"So we have to think long-term about everything. Let's start by asking the surrounding residents to see if any descendants of the house over there have suddenly returned in the past few days."
After hearing his words, Xie Fanghua said uncertainly, "You suspect that they got their descendants to commit the crime. Do you have any evidence?"
"That should be an easy guess. Even if they're not a descendant, they must be someone related to their family. If they are related, how could they know the entrance to the underground passage?"
"Few people should be able to tell outsiders about this thing. After all, it is used to save lives, and they are also very familiar with this place."
"They were carrying such a big sack, but no one noticed them except the grandmother. This means they took a hidden path."
"Since we're not sure of anything right now, why not start investigating this? We'll know when the time comes."
Xie Fanghua nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and get their information. You guys collect clues here first. When you have any clues, have your people notify me."
"Okay, go quickly and tell everyone to be careful and not let the news leak out."
Just when he was about to leave, the old woman who was brought back by Gu Jingmo's men suddenly said, "Young men, what you said reminded me of something."
"Old Luo's son came back these past two months, and he brought four or five of his good brothers with him. We happened to run into him when he came back, and he even came to say hello to us."
"We asked him why he came back, and he said he couldn't make it out there anymore, so he came back to find a job and support himself."
"You don't know, their son is a bad student. Old Luo was angered to death by him. Just imagine him not being able to study properly but following others into society."
"I didn't make any progress, and after the economy opened up, I heard people say that you could make a lot of money in the south, so I took my brothers and went there."
"But looking at him, he probably doesn't have much of a future. Otherwise, why would he come back like that? He's over 30 and still doesn't have a wife."
"Because we don't have many young people here, we usually know about any movement in any family. In the past few months, only the son of the old Luo family has returned."
After hearing this, Xie Fanghua said excitedly, "Are you sure, old man?"
"Look, you young man, you still don't believe me. I've lived here for over forty years. I know exactly what every child looks like."
The director looked at her and explained, "It's not that we don't believe you, old lady. It's just that the information you provided is too important. If it's true, you saved a lot of people."
"I hope you can keep this matter confidential until we have a thorough investigation. Don't tell anyone. Just pretend that nothing happened today."
"If what you said is true, we will give you a banner, put you in the newspaper, and they will also give you a bonus."
"I know, my wife, I won't tell anyone. It doesn't matter whether there's money or not. Just don't forget the banner."
The director said happily after hearing this: "Don't worry, you will definitely not forget it. I will ask them to send you back first. If we have any questions later, we will come back to you."
After sending the person away, Xie Fanghua hurried back and investigated based on what the old woman said to see if this was true.
Based on what she said, this person is highly suspicious. First of all, he has a criminal record of being involved in gangs, and secondly, the timing of his return is too coincidental.
Not long after he came back, someone reported a case here, so they listed him as a key observation target and arranged people to monitor their area and report any movement in a timely manner.
After he left, Gu Jingmo took people to visit the people around their home to see if those who lived nearby had heard any noise.
After all, there are children here, so it is impossible for them not to cry or make a fuss. When they were first caught, maybe someone heard their crying. I'd better ask around to see if anyone knows what's special about this house.
There was no one living on either side of their house, so they had to go to the second house on their right to ask first, but since it was a bit far away, they didn't have much hope.
"No, I haven't heard anything. It's very quiet here at night. If there was any movement, we would definitely hear it." The old man they asked first said very confidently.
The grandmother of that family was busy apologizing to them. When she heard her old man say this, she smiled and said, "Old man, you are really confused. You have forgotten the crying sound you heard before."
"What kind of crying sound was that? When did you hear it? Can you tell me? It's very important to us." Xia Yanbing stood up and said anxiously.
"At night, we heard the sound of a child crying heartbreakingly, but it disappeared within two minutes. We thought it was a ghost."
"After all, there are no children here. We were scared when we heard the crying sound, but we haven't heard it since then. I thought I was hallucinating."
"I'm old now, and I have all sorts of problems, so I haven't told anyone. Now that you've asked, I'll tell you, although I don't know what you're going to do."
After hearing this, Xia Yanbing took her hand with gratitude and said, "Grandma, your information is very useful. Thank you, but I'm sorry that you can't keep the news of our visit a secret."
"Don't let anyone know. We have important things to do. Thank you very much."
The man said nonchalantly, "Okay, even if you ask me to go and tell them, I don't know who to tell. They've all gone over there, and there are only two of us left."
After they came out of the house and walked onto the road outside, Xia Yanbing said, "That's confirmed. So how do we save people?"
"Let's wait for news from the police first, and then we'll see what we can do." Gu Jingmo was also worried. He wanted to save people, but he also had to ensure Ajin's safety.
If it was someone who had nothing to do with them, they could just force their way in, and even if they were threatened, they wouldn't lose their minds. But now they had Xia Jin in their hands, so he was a little hesitant.

They are worried here, but the human traffickers are happy. They are happy that they have kidnapped people. If they hand them over to the people above them, and that people are satisfied and happy, their business will definitely grow bigger and bigger.
