars, drug them, and take them straight out the back road. Once the handover is complete, we're not responsible for anything else. They'll always find a way to take them to the buyer's house."
The woman touched the child's hair and said nothing.
Ah San saw her expression and shouted, "What are you doing?! They're all piglets! Don't be soft-hearted and do anything to me, or I'll go back and sell your child too!"
Sister Hong quickly came in to smooth things over: "Ah San! Oh! This is her first time doing this with us, she's not used to it yet, but she'll get used to it slowly. Everyone starts out like this!"
"Hmph! Keep an eye on her! If she gets confused, she'll kill everyone!"
Ah San left cursing.
Sister Hong walked over and slapped the woman directly on the face. Wangwang and Xiaoliu in the corner were shocked when they heard the slap.
"What's wrong with you!"
The woman cried and said, "He is only the same age as my baby, and he is going to be sold."
"Oh! What? Are you a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering? You have such a great compassion? Think about yourself first! If you can't make any money, go back and see if your man will beat you to death!"
After giving someone a slap in the face, you should also give them a sweet treat.
Sister Hong took her hand and said earnestly, "Sister! If I hadn't felt so sorry for you and couldn't bear to see you beaten to death, I wouldn't have brought you out. If you don't think about yourself, think about your child at least. With all the broken bricks and tiles in your house, your child can't even have enough to eat! Listen to me! Work hard, earn money, and bring your child out. Go to the city and live a good life!"
The woman's weakness was exposed. She wiped away her tears and said, "Sister Hong! I know. If nothing else, I have to work hard for my son."
Sister Hong looked at her with deep eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the little daughter also woke up. She realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment with strangers around her. She felt dizzy and immediately burst into tears.
"Hey! Don't cry!"
The fat woman went over and pushed the girl's head roughly. Her fierce look made the girl even more scared, and her crying gradually became louder.
Sister Hong immediately taped the girl's mouth shut and said impatiently, "Stay still! You can open it only when you stop crying, otherwise it will remain sealed! You are not allowed to eat!"
After saying that, he dragged her into the room, pushed her towards Wangwang and Xiaoliu, and made them squat together.
…
"Chief, another missing child case has been reported in the West District. This time, it's a six-year-old girl who was playing with her friends in the park. Her grandmother got distracted and the child disappeared. After coordinating with the Liuliu police, we've confirmed that the child was stolen by the group of human traffickers who attempted kidnapping the day before yesterday in a certain county town over there."
The Public Security Bureau Chief frowned. Within two days, two police stations in the same area reported missing children and an attempted kidnapping. This case was very tricky.
"I want all precincts to be more vigilant and intensify their investigations. Not only the local police, but also the street office staff must fully participate in the investigation. This gang of human traffickers is very experienced and has strong anti-detection capabilities. I initially suspect that people from outside the province are colluding with people from within the province. What are your thoughts on this case, Deputy Director Feng?"
Deputy Director Feng, as the director's deputy, was brought up by him and has extensive frontline experience in solving cases.
"Director, every precinct is now checking for new suspicious individuals. If they have accomplices, they must have heard about this and are preparing to transport the children. We are currently setting up checkpoints at all highway exits, but some of the village roads remain unfenced. I suggest allocating personnel to secure all of these roads to prevent human traffickers from escaping."
"Okay! You will be in charge of this work! This case has caused a huge stir among the public, and we must solve it as quickly as possible! We must apprehend these traffickers, and at the same time, we must pay attention to the safety of the abducted children! We must rescue them safely!"
"Yes! Chief!"
